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!

Fear Play is the spice in the back of our pantry that completely changes any dish. However, it’s an ingredient that becomes tricky to use with time and familiarity in a relationship. Balancing your recipe is key. 

During this class, Alain and TiedRed will share the secret to cultivating this special ingredient to completely revamp or elevate your current play.

Consensual Non-Consent play is getting increasingly more popular and less taboo in the kink community. This class dives into what CNC means, why we like it, how we struggle with actually making it happen, the various types of CNC play, and how to safely get started with it.

Bondage with rope may feel inaccessible or unpalatable for many reasons.  ADHD makes it hard to remember basic ties.  We learn a pattern and forget it shortly after.  Trying to figure out or follow patterns is too frustrating.  We get bored or tired while tying or being tied because it takes too long.  This class aims to make bondage fun, to make a few fundamental ties sticky through repetition and muscle memory, and to explore just how many things we can now do just by sprinkling in some imagination.

A deep dive into 21st century stalking, opportunistic consent violations, and how both tops and bottoms can keep themselves as safe as possible.

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.

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!
