Love, Lies, and Red Flags - Recognizing manipulation where it masquerades as love
Sunday June 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Have you ever fallen for someone who seemed perfect, only to discover the relationship was built on manipulation and control? In this powerful class, I share what I’ve learned from navigating a toxic, abusive relationship-tracking the early charm, subtle control, and deep emotional manipulation that can trap someone for years.


This session goes beyond naming red flags. You’ll explore how manipulation can feel loving or protective, how emotional abuse can masquerade as care, and how to recognize warning signs even when they’re subtle or disguised as affection. Through my personal story, we’ll uncover the patterns that keep people trapped and examine the emotional, mental, and physical impact of long-term manipulation.


This class is not about shame or blame-it’s about understanding, healing, and empowerment. You’ll learn to identify early warning signs, recognize cycles of abuse, and understand why red flags can feel seductive or “normal.” We’ll also focus on reclaiming your voice, boundaries, and confidence, and transforming painful lessons into strength and self-awareness.


Whether you’re in a challenging relationship, supporting someone who is, or want to protect yourself in the future, this class offers insight, practical tools, and hope for breaking free and building healthier dynamics.

Kink as Self-Care: When to Lean In, When to Step Back
Sunday June 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm CDT
This interactive workshop explores the intersection of self-care and kink/BDSM, providing attendees with practical tools and insights to engage in play mindfully and responsibly. While kink offers unique opportunities for empowerment, emotional release, and connection, it can also be misused as avoidance or lead to burnout. This session equips participants to recognize both the benefits and limits of kink as a form of self-care.


The first part offers structured guidance on:
  • How kink can support emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
  • Identifying when kink is a positive outlet versus when it may be counterproductive.
  • Using negotiation, consent, and aftercare as integral self-care practices.
The second part is devoted to guided discussion, encouraging participants to reflect on personal experiences, boundaries, and strategies. Through structured prompts in a confidential, judgment-free environment, attendees share insights and learn from each other, enhancing their understanding of healthy engagement in kink.


By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will leave with actionable strategies to integrate kink into their self-care routines, recognize when to step back, and build resilience through complementary practices. Designed for attendees of all experience levels and identities, this session emphasizes inclusivity, safety, and community support, making it a highly relevant and practical addition to any kink-focused conference program.

Prostate massage and safety
Sunday June 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm CDT
This class provides a clear, approachable introduction to prostate massage for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of anatomy, technique, and hands-on confidence. Designed for all experience levels, we’ll focus on building a strong foundation rooted in communication, safety, and respect.


We’ll begin with an overview of prostate anatomy and physiology—what it is, where it is, and how it responds to different forms of stimulation. From there, we’ll explore a variety of internal and external techniques, pressure styles, body positioning, and pacing methods that support comfort and pleasure. Emphasis is placed on understanding how different bodies respond, how to read feedback, and how to create trust throughout the experience.


Safety and hygiene are central to this class. We’ll cover glove use, lubricant types, preparation steps, contraindications, aftercare, and how to avoid common mistakes. Students will also learn how to discuss boundaries, expectations, and consent in a grounded, confident way so the experience remains safe and positive for all involved.


Whether you’re new to prostate play or looking to refine your skills, this session offers practical guidance, supportive discussion, and a judgment-free environment to learn in. No explicit demonstrations are included; the focus is on education, technique, and empowering participants to approach the subject with clarity, care, and confidence.
