Desire Vs Risk: Exploring Fantasies, Stakes, and What You Really Want

Desire Vs Risk: Exploring Fantasies, Stakes, and What You Really Want with Wiley Wolfe

A live + recorded online class from the Wolfe Academy of Desire

7/19 6pm Eastern

How do we identify not only what kinks we want to try, but also whether we can actually handle the real-world risks that might come with them?

In this 3-hour online intensive, you'll complete a Desire Assessment to uncover what you desire and unpack where it comes from, a Risk Assessment to identify what is and is not in your risk profile, and put it all together into a Stoplight Chart so that you can clearly communicate your interets, boundaries, and safety needs the next time you're ready to play.

The intensive will be in parts with short breaks in between, complete with an interactive exercise workbook to follow along and opportunities for discussion - perfect for both new and experienced players.

We Will Cover:

Part 1: Desire Assessment

• The "why" and "what" of Desire Assessments
• Looking inward to understand desire
• Unpacking the roots of desire through introspective and somatic frameworks
• Addressing shame and how it relates to desire
• Naming and how to talk about what we desire

Part 2: Risk Assessment

• The "why" and "what" of risk and Risk Assessments, along with political implications
• Risk attitude definitions
• Identifying activity risks, risk levels, and personal non-negotiables
• Risk management practices and implementation

Part 3: Put It All Together

• Putting your Desire and Risk Assessments together into a Stoplight Chart of kinks for future play negotiation and communication

Ticket FAQ:

What's your refund policy?

Refunds are issued up to 24 hours before the workshop. Missed workshops will not be refunded.

I'm not in Canada but I see your tickets are in CAD. Can I still buy them?

Yes! Anyone from any country can buy a ticket. If you're in a country with a stronger dollar (like US, UK, and Europe), these tickets actually will be cheaper for you with the exchange rate - even after any foreign transaction fees from your bank. Just buy as normal!

My card got declined. What happened?

To Troubleshoot:

• Make sure your billing info is correct
• Check if your bank sent you a "suspicious charge" message to approve (if it did, just approve it and try again)
• Turn off Apply Pay "Hide My Email" (this can sometimes cause rejections)
• Try an alternate payment method like PayPal
• Message if you're still having issues!
