Reverence and devotion to another human being is a fantastic way to enjoy and expand the depth of your relationship. In the act of worshipping another, we often discover beautiful ways to love even ourselves more deeply. When we combine intentionality with somatic gestures like aching to kneel before a lover or sitting tall and being worshipped without apology… interpersonal connections can become mythic - and we feel these truths land in our bodies. Forget what you’ve been told - in intentional containers of k!nk, one can find great pleasure and meaning in putting your partner on a pedestal. There’s nothing wrong with savoring power as your lover adores you, kissing you down to the bottoms of your feet.Together we’ll learn about and honor the roots of worship in k¡nk, experiment with its many expressions, and learn how to engage in these types of $cenes with integrity, intentionality, and delicious depth.
💡 What We’ll Explore:
- 🌟 The Essence of Devotion – Trace the roots of worship in k¡nk, from ancient rites to modern play, and understand how adoration and reverence create magnetic intimacy.
- 🌀 States of Attention & Presence – Learn to shift between giving and receiving with clarity and confidence. Practice staying grounded in dominant or submissive states without collapsing the interpersonal dynamic.
- 👑 Embodying the Sacred & the Sensual – Cultivate the inner authority, grace, and charisma needed to feel completely worthy of devotion—or to offer it wholeheartedly. Explore posture, eye contact, breath, and subtle energetic cues.
- 🔥 Designing Rituals of Reverence – Discover how to weave intention, symbolism, and sensory detail into worship scenes, from simple exercises of genuine praise to elaborate ceremonies.
- 🎭 Crafting Worship Scenes – Learn to structure scenes that balance spontaneity and design: physical acts (touch, kneeling, massage), verbal adoration, offering tokens, or more complex choreographed sequences of service and discipline.
- 💫 Sensory & Somatic Elements – Incorporate intentional physicality into scenes to deepen surrender or amplify your presence as the one being worshipped.
- 🛕 Altars, Offerings & Sacred Space – Learn to curate environments and physical totems that elevate adoration.
- 💎 Receiving with Openness – Develop the capacity to let adoration in without shrinking or deflecting energy. Practice meeting praise with grounded receptivity and pleasure.
- ⚖️ Power Dynamics in Devotion – Examine the responsibilities of both roles, especially when things get a little complex (Who counts as the “bottom”? Who is in control? etc.)
- ✨ Negotiation, Aftercare, and Integration – Discover practices for creating containers for worship that leave both parties nourished and balanced without adversely affecting “real-life” dynamics.
