Scene Building Fundamentals • 2-Day Weekend Transformation

Do you feel stuck at the “beginner” level?

Want to explore but don’t know where to start?

Wish you had kinky friends to learn with?

Have you ever watched an amazing scene unfold, and thought, “I wish I could do that”?

This 2-day, in-person intensive was designed to be your shortcut. Forget years of trial and error. In just 48 hours, you’ll gain practical experience through hands-on exercises, live demonstrations, and guided discussions led by Master Cat and Master Joshua, Co-founders of The Sanctuary of East Harlem.

Over the course of the weekend, you will:

  1. Get hands-on instruction in the BDSM modalities you're most curious about: Scene negotiations, rope, impact play, mummification, flogging, and body mapping
  2. Learn in a welcoming, newbie-friendly space
  3. Receive the kind of insight most people take years to figure out on their own

By the end of the intensive, you’ll leave feeling:

  1. Confident in your abilities
  2. Excited to try what you’ve learned
  3. Connected to a supportive community

FAQ

What makes Scene Building Fundamentals different from other kink workshops or intensives?

At Scene Building Fundamentals:

  1. You learn by doing — no lectures, no PowerPoints, no sitting for hours. Just hands- on, real-time learning.
  2. You’re seen and supported — attendance is capped to ensure personal attention and equal opportunity for all.
  3. You get the real-world insights most classes skip — through roundtable discussions, Q&A sessions, and personalized feedback.
  4. You’re held in a safe, encouraging space — where curiosity is welcomed and vulnerability is respected.

What if I’m coming from out of town?

  1. We have in-house lodging options available upon request. Ask us for more details when you sign up.

Will there be food?

  1. Light breakfast, coffee, and snacks provided. Bring lunch/dinner or explore nearby eateries.

Is the venue accessible?
