Educational Classes, Workshops, and Discussions:

Availability & Interest: A new negotiation Model (@whosthatbear and @Lady-Rae)

Talking about “what we want” can sometimes lead us astray. In this workshop we’ll explore other options to connect with and align ourselves with those we want to share ourselves and our experiences with. Instead of hoping we mean the same things when we answer what we “want” (spoiler, we aren’t) … let’s talk about our availability and interests. This approach to conscious communication and negotiation creates space for, and empowers us to advocate for our own personal values as well as the experiences we hope to share with others.

Intentional Rope: 90-120min demo & class with @ZenJute and @Perseme

The goal of this class is to create an intentional approach to the whole body and mind experience of rope bondage. We discuss safety and communication with yourself and your partner, to help negotiate a common intention. We will discuss how rope bondage is not about technique or pattern but rather about the intentional mutual journey that both partners embark upon as they tie.

Intimate Primal Play: 120min All Levels, Lecture & Demo & Practice with @skyewolf

As the prey, would you surrender your throat to the beast with the hunger? As the devourer, would you offer your hunger to your prey? For many, Primal Play primarily involves the expression of raw and wild aggressive energies, or dynamic play such as hunting/chasing and struggling for dominance or survival. In this workshop, we will instead explore and practice a form of Intimate Primal Play that begins after the choice to surrender has already been made, and all that remains are the taking and devouring of the prey. While partnered people already in a relationship will get the most from this, feel free to come solo and maybe find a practice partner, or at the very least, learn a new way to express Primal. Come see that you really don’t need high energy or a certain physical capability to engage in Primal Play.

Connect with the nature and environment around us in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley to learn how to identify and connect with the medicine that nature provides.

Finding your authentic Dom(me) space with @WhosThatBear

“Fake Doms.” “True Submissives.” We are constantly bombarded with messages about what roles are supposed to look like, how to act, and what we SHOULD be feeling. Where does YOUR power come from, your joy? Join in a guided conversation about authentic power dynamics, where they can come from, and how that can add to connection to self and those around you!

Electric Energy Work: with @WhosThatBear

What has lots of potential for connection and can help you feel grounded? (See what we did there?) There’s an intrinsic link between the unseen forces of nature and our conscious experience of existence. Come explore the intersection of connection, sensual touch, and electroplay with our energetically charged workshop with reverse contact violet wands!

Finding Your Kink - Identifying and Communicating Your BDSM Interests @Wolfspirit

Understanding and knowing how to communicate your interests is an essential part of building fulfilling kink experiences. This two-part course is designed to guide students in first identifying the fetishes and types of play that interest them, and then communicate those wants and needs with their partner. In part one, students walk through a combination of self-reflection, interactive exercises, and group discussions to identify and map out their kinky interests and preferences. In part two, the students pair up with their partners and practice communicating the fetishes and types of play they are interested in exploring. At the end of this course, students will have a clear understanding of their individual interests and how those interests align with their partner.

Bringing the Sacred to the Kink with @skyewolf

Our scenes are a culmination of what we bring into them. The thoughts, emotions, desires, intents, and more all come together in a swirling cloud of uncertainty. Sometimes, we find that we can feel or touch on something new that gives a new depth to our play. While some call it Woo, energy play, etc., it’s all based on how much of our spirit and energy self we put into the scene. This class will demonstrate and cover various examples of bringing the spiritual to the scenes and working with energy to intensify the experiences for both the Top and Bottom in either the seeker or guide role

Values Alignment & Power Dynamics Community Discussion Panel

The venn diagram between our availabilities and interests is a great place to begin the discussion about the experiences we can share. How does that conversation shift when you layer the nuances and structure of a power dynamic. In this panel discussion we’ll hear from couples that engage in various flavors of power dynamics and exchanges while ensuring that each partner’s interests and availability is protected and advocated for. Come hear from members of our community that live these values and practice various flavors of 24/7 power exchange dynamics as a matter of their daily life.

'Gongfu cha’ Tea Service Ceremony with Pamela

Guided Chinese tea ceremonies known as 'gongfu cha.' This is an ancient practice that combines meditation with the sensory ritual of preparing an infusion of the camellia sinensis plant. My interest in tea ceremony stems from my passion for exploring the overlaps among the human practices of art, spirituality, sensual experiences, food culture, and mindfulness. My highest excitement is to create environments for people to experience the wonder, the inspiration, and the pleasure of body-mind integration.
