Classes:

Managing Emergencies
10AM Saturday
Room: Isles

“Managing Emergencies” is a tutorial on how to handle a variety of emergencies that can occur in the dungeon or during play just about anywhere. We will discuss heat/cold related issues, unexpected nerve injuries, burns, bruises and the odd lump & bump. We will also build a “Toy Bag First Aid” kit designed specifically to be left in your toy bag and how to use the contents.

- Toy Bag First Aid Kit
- Managing Panic
- Identifying Emergencies

 

Pressure Points - An Owner's Manual
12PM Saturday
Room: Dungeon Ballroom 2

“Pressure Points - An Owners Manual” is a class which focuses heavily on pressure points and how to utilize them to make the most of your scene. There is a significant amount of time spent covering the anatomy & physiology of pressure points, to prevent injury that may result from poor execution. Throughout the class, there is open discussion on how to best apply each pressure point to a scene.

Teaching Elements:
- Safety considerations and injury prevention
- Hands vs. Tools
- Head-to-toe mapping of pressure points

CandidFire

Pain and pleasure, two sides of the same coin.

CandidFire is deeply familiar with both. As a bottom, she is a sexual processing Masochist. As a top, she is a caring, tender, and formidable Sadist. Her experience as a heavy player on both sides of the slash, provide a unique knowledge to Her kink. With more than a decade in the scene, and five years studying the art of the single tail, the crack of Her whip beckons your soul to dance in unison with Hers.

Allow your desire to guide you through pain, into a state of harmonious bliss. She will educate your senses, tantalize your spirit, and draw out your inner Sadist.

Class:

Topping from the Bottoms Perspective
12PM Saturday
Room: Harriet

Learning to play is a long drawn out process involving purposefully gaining a range of experiences and then spending the time to understand them. Candid Fire has 11 years in the scene, first as a hard bottom and developing into an intense switch. Her experience as a bottom and a slave bring a unique perspective to scening. We will explore the sympathetic relationship built in our scenes from negotiation to aftercare. What is the mutual feed that takes place in a hard scene, how do we recognize triggers in our partners (both good and bad) and how do we build better empathy and communication in our scenes in order to create moments that move our lives.
This will be a discussion class where all are invited to share their experiences and opinions.
Come and join in a conversation about Topping from the Bottoms Perspective.

LeatherRedux

Leather Redux (LR) is just your friendly neighborhood dominant leather lesbian from the 90's. She is probably the most romantic sadist you will ever know. She left kink for quite a bit and came back which is what "redux" means - - a return or rebirth. She has come back to kink and is not turning back.

As part of the leather tradition, service to the community is important to her and she does this by sharing and educating people where she can. If she's not teaching how to use floggers, she is sometimes teaching others about things such as meditation, knife play or fisting. Master Lola Smiles once gave her the moniker of the Mayor of Fist City - - a nickname that has stuck and if the city existed, a city where she rules.

Classes

Aftercare For Everyone -- Yes even for Tops!
7PM Friday
Room: Minnetonka B

This class covers what happens when play ends and the hormone levels try to stabilize afterwards. The imbalance causes "drop" or a feeling of detachment and sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression. This class will teach ways to combat drop through self-care and grounding energy work.

Flogging 201 - Florentine
10AM Saturday
Room: Dungeon Ballroom 2

The focus of this class will be on how to do the Florentine technique or using two floggers at the same time. Floggers have been around since antiquity but how do we use it safely, take care of them, or most importantly, sanitize them in these COVID times? Bring your floggers and be ready to learn how to Florentine together.

Impact + Erotic Kinky Hypnosis = Hella Fun
12PM Saturday
Room: Minnetonka

While this pairing may seem odd to some, impact and hypnosis can create some deep and interesting scenes when combined together. It is not like the movie "Get Out" or some Scooby Doo scenario - - you will not do something that you do not want to. When you consent to a suggestion and add impact to it, the sub space and top space high is deeper and there is more of a connection. If you are curious about this, check out this class to see how these skill sets can be combined for a deeper scene.

Ravenous

Ravenous, a CIS male sadistic Dominant, has been active in the BDSM community for 19 years. Throughout his journey in BDSM he has become known for edgy, rough, & intense play.

Questions during the class and audience participation is always encouraged!

Ramping up the Intensity, Flogging 301
1:30PM Saturday
Room: Dungeon Ballroom 2

This advanced workshop will focus on high intensity flogging techniques. It will begin with a safety lesson focusing on risks involved with intense flogging, negotiations, communication and strike zones. We will then move into open discussion and demonstrations utilizing speed and power to drive high intensity scenes. Edgy techniques such as intentional wrapping and fear play will also be demonstrated and discussed. Open dialog in the form of thoughtful questions are encouraged throughout this class. Time permitting, an opportunity for attendees to explore techniques will be offered. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal floggers and a bottom.

Lazarus

Classes:

...in 60 seconds: Fast, Effective Rope Bondage
10am Saturday
Room: Dungeon Ballroom 3

We will cover 5 knots and techniques that are great for rapid capture.

During the first half we will go over how to tie three variations of my favorite bondage knot--the prusik--and practice several very cool applications. This knot can be used to secure someone inescapably to a bed or bondage frame in less than a minute. A modified version can be used to make belly-chain style rope handcuffs that are very effective in containing eels (people who like to struggle and slip out of rope bondage). I have met many people proudly bearing the "I-can-escape-from-anything" title that had to add "...except that one time" after they had been introduced to this knot. ::wicked grin::

This class will also feature a rope-only device that allows a rope to become tighter but will not allow it to loosen. But it does so in a way that will not cinch down and threaten your sub.

  • Target audience (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

Beginner... Or anyone who doesn't know the prusik knot and some of the cool things that can be done with it.

  • Format (lecture, discussion, demonstration, hands-on)

This is a practical, hands-on session that starts with a demonstration (to get your attention), moves on to a practical lecture and then to a practice session with high involvement by the instructor to ensure that the new skill is cemented in your mind before you leave.

  • What should attendees bring (how much rope, etc.)

You can learn all these skills with 15 feet of any rope you happen to have.

Having said that, while 15 feet is all you actually need, we will be learning to build a tool/toy with this knot and this part of the class requires 30 feet of rope cut into four pieces: two 5-foot pieces and two 10-foot pieces. If you bring your own rope, you can build the tool and add it to your own toy bag!

Inception (A 'Rope Bondage 101' Class)
1:30pm Saturday
Room: Dungeon Ballroom 3

This is a beginning class that discusses all the stuff you need to know when just starting out. Not only will we cover knots, but safety, style (looking cool), negotiation, how to evaluate the skill of a top or bottom, and more.

This is also a hands-on class where you will learn the basic knots. We will go over several non-collapsing (safe) ties to get you started:
The Lark's Head "single-column knot" (good for tieing around one thing: wrist, ankle, waist, thigh, bed post, etc.)
The Somerville Bowline single-column knot
The Lark's Head "double column knot" (good for tieing two things together: wrists together, ankles together, ankle to thigh, person to person, any part of a person to any other thing...)
The Bikini Harness, a simple chest harness

  • Target audience (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

Beginner.

  • Format (lecture, discussion, demonstration, hands-on)

This is a practical, hands-on session that rotates between demonstrations of the creation and application of the knots, step-by-step walk through of the creation of the knots and practice sessions with high involvement by the instructor.

  • What should attendees bring (how much rope, etc.)

You will need two pieces of rope: one shorter (~10-15 foot) and one longer (~30 foot)

7PM Friday

• What is the Lifestyle? Is it different from being poly or kinky?
• What are different websites and apps and how to use them

• What should you think about before you and your partner(s) decide to do this?

Laura Boyle

Laura Boyle is a writer, polyamorist, and educator who has been teaching classes on polyamory, sexuality, boundaries, kink, and the intersection of those on a local level and at conventions since 2018. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory: A Pragmatic Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy. After more than 14 years in consensually non-monogamous relationships, in polycules that have ranged from temporarily closed Vs to constellations whose shapes are increasingly indescribable depending on which relationships folks consider worth including, she loves to share practical information learned from years of fixing her own mistakes and missteps. This, along with a desire to share theoretical information about CNM on a wider scale, led to the foundation of the Ready for Polyamory blog and podcast in 2020.

- Dealing With Jealousy
- Is Non-Monogamy Right for You?

Relationship Anarchy Applied: Play Partnerships
10AM Saturday
Room: Harriet

Lots of monogamous or monogamish people in the kink community allow for play with folks who aren't their partner and then run into emotional turmoil as a result. Applying the theory of relationship anarchy and considering these play partnerships as relationships connected by the Greek "ludus," playful love, we can give people tools to work through conflicts, negativity, & concerns they may have as they and their partners explore play with others. This class will engage in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy style activities as a group and in handouts for folks to take home to reframe negative thinking about moments in partners' play with others and focus on joy points rather than pain points in these relationships, as well as contain some lecture on polyamorous theory.

Beyond the Kitchen Table: Modes and Models of Parallel Polyamory
1:30PM Saturday
Room: Minnetonka

Many polyamorous "authorities" present kitchen-table groups as the holy grail of polyam interactions, and while these relationship styles work well for many people, structures that fall outside that framework can be equally positive and healthy. This class will focus on building parallel relationships, being intentional about your choice of how much to interact with your partners' wider networks and how to openly communicate about:

  • How to be entwined in someone's life but not close with a meta;
  • "Stepping off the relationship escalator"
  • How to negotiate wanting a different level of interaction than a meta does;
  • Balancing D/s concerns with poly concerns;
  • Maximizing personal responsibility and minimizing stress on hinge partners.

Jes

Bare as you dare Yoga

8:00 AM, Saturday morning in the top floor of the Health Center

 

About Jes:

I provide a powerful and balanced flow filled with space and fun. My ultimate goal in a Yoga class is to empower students to discover their own strengths. One of the main focuses behind yoga is to safely explore your body’s ability by gently pushing yourself close to your limit. This powerful statement translates to other areas of our lives as well (I think the Kink community can relate to this!) Through concentrating on our breath, and our connection to ourselves, others in the room and the world at large, we will dive deeper into how our body feels and what it's capable of. A fun and grounding practice, for all!

Root Down Nutrition

Our mission is to live healthy, have fun, be the best weird little human possible, and empower and serve our community in a safe and open space. We provide first and foremost 1:1 coaching on your dietary & nutritional needs to help you reach your goals. We also serve in-house three different options.
