Screaming in the Woods: How to Hunt
Spring has sprung, the grass is green, so we shall…okay it’s November, but it’s never too early to plan for your next hunt! What the heck is a hunt? Typically, bottoms would be released into an area (think places where screams cannot be heard). They would then be “hunted” and captured by their tops followed by pre-negotiated fun. It’s an adrenaline-inducing thrill and a great way to bond with a group of friends or your partner. During this class, Alain and TiedRed will discuss the elements of a primal hunt, share stories from previous chases, and leave you with the tools to host an event of your own. Curious newbies and experienced folks alike are welcome to join the party!
Antici…Creating Fear in your Play…pation
Fear Play is the spice in the back of our pantry that completely changes any dish. However, it is an ingredient that becomes tricky to use with time and familiarity in a relationship. Balancing your recipe is key. During this lively class, Alain and TiedRed will share the secret to cultivating this special ingredient to completely revamp or elevate your play.

The Art of Consensual Non-Consent
So you don’t have a large white van with spray paint advertising “Free Puppies and Candy”? It’s okay! There are other ways to create a Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) scene with willing oh-so-kinky bottoms. In this class, powerful art and dramatic play work hand-in-hand to demonstrate the full spectrum of play that is CNC. Alain & TiedRed will introduce ways to further darken (or lighten) fantasies, mitigate this very risky play, and how communicate without losing spicy momentum. Guaranteed it will be cheaper and more fun than buying a sketchy van.
Jaded – When Kink loses its Sparkle
Congratulations! You have been actively participating in the kink community for a hot minute and are having a great time. Until suddenly, without warning, participating in the scene does not feel so great. Now what? What do you do when a kink world that you’ve identified with for so long doesn’t feel as shiny? In this class, we’ll take a positive approach to unpacking the part of kink that is not often discussed in the open. There are several strategies we will discuss to recover from significant conflicts like a breakup, friendship going awry, or a consent violation even in such a small community. Whether you are a newbie looking for cautionary tales or working on finding your zest again, this class is for you!
Think like a Predator: Security in Kink
A deep dive into 21st-century stalking, opportunistic consent violations, and how both tops and bottoms can keep themselves as safe as possible.
Kinky Scouting for Education & Vibrant Community Building
An original scouting handbook noted that scouts should know “How to secure a burglar with eight inches of cord.” The skills we learn in both the vanilla and kink world feed each other. Kinky Scouting is no different. Knot tying? Campfire Management (on your bottom’s butt)? Woodworking (to make a new paddle)? This class will discuss various kinds of adult scouting, considerations for starting your troop including potential hurdles, and the lasting value of building a unique community through kinky scouting.
