GWNN Bash 2025

Chemical play isn’t inherently sexy, sadistic, or playful—it’s an instrument that can be applied to fit almost any dynamic. A drop of the right product can be nurturing or cruel, a reward or a punishment. Context is everything, and chemical play thrives on that versatility.

Unlike impact play, where marks and sounds offer tangible proof of intensity, chemical play is often subtle, even invisible. The drama is internal. Let’s relish the theatricality of the unseen, where reactions might look quiet from the outside but feel excruciating to the person experiencing them.

A little bit slapstick, a little bit psychological warfare, and a whole lot of experimentation. Grab your lab coats and a bag of Q-tips—things are about to get spicy. For science!

Edge play is where risk, trust, and thrill collide. From knife play and breath play to humiliation and fear play, edge play pushes boundaries—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. But what makes an experience “edgy” is deeply personal.

We’ll dive into the nuances of edge play, including:
- Why people are drawn to it and the connection it creates.
- How to negotiate high-risk scenes with clear boundaries and consent.
- Mitigating risks, recognizing limits, and handling intense emotions before and after play.
- Navigating stigma, community, and mentorship in exploring edge play safely.

Come ready to discuss, share, and learn. Whether you’re curious or experienced, this is a judgment-free space to explore what "edge" means to you.

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.

Where masculine energy meets raw intention.
