Head-Fuck as Art: D/s Play and Its Rules
Instructor: Jordan, Director of Education
Description: In the realm of the imagination, D/s play reigns triumphant. Often an activity invisible to the naked eye, this play area covers a large part of our connection as kinky folk. This class gives us a framework to explore, methods for incorporating other activities into the D/s atmosphere, and techniques for making that desired other feel just as powerful or helpless as they’d like. Anyone 18 or older may attend.
Fee: $5 members / $8 non-members


On Brands and Branding: An Evening with Kyphi
Instructor: Kyphi
Description: Branding is nothing to be taken lightly. This event is not intended to teach. Its purpose is to expose you to the practice of branding. Kyphi will be discussing her own branding and be answering questions. Why was it done? How did it feel to be branded, both physically and mentally? What was it like afterwards? Learn the answer to these questions and any others you may have. Anyone 18 or older may attend.
