Rituals and their effectiveness directly interact with unconscious realms. Are you participating in rituals without the conscious awareness of it? Recognizing our rituals in life, past, present, and future, helps us prevail. Blood rituals have been used for centuries. It is the liquid essence of life. What place do they, or can they, hold in a Power Exchange relationship? The slow tingle and wet feeling of blood dripping down the skin is intoxicating when combined with the understanding it is being used to bind you closer. Using blood (from both sides of the slash) as a manifestation of our devotion can strengthen and deepen our relationships. This class is geared towards all, not just Blood enthusiasts.

We dive into the world of making punishments have meaning, create learning, and become purposeful. We also talk about avoiding damage with punishments.

We also will cover different types of ponies, basic rein commands, and different commands to control a pony other than reins or verbal, and how these vary between each trainer and pony depending on their connection with each other.

One of the goals of talking about BDSM, both between ourselves and with others, is to demystify D&s and M/s relationships. Sometimes it isn’t just people outside of BDSM who don’t understand it, but also many of us on the inside don’t always appreciate the scope and possibilities of BDSM. In this workshop, we will discuss the questions, “Should BDSM have a less hidden and better understood place in society? Are there parallels between how BDSM is viewed by the wider community now and how the LGBT community was viewed many years ago?” These and other questions will be discussed as food for thought.
