Whether you’re new to impact play or want to take your play to the next level, we’d love you to join us for a unique daylong impact play experience. This daylong intensive is for tops and bottoms alike who would like to deepen and refine their impact play skillset.

We’ll work together to create a unique, hands-on immersion into impact play. We’ll cover negotiation and safety, emotional engagement, ergonomics, and somatic and verbal communication for hands-on play. Through the day, you’ll learn all the basics of impact play, whether you prefer to play using your hands and fists, or using rigid toys such as paddles, canes, tawses, and some truly sadistic home-grown pervertables.

Together, we’ll explore:

1. Negotiation & co-creation for impact play
2. Ergonomics, safety, and communication
3. How to integrate impact play into creative, dynamic scenes
4. How to play with your hands: slapping, hitting, spanking, punching & more!
5. How to play with rigid and semi-rigid impact toys: paddles, tawses, belts, canes, and more!
6. Processing pain and other physical and emotional sensations
7. Basic aftercare and post-scene preparation
8. How to create, plan and manage an impact scene through our capstone make-your-own-scene exercise

Please note that we’ll concentrate on rigid and semi-rigid toys, and we will not address floggers or whips in this class.

You do not need to come with a partner, but you should come prepared to play! In the early part of the day, we’ll try a lot on ourselves. Our afternoon capstone exercise will be a scene where you’ll apply your skills in a hands-on scene with a partner.

PLEASE BRING:

1. A water bottle and any must-have snacks
2. A rigid or semi-rigid toy to practice with, such as a cane, paddle, or strap.
