Switch It Up with ProfesSir Greg
A lot of us in the community are hearing more about switches, but rarely do we get to hold space to talk about the joys and struggles of being a switch in BDSM dynamics. This session will offer some different ways to define “switch,” explore what that can look like in and out of more traditional Dom/sub dynamics, and play a bit with our bodies and communication strategies for expressing switchiness.

Releasing Shame with ProfesSir Greg
Shame is so often a major barrier to kink exploration. And yet, shame is rarely ever ours to carry. This dialogue session centers the topic of shame as it relates to kink and our sexualities in hopes of dislodging shame as a societal mechanism of control that we rarely consent to. Of note: this session is not designed to shame kinksters who are into shaming in BDSM dynamics.

Identity Work: Creating Intentional Dynamics and Community through Intersectional Thinking with ProfesSir Greg and Rhyse
Building inclusive dynamics, spaces, and communities begins inside ourselves. How can we build awareness about our community members who are different from us? How can we learn to be fully present and supportive in our relationships, both romantic and communal? This session seeks to begin answering these questions by building awareness of our own unconscious biases and learning to dismantle them. Together, we will explore methods that build intercultural awareness across various intersecting identities, including but not limited to race, class, gender, sexualized, disability, ethnicity, age, size, and beauty. Join us in imagining the sorts of relationships and spaces we can build together when we learn to care for others as their unique selves.

Drumming, Fleshing, Cupping: Fireplay 101 with Rhyse
There’s something primal about touching flame to skin. The psychological and sensory thrills are exceptional, but fireplay, like other forms of edge play, comes with significant risk. So, how can we light up our partner in the safest and most pleasurable ways possible? This class employs RACK to cover the safest methods we can use in fireplay: necessary equipment and setting up your play space, demonstrations of various techniques including cupping, fleshing, and drumming, and a “tasting.”

Ties You Can Use: Single and Double Columns with the “Lark’s Head” with Rhyse
In this hands-on workshop, Rhyse combines presenter-led demonstrations with attendee practice. We’ll discuss basic safety practices, safety checks, and negotiation practices specific to rope scenes. When you leave this class, you should know how to tie the most versatile of shibari knots, the “Lark’s Head,” to tie single column, double column, and hogties. No previous experience with rope is necessary.

A Little Leverage: Simple Body Harnesses for Intimate Encounters with Rhyse
Using the beginner-friendly Lark’s Head and Overhand knots, attendees will work alongside the instructor to construct a full body bind. This includes hip harness, chest harness, and optional ties for the wrists and ankles that serve to heavily restrict the bottom’s mobility while providing the Top with all-important leverage. In addition to being fun, sexy, and aesthetically pleasing, these ties also create accessibility for intimate connections. Come to class prepared to tie and be tied.

Trans Bodies in BDSM and Kink Spaces with Rhyse and Ace*
A conversation exploring trans bodies, BDSM, and kink spaces. More information coming soon.

Pup Play with Pup Zane*
An introduction to the playful, embodied world of pup play. More information coming soon.

Wax with Sir Bob and Mark
Have you ever played with wax or fantasized about it? We will have a conversation on risk, safety, and RACK, then talk about materials used in hot wax play, which waxes are best, different temperatures of waxes, and how smooth or hairy bodies can be waxed. We will also explore what brings you here psychologically, including releasing fears and opening to desires. We will demonstrate a wax edge session, and then it’s hands-on exploring.

Wrap / Mummification with Sir Bob and Mark
This is very much a hands-on class. Psychologically, we will explore releasing fears of giving away control and building trust. We will create a safe group space and have a conversation on safety and risk. Participants will pair up, with step-by-step instructions on ways to wrap. Often when wrapped, folks have an out-of-body experience or a cocoon feeling. Each person has their own experience. Often more BDSM play happens. We will demonstrate other toys that can be used.

Impact with Sir Bob and Jeff
This is a hands-on class where we will explore different impact items. We will do a show-and-tell pass-around with items including hands, paddles, floggers, canes, and more. We will talk about health and safety, including impact locations on the body. We will pair off and practice.

WS with Sir Bob
We will gather for a conversation on water sports. Why would you enjoy WS or not? We will talk about RACK in water sports. Is it fantasy? Is it shame? This class is interactive and, weather permitting, will take place outside.

Drumming Flogging Circle with Sir Bob
We will gather outside around a fire to the beat of drums and listen to the mountains of Easton speak. Flogging to the temple, to release energy and receive. The great fire is also a time to let go of things that no longer hold space for you and to open your mind to journey deeper in self-awareness.

Trust Walk with Sir Bob*
A guided trust-building activity exploring surrender, awareness, and connection. More information coming soon.

Electro with Jeff*
An introduction to electro play, sensation, and safety. More information coming soon.

Joyful Noize: Morning Musical Spanking with Daddy Freddy and Jeff
Start your morning with rhythm, impact, connection, and a little joyful noize. Each session will use a different musical theme to guide a partnered spanking experience, with participants pairing up randomly for an intimate, playful, and stimulating way to wake up. The music helps shape the energy, enhance the impact, and create a unique bond between partners.

Each morning will have its own musical flavor:

  • Thursday: Broadway Spanktacular
    Big feelings, big drama, theatrical builds, and intensity.

  • Friday: Prince and the Purple Ass
    Sexy, funky, sensual, rhythmic, and playful.

  • Saturday: Rock My Body
    Power rock, big choruses, with a mix of upbeat songs and emotional ballads.

  • Sunday: Gospel Morning
    Joyful, soulful, uplifting, and communal for the final morning.
