Strike and Submit: A Hands-On Caning Workshop
Thursday June 18, 2026 6:00pm - 7:30pm CDT
Dive into the art of caning with a class designed to elevate both technique and connection. In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore the nuances of using the cane as a tool for sensation, power exchange, and psychological intensity. From mastering different strokes and understanding thud vs. sting, to reading your partner’s responses and refining timing, this class covers everything you need to deliver and receive caning safely and effectively.



We’ll discuss:
  1. Types of canes - natural and synthetic, their unique characteristics, and how to select what works for you.
  2. Techniques for precision, control, and building anticipation, including hand, wrist, and elbow mechanics.
  3. How to read physical and emotional cues to keep your scenes safe, intense, and enjoyable.
  4. Practical considerations: positioning, aiming, body mechanics, and aftercare essentials.
  5. Safety, hygiene, and risk awareness, so you can explore intense sensations responsibly.


This class includes a demonstration and guided discussion, emphasizing observation, awareness, and the experiential learning needed to refine your craft. Participants are encouraged to bring a partner along with one stiff cane and one flexible cane.


Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner looking to hone your skills or a curious newcomer ready to explore, you’ll leave with confidence, knowledge, and the tools to make caning an artful, connected, and thrilling part of your play.

Say You're Pretty, Dammit
Thursday June 18, 2026 8:00pm - 9:30pm CDT
Ever call yourself stupid, fat, or ugly? What if every time you did, someone made you stop and apologize to yourself and then follow it up with a compliment? Welcome to the wonderfully humiliating, oddly healing world of forced self-love.

This class explores how kink, accountability, and a little bit of sass can be used to break the cycle of negative self-talk. We’ll dig into what happened when a notoriously self-deprecating submissive was required to compliment himself every time he insulted… himself. Along the way, we’ll touch on the psychology behind it (think Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other sneaky tools you already have in your pocket), laugh at the awkwardness, and maybe even learn to say something nice in the mirror without cringing.

**We do encourage group involvement but it is not mandatory**

Cellular Carnage
Friday June 19, 2026 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Curious about branding but can't have an open flame? Perhaps you have an insatiable appetite for witnessing a bottom’s sacrifice? (Okay, maybe that sounded a bit too intense...)

Cell-popping is a modern evolution of the ancient practice of body scarification. In this class, we’ll dive into the basics, covering safety essentials, and then give you the chance to experience it firsthand. Whether you're here for a hands-on session (we will have around 10-15 tips) or just want to watch the art unfold, we've got you covered.

Come ready to learn, explore, and perhaps embrace a little controlled chaos. After all, what's life without a little pop?

Interrogation
Friday June 19, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT
We will cover negotiation, setup, staging, and cooldown after the scene.  Interrogations as a form of play can be difficult inside the community since physical intimidation can be a reward, and potentially an incentive to resist.  


Working with the headspace of the target is the key to a successful scene.

Bear-ing Your Claws

Knife play straddles the line between danger and intimacy and that razor’s edge is exactly why it’s so powerful. This class sharpens your skills on the safety and artistry of blade play, from the primal thrill of sensation to the showmanship of intimidation and even blood work. With equal parts dark humor and serious safety, we’ll claw through negotiation, bare our favorite techniques, and maul over the aftercare that keeps partners safe long after the scene ends.

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.

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.

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.
