The Art of Switching with Shedao (Online)

In this class we will discuss how to identify your own unique needs, desires, and limits as a switch, and how to build the best switching relationship for you and your partner(s). We will cover negotiation basics, safety considerations, and managing headspaces. This will be a 90-minute discussion that will include active engagement from the audience about their personal experience and a Q&A to answer any unique and nuanced questions.

The class will be held on Zoom. The waiting room opens 15 minutes early at 6:45PM. Instruction begins at 7PM.
