GWNN Bash 2025

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to polyamory, yet ethical and sustainable relationship structures require intentional design. This presentation examines various polyamorous frameworks, from hierarchical to non-hierarchical and relationship anarchy, helping participants assess what aligns best with their values and relational needs. Attendees will explore boundaries, agreements, and power dynamics while learning how to adapt relationship structures over time. Whether new to polyamory or experienced, this session will provide insights for fostering healthy, fulfilling connections.

How do you inspire voluntary submission and obedience? Whether you identify as a Dom, Domme, Master, Mistress, Handler, Trainer, Daddy, or Mommy, effective, inspirational leadership is a skill that takes time and effort to learn and cultivate. We will explore some of the techniques and philosophies I have acquired through experience and study, mistakes I have made, and lessons I have learned in my journey that have helped me become a better leader.

Life seems to be smooth sailing. Our days are full, our life is rich and our play runneth over. If it were not for those few challenges, at work, at home, at the group meeting, we would be perfectly happy. And we just can’t figure out why people don’t return our calls or perfectly reasonable e-mails. What is it with the guy at the meeting that just can’t “let it go”? And why is it that when we get concerned about something, people think we are angry? Let’s spend a little time and talk about what is often our biggest roadblock in the Community-US. How we are handling important parts of our life with a lot more opportunity than expertise.   Let’s sail into a discussion about opportunity in communication and not forget to toss in a lifeline or two about negotiations,  credibility and  transformative leadership, and see if we can get back to some smooth sailing once again.

Have you ever looked off into the distance at an ominous-looking high fence covered with barbed wire and thought "that looks like fun"? Yeah...Neither have we.

From ouchy bondage to bloody impact, there are many ways to introduce barbed wire to a scene.
This class will explore different types of barbed wire, applications for barbed wire in BDSM, safety considerations, and risks associated with this spiky accessory for play.

And of course, there will be demos.
