The Strict and Gracious Queen: An Archetypal Style of Feminine Erotic Dominance.

Even today and all to often, a sexually Dominant Woman is portrayed as cold, mean, man-hating, and/or punishing.  In this workshop I will explain why that is, and offer a different model -- that of the Strict and Gracious Queen.   Revered, adored, and worshipped, her power comes from within -- it is the power of presence, of being. 

Men and women can and do use both male and female energies -- in the everyday world and the erotic world -- for everyone contains them, and both are essential in both worlds.  As such, this class is useful for all players: male, female, transgendered; top, bottom, and switch.

I will compare and contrast masculine and feminine styles of power, and discuss numerous Feminine Archetypes of Power.  We will discuss collaring, training, pain, punishment, reward, sex and dominance, and how to get both partners' needs met. 

There will be a demo, voluntary guided visualizations, handouts, and Q and A.  

Come get in touch with various archetypal styles of power, and learn about the Court of The Queen!

Tantric SM: Blending Ancient & Modern Erotic Techniques

Tantra is an ancient form of yoga that uses breath, motion/stillness, sexuality, energy awareness, and visualization.  Tantric SM allows a bottom to process intense sensation more efficiently and fully, moving to a deeper level.

Masochists and submissives will find themselves able to expand their physical  and emotional limits, receive more sensation, surrender more thoroughly, and be more "in the moment."

Knowing how to use the techniques of Tantric SM can help a Dominant improve her/his ability to read a submissive, establish a genuine connection quickly, and take a submissive deeper into "bottom space." 

I will show how Tantra can help illuminate pain, transform your SM roles, and deepen your sexual experience.  Tantra can also help create an intimate and profound connection between people, even those meeting for the first time.  I will lead voluntary group exercises, provide handouts, and demonstrate with a volunteer from the audience.  Come participate in this unique class.

This class is necessary to take before attending the Tantric Flogging class.

Tantric Flogging: Connecting Body, Mind, and Spirit

As Tantra is an ancient form of yoga that uses breath, motion/stillness, sexuality, energy awareness, and visualization to connect with Spirit in ourselves and in others, the focus of Tantric flogging is to experience Kundalini (Divine energy) rising through one's body.

You may then become a conduit of energy, have an SM energy orgasm, have an "out of body" experience, "fly," or reach "satori."   I will discuss how all these and other experiences can happen.  

There will be handouts, voluntary exercises, a Tantric flogging demonstration, Q and A, and if time permits and one wishes, I will take a volunteer from the audience on a Tantric flogging journey.

Please wear clothing with a  comfortable waistband so you may breathe deeply and easily.

Please note: It is necessary to take the Tantric SM class before attending this one as this class builds on the first.

Using Trance and Hypnosis in Your Scenes: Fact & Fiction

People go in and out of trance every day and don't even notice it!  This class is designed to wake you up to what you are already doing, and then expand your options.

Are you interested in exploring hypnosis and trance states in your scenes but concerned that you don't know how to hypnotize someone or that hypnosis might put you into a mindless state where you lose all control in a non-consensual manner? 

Actually, if you're an intuitive player, you may already be using hypnosis.  How can you benefit from deliberately improving your trance and hypnotic skills?

I will explain the difference between a trance and a hypnotic state, what hypnosis is and is not, and how using hypnotic techniques can establish rapport, enhance your erotic connection, increase intimacy, help a submissive go under more quickly, and help a masochist process pain more easily.  

I will also show how hypnotic, self-hypnotic, and post-hypnotic suggestions work and how self-hypnosis can help strengthen confidence and reduce performance anxiety for both Tops and bottoms.  

And I will even answer that burning question, "Can I really make someone come on demand?"

The class will include handouts, demonstrations, voluntary guided visualizations, and Q & A.   Players of all experience levels and orientations are welcome.

Impact Play Hands-On Workshop: For Pleasure, Pain, Power, Passion, and Punishment

The art of hand spanking is a subtle one.  Most people, understandably, think they know how to spank.  After all, what could be more simple that swatting a bottom?  But many do not realize that there are techniques to make the spanking a pleasure spanking, a play punishment spanking, a real punishment spanking, a ritual spanking, a gift to the Top, or a spanking that demonstrates the top's power, or ?  It's important to know these distinctions!

In the first half of this workshop I cover all the reasons and ways a person can spank and get spanked.  I discuss physical and emotional safety for both parties, various spanking & paddling techniques, how to make and not make marks, and what to do about bruising. I also demonstrate the safe areas of the body and give a hand spanking to a lucky volunteer from the audience!

I also bring my extensive collection of traditional and non-traditional paddles, gloves, and mitts, which you may peruse and get ideas.

The second half of the workshop is when you get to try out these techniques you've just learned and spank someone!  I have two spanking models who love to get spanked.  After my demo, you may either pair off and practice, or practice with one of my models, and I will give you compassionate feedback on your technique.  There will be no sexual behavior of any kind, just good old fashioned spanking! 

There will be handouts, demonstrations, and time for Q & A.
