When someone is raised in a free society and then enters into a formal M/s relationship, there are attending obligations for both the Master and the slave that change our perceptions and how we go about our daily lives. Perceived loss of freedom – from both the Master and slave perspective – can result in reactance.
Processing reactance and recognizing it is one of the most difficult and misunderstood elements of authority exchange relationships. It can often be the cause of the dissolution of a relationship and each party is completely unaware of it.
But what is reactance? Is it really rebellion or something totally different? Is it a loss of control, or an attempt to wrest control away? Or… is it both?
In this presentation we look into reactance and help others to recognize it as well. We help illustrate the nature of reactance is, and what it says about who we are. We examine if it is rare, or to be expected? And even if it is expected, is it something that we can avoid, or at least manage? This presentation requires all of us to look hard at ourselves, and ask ourselves how dedicated to our M/s relationships we are willing to be—and how to wrestle with deep seated social wiring that may set our motives at variance to one another.
Mmm sharp, shiny, swords, knives, nails, scalpels and anything else you can cut with!

Flagging is more than a fashion statement, it has a purpose. In this class we will teach the basic colors of flagging and the art of old school cruising as Sir David learned in the 70’s in San Francisco . This class is designed to teach the art form of cruising and hooking up without using a single word.
In some parts of the country, a trainer is easy to find, and in other parts of the country it is almost impossible. The class is a confidence boosting course for new puppies that are coming into the community or pups that are coming back after a break from the community. Discuss the puppy head space with a new handler, puppy handler dynamics, learning to talk with a new handler and seeing where it leads. Some handlers are interested in pup, but do not know how to interact with a pup, thus helping the pup and handler both have confidence of themselves to approach other pups and handlers.
This course covers topics such was prepping the the pup for a vet or any other type of medical scene (calming techniques), Obedience training using hang signals and foreign language commands. Impact play safety, humiliation training including caging and use of diapers. Aftercare for not only the only the pup, but for the trainer as well. Sometimes we forget that the Dominate partner also needs aftercare as well. We also do a Puppy 101 Review.
How much is too much? When does the physical become the psychological? How far can the mind be pushed using only the physical senses to overload it? How do we approach that and where do we draw the line? This workshop is all about the deep dark scary side sensation play.
We will be forcing short circuiting, analyzing what makes the buttons fire and why, covering how to create a short circuit pattern. We will also be discussing the pros and cons of this sort of play and how to create the safe bubble needed to keep both the top and bottom emotionally, mentally and physically safe.
No one will be broken, but when we’re done, there will be a quivery puddle of goo…
If you are hoping for a fluffy, bunny-fur style of sensation play workshop THIS IS NOT IT. For everyone’s wellbeing, I ask that this class only be attended by advanced players. Thank you.
Whether you long to have your feet loved on, worshiped and adored, or desire to bestow adoration, this class offers something for everyone.
In this workshop we’ll cover everything from tried and true foot care techniques and shoe sizing, to how to approach someone without coming across as “creepy”.
Beyond foot lovin’ we’ll show you some fantastic techniques for using your feet, heels and boots in your scenes and share some great stories.
This will be a foot lover’s delight you won’t want to miss, so put on whatever footwear makes you feel hot, or bring it along (perhaps you’ll meet your Cinderella or Cinderfella) and come play with us!
Cutting, piercing, puncturing and so much more! This class is all about blood; our craving for it, our desire to see it drawn, gathered and played with, (safely and effectively!)
WARNING: If you faint at the sight or smell of blood this workshop may not be for you.
However, if the sight of blood makes you giddy, or piques your curiosity, I invite you to join me for a delightful adventure of oooohs and aaaahs as I show you a collection of fun ways to treasure and enjoy our most valuable asset.
