Bash 2026

This workshop explores the intersection of kink and autism, co-led by a neurotypical facilitator and an autistic co-facilitator. Together, they blend professional knowledge and lived experience to create a space that is both educational and affirming.


The session begins with grounding agreements and an overview of how autism shapes sensory processing, communication, and social interaction. Participants will learn why kink can be especially meaningful for autistic individuals — from the comfort of clear rules and structure to the richness of sensory play.


We then address challenges, including sensory overstimulation, triggers, meltdowns, and shutdowns. Strategies for support are shared, such as negotiation styles, non-verbal safewords, overstimulation “emergency plans,” and tailored aftercare. Attendees will participate in small group activities to practice designing coping strategies that respect neurodiverse needs.


The workshop also celebrates autistic strengths in kink — deep focus, creativity, passion for ritual, and honesty in communication. Participants will be invited to recognize these traits as superpowers, not deficits.

Finally, we bridge neurotypical and autistic communication styles, offering practical techniques to foster respect and connection. Through roleplay exercises, attendees will practice adapting negotiation and scene planning for clarity and accessibility.

Explore rope beyond traditional harnesses and placements. Demo and discussion based 101 on all the fun weird places you can put rope. Face, crotch, hands and feet safety considerations with ideas for how to use to increase connection, vulnerability, and sensations while adding a fun twist to your rope play.

Consent a simple concept, right - get permission to do something to someone, give permission to someone to do something. Ok you got the yes, now what? Let's talk about and consider what comes with the yes. Consent has layers and encompasses more than just a play scene when you're in a dynamic.

Bootblacking doesn’t have to stop at licking boots — and sitting in the stand can be so much more than passively enjoying attention on your leathers. In this class, we’ll explore ways to turn bootblacking into a deeply erotic, interactive experience.

From seductive techniques that coax out an irresistible shine to playful, distracting, and intimate methods of washing and conditioning leather garments, this class dives into how to blend kink, service, and sexual energy seamlessly.
Whether you’re a bootblack looking to spice up your craft or a bottom who loves the ritual of the stand, you’ll learn creative ways to bring heat, flirtation, and power exchange into every step of the process.

Sex is not a requirement of being in a dynamic, unfortunately that is often misunderstood as are those who are in sexless dynamics. Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. Discussing the different circumstances and/or preferences people may have that lead them to be in asexual dynamics and what these dynamics may look like.

In this class, we’re unlocking the full potential of your toy bag by thinking outside the (toy) box. We’ll explore unexpected ways to use kink toys you may already have, discover new and exciting combinations, and embrace the sheer joy of playful innovation. Whether it’s repurposing, reimagining, or just getting delightfully weird with what you already have, we’re here to prove that creativity is the best toy of all.

Negotiation is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of kink and BDSM. It’s how we transform curiosity into consent, boundaries into creativity, and risk into connection. This interactive workshop explores how negotiation can be practical, playful, and deeply sexy.


To start, we’ll focus on teaching core skills for scene negotiation. Topics include the difference between inclusive vs. exclusive negotiation, making negotiation engaging instead of clinical, and understanding when to ask for a spotter or dungeon monitor. Participants will gain tools to structure conversations, identify boundaries, and express desires clearly and confidently.


Following will be an open discussion. We’ll unpack real-life challenges and successes, ask how negotiation styles shift across dynamics, and consider how cultural backgrounds, experience levels, and play styles shape consent conversations. This section gives space for participants to reflect, share, and learn from one another.


Finally, the most exciting part will bring it all to life through improv negotiation exercises. Volunteers will practice short negotiation scenarios, with the group offering feedback and reflection after each. Prompts will range from playful banter to high-stakes discussions, giving everyone a chance to see how negotiation looks and feels in action.


Whether you’re brand new to the scene or an experienced player looking to refresh your skills, this class is for you!

Let’s build a marionette with some staples, string, a hard point, and a live puppet! In this class we’ll talk about staple play from the negotiations to safety precautions and cleanup, energy transference and how to manipulate your puppet through the act of puppeteering.

This class is designed for new and emerging tops who find themselves caught between desire and guilt. If you’ve ever felt a knot in your chest when a bottom asks for more, or noticed yourself apologizing for enjoying power, this space is for you.

We explore how social conditioning around kindness, harm, and responsibility can quietly undermine confidence in consensual dominance. Rather than treating guilt as something to push through, the class examines where it comes from and how to gently dismantle it. Topping is reframed not as taking, but as responding to trust, clarity, and invitation.
Through guided discussion and reflective exercises, attendees will practice hearing requests as gifts instead of accusations, and pleasure as ethical rather than suspect. We talk about the difference between harm and intensity, cruelty and care, selfishness and mutual satisfaction. Language, mindset, and internal narratives all get a careful tune-up.

This is not a performance class and not about learning techniques. It’s about learning to stand comfortably in your role, to feel your enjoyment without shame, and to understand that wanting what your bottom wants can be an act of generosity.

Come curious, a little nervous, or quietly conflicted. Leave with a steadier center, clearer self-trust, and permission to want what you consensually give.
