ABOUT THIS EVENT:

THIS ONLINE DISCUSSION WILL EXPLORE WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR BODIES, BRAINS, AND NERVOUS SYSTEMS DURING KINK AND PAIN PLAY. We will open space for dialog that encourages prioritizing safety- physically, mentally, and emotionally - and overview ways to manage drop, frenzy, and harm as individuals and within your kink connections.

The Melanated Kink: TAKING UP SPACE series is a dedicated space for BIPOC people. You can attend one or multiple events.

ABOUT THE MELANATED KINK TAKING UP SPACE SERIES

This series will have 4 in person workshops in San Diego and 4 online discussions held from April through May. In person workshops will run 3 hours and online discussion will last 1 hour. Our intention with this series is to connect BIPOC people to one another, their body-centered expressions, resources, education, and a closed container space that will empower them to find, express, and explore kink within community. While guests may choose to join a single session or select multiple, we encourage joining us for the entire series, and co-creating a space that can grow to feel richer, safer, and more connective for everyone involved. The offerings are created to stand powerfully on their own so you will have the opportunity to benefit from joining us in whatever way best aligns for you.

Online discussions:

Each discussion allows space for all registered participants to join us live and will be held online through our Zoom Sanctuary. The room will open 5 minutes before the start time and the door will close 5 minutes after the start time so those who’d like to take up space with us live will need to sign on before the room closes. We will spend the first 30 minutes sharing information on the discussion topic and the recording will be sent to the email of all participants who purchase a ticket within 72 hours. The final 30 minutes will be undocumented and will be space for open dialog about that week’s topic. The number of participants will determine the discussion format and it may be in one large room or in break out rooms and can vary week to week. Link to access live discussion will be sent with your ticket confirmation.
