This workshop will venture into the sharp, rhythmic language of the cane and the psychological edges of predicament play. This is where suffering becomes a dynamic puzzle of choice & endurance.
We’ll explore how to combine impact and predicament with elegance, menace, and intentionality. The art of cruelty and beauty of suffering is most transcendent when it is deliberate and precise. Whether you're crafting a scene of high intensity sensation or a slow-burn torment that unfolds over time, you will learn how to execute this experience in an attuned way that leaves you and your play partner feeling more connected and inspired.
Techniques will range from classic corporal styles to inventive setups that test the body and mind. We'll cover physical safety, caning history. scene pacing, emotional layering, and how to negotiate and construct consensual suffering that feels alive, charged, and erotically vibrant.
Come ready to play, observe, and stretch your edge.

About Your Instructors
Leela DeLieto
Leela is a visual artist, feral mystic, BDSM educator, relationship anarchist, and creative threshold mentor who works at the crossroads of eros, art, and altered states. Drawing from a background in Sri Vidya Tantra, Advaita Vedanta, somatic experiencing, and depth psychology, she guides others into deeper contact with their power, agency, and authenticity through ritual and erotic exploration. Her studies of sorcery, ceremonial magick, and mystical arts informs her creative approach to kink. An approach that honors shadow, tension, and combusts the binary between the sacred and profane. She is both a sadist and a masochist, and draws creative inspiration from the paradox of pain, desire, and the courage it takes to think for oneself in a world that punishes difference. Leela teaches that pushing boundaries, both internal and societal, is not only a path to personal freedom, but an act of self-authorship in a time where sameness is exalted.
