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.

Negotiating Consensual Non-Consent (CNC)
Sunday June 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm CDT
Consensual Non-Consent, or CNC is an oft brought up practice, but rarely is the matter thoroughly discussed nor the potential concerns with this type of negotiation clearly identified.


We will discuss the mentalities at play with CNC, strategies for these types of negotiations, potential pitfalls, and we will have a robust Q&A Session.


This class will provide tips & suggestions for the Doms & Tops taking the lead in these negotiations, however bottoms & subs are strongly encouraged to attend!


Negotiate with equal power, especially when it comes to CNC.

Primal Play 301 — Flow, Resistance & Scene Integration
Sunday June 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm CDT
Primal Play 301 is an advanced, theory-driven class focused on integrating primal energy into cohesive scenes with movement, resistance, and emotional depth. This level explores timing, flow, opportunity recognition, and responsible escalation — all from an instructional perspective.

Using in-depth breakdowns and demonstrations, the class examines how negotiation, grappling concepts, controlled submissions, and aftercare come together in full primal scenes. Emotional safety, accountability, and aftercare mastery are core themes.
