Playing with Consent; a Scene-Building Guide to CNC
Friday June 27, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Establishing consent is a corner-stone of ethical BDSM play, but negotiating consent is more complex than just getting a person's permission. Exploring the properties of consent can help us build better scenes, avoiding blind spots in our negotiations and lead us to exploring edgier play. By dialing in precisely what you want to consent to you can have a scene that is deeply satisfying.

In this class we will:
    • Review frameworks for exploring consent 
    • Demonstrate how to build a risk model using consent frameworks
• Provide examples of play that reflect different consent-based risk models

When this class is over, you will have a personal risk-model for your play that you can use to negotiate anything between casual pick-up play to dark edge play.

Redefining Power: Exploring Unconventional Paths to Power Exchange
Friday June 27, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm CDT
Think dominance means total control and submission means passive obedience? Not necessarily.

Power exchange isn’t one-size-fits-all. What if the submissive managed the finances, or the Dominant focused on emotional support? In this class, we’ll challenge traditional D/s roles, explore unexpected ways to structure dynamics and perspectives, and help you design a relationship that fits you.

Let’s break the mold and discover new ways to lead, serve, and surrender—on your own terms.

Care & Feeding of Your Neurodivergent
Friday June 27, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
(Especially if that neurodivergent is you)

We all need some care and consideration sometimes and for neurodivergents navigating the kink scene there can be extra challenges to overcome. Fueled by my own late diagnosis (and the subsequent training of my neurotypical partner and myself) we'll share and discuss strategies (and scientific research) that may be helpful to your own neurodivergent.

"I Fucked Up!" Twelve Fatal Errors Dominants Make (And How To Avoid Them)
Friday June 27, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT
In my journey I have made a lot of mistakes. I mean a LOT of mistakes. One of the things that elevates homosapiens above the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to learn from the trials and errors of others through verbal and written communication across continents, generations, and vast oceans of time. We can learn from the failures and mistakes of people we've never even met who lived thousands of years ago or thousands of miles away. Well, you can learn from my fuckups right here and now. In this class I will go over 10 of my biggest mistakes as a Daddy, Dominant, and Master and how you can avoid them.
