Doors open at 10:30 am

11:00 – 12:30 pm Negotiation as Foreplay

Good pre-scene negotiations help lay the foundation for a wonderful scene. Rushed or inadequate pre-scene negotiations lay the foundation for a disaster. Self-confessed “negotiation fetishist” Jay Wiseman will present a systematic approach to pre-scene negotiation, in-scene communication, and post-scene feedback that is easy to remember, comprehensive, effective, and “keeps the fun in it.”

1:00 – 2:30 pm Slave Positions & Practices

Bottoms, submissives, slaves – call them what you will – are often taught to behave in certain ways by their doms, dommes, masters, mistresses, etc. In this presentation, Jay will draw upon information in his best-selling book “SM 101” to demonstrate a very straight-forward, logical, and easy-to-learn series of postures regarding how submissives might stand, sit, kneel, lay down, and so forth. He will also demonstrate how they might position their arms and legs while in these various positions. Further, he will address issues such as speech discipline, eye contact, and other matters.

There will be a lunch break from 2:30 – 3:30

Munches & Classes & Parties, Oh My! Are you “newish” to our local Kink Community? Maybe you’re a recent transplant to the area? Or maybe you have just started to explore the kink lifestyle? Or maybe you’ve been around forever and you didn’t even know half of these events existed? Come out and learn some of the most fundamental do’s and don’t’s to getting out there and attending public kink events. The goal of this class is to make you feel more comfortable about stepping out and exploring the local scene and hopefully dispel some of your fears about doing so. Our goal is to have as many event organizers and hosts in attendance as possible so that you can be introduced, maybe get vetted if needed, and be able to ask all about their event. There is a slight change in format from last time. Event hosts will have designated areas where they can be found to meet and greet those who attend. Are you into Karaoke, Spanking, CFNM, Poly, Introverted, Bowling, Euchre, etc, etc??? This is the place for you!!! If you wish to participate as an event host please contact TheMtnLioness. So far these folks will be in attendance to pimp their events and vet you and answer any questions you may have.

Protocols & Rituals “Keeping the Train on the Rails”

What makes a Master/slave relationship successful?

There are many classes on Protocols and Rituals, but this one covers the basics and then dives far deeper. In this class, we illustrate why protocols and rituals in the M/s dynamic is not just a way to micromanage, but a way in which to help the relationship blossom into something much greater and of deeper value than role playing. Protocols and rituals are the landmarks along the M/s journey, the pulse-checking that daily reinforces the relationship and serves to remind each member of their position, their obligations, and their integrity.

This class will discuss the specifics of Protocols and Rituals; from developing a manual and devising key phrasing that is tailored to the dynamics of the varieties of M/s relationships, to putting these standards into place, to overcoming self-consciousness –and discovering the “flip” moment when the protocol becomes second nature, to contracts and reviewing of protocols, to enhancing them and ensuring they do not become either stale or routine. We will also cover how these protocols can be done while surrounded by the vanilla world, including underage children (without them being aware), and how protocols can put the “train back on the tracks” when the pressures of the outside world becomes a distraction.

This is not the typical “Protocols” class; this is how to make your M/s relationship into true 24/7 by finding the heart of the M/s relationship, and building its foundation in bedrock.

The Impact of BDSM Play and the Lymphatic System “Know How You Flow”

The lymphatic system is integral to every system of the human body. It provides us with our ability to heal, fight off disease, and balance fluid. Damage to this system can create major health concerns such as lymphedema, autoimmune disorders, and infection. This class teaches a brief overview of the lymphatic system and how it functions, as well as tips on recognizing risk and dysfunction, so that you can assess yourself and/or your bottom and make a risk aware decision in your play. We’ll also be discussing ways to care for your lymphatic system, so that it can maintain a healthy, healing flow. Hands on techniques will be demonstrated as time allows.

Nixa is a New England transplant who has been into BDSM for almost a decade . She thoroughly believes knowledge is power and practices RACK and PRICK in her play. In her professional life Nixa is a Nationally Board Certified and Michigan state licensed massage therapist and internationally certified lymphatic drainage therapist. She’s had the privilege of sharing her passion for the lymph system by speaking at medical conferences and schools regarding the lymphatic system and the benefits of manual lymphatic drainage and she’s very excited to be able to share that knowledge with those in the kink community.
