GWNN Bash 2025

You didn’t want to talk about it during negotiations, and something got fucked up. It’s too late to go back but how do we go forward?  Redemption in the community begins with communications: Common Terms and realistic expectations, and personal stories about owning our shit.  This class will be welcoming the personal stories.  The doors will be closed after it begins, And if you leave you won’t be back in.   Come with your “goo” - and let’s get passed it together.  The class will modify to meet the level of the participants.

This class will explore sadistic ideas for beautifully painful rope scenes. This class is meant for beginners and intermediate rope enthusiasts. Mister Everest and Tied Bird will provide tools (tangible and intangible), techniques and demonstrations for "torture rope", while introducing patterns and ideas for predicaments. This class will not cover suspension techniques, but will highlight the joy of sadistic ground ties.

We enter an M/s dynamic to grow, learn, play, love, enjoy the lifestyle and as time goes on that bond grows and we grow older, our needs change, our goals change, our dynamic changes too. We will discuss the challenges of growing older and it's effects on our dynamics, how to help your dynamic evolve as your lives evolves, what steps can be made to preserve the dynamic while accommodating for the changes that come with growing older.

Many years ago in my vanilla life, I trained dogs and taught other people how to train dogs! I figured there had to be a way to combine my knowledge with kink and here we are. We will cover the basics of learning theory and will teach handlers the mechanics of a training session. This class will teach you all the components of training and working with animals and how you can apply them to your petplay. Introducing the clicker to your pet will build new ways to communicate without words.

** There will be time for hands on learning at this end of this class. There will clickers, treat pouches and some training treats provided. If you have a favorite snack or food allergies and would like to participate please bring some!

There's a whole lot more to this kink than most people think. How it works and what it does though is dependent upon how it’s used, one's headspace and relationship dynamics. On one end of the spectrum, it can help increase sexual desire, improve performance, intensify a man’s pleasure and orgasms, while providing a constant undercurrent of sexual stimulation.  What’s not to like about that?

But it can also be practiced with a partner as part of a relationship control dynamic where it can be used as a powerful tool to modify emotions and behavior, including feelings of submission. We will examine the changes in body chemistry it induces to amplify one’s energy and generate intense feelings of pleasure, happiness, self-confidence and emotional closeness. Done properly, it can induce a state of ongoing euphoria.

We will explore the various headspaces and motivations for both partners, how to best use it to build imbalanced power dynamic relationships, and to maximize what each partner gets out of it. We will also cover the many types of chastity devices out there and how to find one that works for you. Numerous chastity devices will be available for you to check out.

Learn how to find your bliss with chastity, while avoiding the dangers of a crash and burn that can happen when it’s done wrong.

Many people dive head first into the BDSM world while thinking of rope, handcuffs, and other restraints (Bondage) or perhaps the giving (Sadism) or receiving (Masochism) of pain. A lot of participants breeze over "the big D", or the discipline aspect of BDSM. For some, discipline is the heart and soul of what it is that we do. Join Lady Steele as she speaks on what richness discipline can add to your power exchange relationship, even if that relationship is with yourself. Come hear how this vital aspect of BDSM can take your experience to the next level. Protocols, rituals, various forms of education, and practical, everyday applications of discipline will be discussed.

This class would benefit anyone on "either side of the slash".

Even the most well-negotiated scenes can sometimes take an unexpected turn, leaving one or more partners in emotional distress. This workshop equips participants with essential “mental first aid” skills to recognize, assess, and respond to distress signals before, during, and after play. Learn how to effectively, provide immediate emotional support, and utilize grounding techniques to ensure safety and well-being. Whether you’re a top, bottom, or switch, these skills will help you foster a more compassionate and resilient kink community.

Why play solo when you can tag in a partner and double the creativity, energy, and mischief? Whether you're looking to master the art of good cop/bad cop, orchestrate a seamless group round-robin, or explore the thrill of proxy topping, this class is all about teamwork, communication, and making sure everyone involved is having an unforgettable time.

We’ll dive into strategies for reading each other’s cues, keeping the scene flowing smoothly, and making sure your shared energy enhances the experience rather than stepping on toes—literally and figuratively. Whether you're brand new to co-topping or looking to refine your skills, get ready for a class full of creativity, collaboration, and, most importantly, fun!

Calling all "s" types, or folx on the "right side of the slash". Have you ever been accused of being "bratty", "difficult", "contrary" or just downright disobedient when that really isn't your intention at all? If so, then this is the class for you! Join Lady Steele as she shows you how to be sassy with a zing all while honoring the duties and responsibilities of your power exchange relationship(s). She will discuss Alpha personality types on the "right side of the slash" and then show those that are "challenging" how to be so with obedience while not giving up what makes them, them.
