vetting with intention
a workshop with Q (She/Her/Ma’am)

in kink dynamics, success and fulfillment hinge on more than just understanding roles and techniques—they require a deep exploration of your own needs, boundaries, and desires. this course focuses on the critical practice of self-vetting, where self-awareness is the foundation for creating satisfying and safe experiences.

self-vetting is the process of deeply examining your intentions, motivations, and emotional needs before engaging in BDSM dynamics. we will explore asking ourselves vetting questions such as “am I healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, etc., ready to engage in a dynamic, partnership, whatever-ship, or to seek a play partner?” through thoughtful self-reflection, you can see how your decisions align with your values and desires, allowing for more authentic and meaningful interactions.

(you make me feel like…) pursuing gender euphoria in partnered play
a discussion with Leo Sugar (he/him/his)

gender dysphoria can be a major mood-killer. thankfully, there are tools available to help make partnered scenes feel especially gender-affirming. in this discussion-based workshop, we’ll start out with a little theory where we’ll dive into what gender is exactly, where dysphoria & euphoria come from, and why partners often play such a big role in both feelings. we’ll learn how to reframe when our kinks feel at odds with our gender, and we’ll discuss how leaning into gendered stereotypes & intentionally subverting them can both produce gender euphoria. we’ll also discuss how we can best affirm our partners & advocate for our own affirmation, and we’ll practice designing scenes that produce gender euphoria.

CW: this workshop will include candid discussions of gender, sex, dysphoria, and kinks (including CNC, forced feminization, etc.) that may be triggering. please prioritize your mental health when engaging with this content.

1:30-2:30p

leather care 101
a lecture + demo with pig (they/them)

(animal) leathers; jackets, boots, collars, cuffs, toys … are made from skin and, like your skin it needs care to keep it healthy and lasting a lifetime. whether you want to care for your leathers or Y/our leathers, here, we are going to start from the basics - understanding what leather physically is. with hands-on examples, we will cover the general structure of leather, the various common grains, and tanning processes that make the gear we love. this fundamental understanding makes identifying various types of leather easier which, in turn, informs how to care for various pieces of gear. there are also a daunting number of cleaning and conditioning products on the market. with examples, we will cover popular products, how to select them based on the common types of leather, and how to use them for maximum results. finally, there will be a demonstration covering the basic steps of boot care - cleaning, conditioning, polishing, and shining. handouts will be provided on each section for later reference.

art unleashed: when blood takes flight
a lecture with Leo Gauge (he/they/Sir)

defeat the weasels: rejection sensitive dysphoria and D/s
a lecture + discussion with Meredith (she/her)

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a little-understood aspect of ADHD that frequently co-occurs with anxiety. for submissives in relationships where behavior correction may be part of daily life, the extreme emotional responses prompted by RSD can be even worse pain than a physical punishment. for Dominants with RSD, the roller coaster ride of negative thoughts can damage self-confidence and the trust that is essential to safe play. finding ways to listen to your partner instead of your brain weasels is a great reward personally and within the dynamic.
