POWER: Essentials of Dominance & submission

Real power is unbreakable and unmistakable - but never fakeable. Apply these valuable concepts to k!nk - and beyond.

When it’s real, you can feel it. One can put on boots or demand to be called “Sir” - but the conversation between bodies will always drown out acting or role-pIay. For this reason, an understanding of Er0tic power is absolutely vital to fulfilling k!nk scenes.

Embodied power dynamics can be felt not only by the Dom/me and sub, but by everyone in the room. Learn how to co-create scenes that feel alive and move everyone involved. Whether you're new to k!nk or a seasoned, this workshop will redefine how you approach power in your scenes.

💡 What We’ll Explore

  1. 🌟 The Nature of Power What is power? Drawing upon Taoist wisdom, you’ll learn the yin and yang of power. This fundamental understanding will give you a new set of eyes & change the way you view human interaction - in and out of k!nk.
  2. 🤝 Partner Work & D/s Dynamics Engage in light hands-on exercises to feel power dynamics from both perspectives. Practice coasting along in surrender as well as taking the reins with dominant presence. Even if switching isn’t something you’re used to, it’s essential for understanding.
  3. 🔍 Common Misconceptions Debunk myths about dominance and submission. Avoid common mistakes that kill the flow of your scenes.
  4. 🎨 The Art of Influence Explore how to locate someone's desires and understand their current headspace. Then, co-create magic - with their mind, body, and soul delightfully on board!
  5. 🌀 Connection & Attunement Learn how to provide and respond to feedback during scenes. Stay connected with your partner, even through friction. Learn how rigid planning kills eros in scenes and why you should always aim for the real gem: discovery.
  6. 🧠 Practical Tools for Power Exchange Gain actionable techniques for building trust and creating safer containers for authentic exploration.

We are having a 2-part evening of indulgence and learning. Come for the workshop and stay for the Jam to practice what you learned and meet other like-minded folks!

Workshop Format

  1. Feel Free to Take Notes! If it helps you learn, we encourage you to bring a notepad to jot notes and reflections
  2. Interactions: The Workshop may include personal reflections, interactive demonstrations, and practical exercises. This may include solo/partner/group activities. Participate and opt-in to the extent of your comfort - you can also just sit back at any time and observe others!
  3. Come Alone or With Someone! Come solo or bring a partner, a friend, a group of coworkers, your frenemies, or your entire polycule! During the exercises, you'll have the opportunity to interact with other students & switch partners, which allows for practicing with familiar partners and new acquaintances. We do not pair people up and encourage guests to make friends and engage to their level of comfort. Couples can stay paired the whole time or choose to practice with others.
  4. Dress Code: Feel free to dress however you want, whether vanilla or ready to practice. There is a place to change outfits.
  5. Who Can Come: This workshop is open to all gender identifications, orientations, lifestyles, singles and couples. All experience levels welcome. 18+

Jam After the Workshop:

A Jam session is a practice-based gathering where we focus on applying what you learned in the workshop or know within the context of the curriculum. The Jam is tailored to the interests of the students and may involve live demonstration scenes, guided practice time, and other applications of class material. Opt to engage to your comfort level or simply observe and learn. This is not a hookup-style event and the focus is on practice (Non Sex-Based).

Please Acknowledge:
It should go without saying, but we are going to spell it out clearly nonetheless: k¡nk and intimacy activities are inherently risky. Safety requires practice and cannot be guaranteed. By attending, you agree to participate at your own risk, conduct your own risk management, and agree to hold the event facilitators and facility harmless for any type of physical or emotional harm that may occur.
