West 14th St Exact address emailed upon registration

OVERVIEW

This workshop teaches techniques for practicing dominance/submission or D/s partnered play. It is open to both singles and pairs. Explorations will include concepts and techniques from various martial arts, partner dancing, massage, and neurolinguistic programming, all expertly combined into a system of sensual dominance.

MORE INFO

Have you ever wanted to move your partner according to your will but felt you didn't have the strength or technique?

Do you associate control with strength or aggression?

Do you crave the thrill of having someone follow your slightest suggestions until they are pinned and exposed, waiting on your pleasure... and for theirs?

Control comes either from strength... or from safety.

In this hands-on workshop, we will be learning how to control someone's movements, balance, and body through assertive yet gentle touch and neurological cheat codes that put the recipient's nervous system at ease and into a place where they WANT to follow your lead.

We will then dive into how to add a bit of zing with pressure points and how to restrain someone on the ground without relying on strength or weight, leaving you free to explore them at your leisure.

Note: This system is designed to work with someone who already feels safe and wants to enter into this space with you, NOT to assert control against unwilling resistance.

Dress Code

We recommend everyone wear loose, comfortable clothing that can easily expose skin. Guests may undress down to their level of comfort, but concealing underwear must stay on at all times. We also recommend bringing a robe or a blanket to wrap yourself in for emotional and physical comfort. Yoga mats are welcome for cushioning as well.

Do I Need a Partner?

You don't need a partner for this workshop. There will be plenty of opportunities to work with different people, or to stay with a partner you came with. Nothing in this workshop is erotic or s*xual.
