Class by Master Leather Redux and raea:
Body Mechanics: Live Long and Play Harder
Type: Class & Workshop, wear comfortable clothes
Day/Time/Room: TBD
Repetitive motion from impact play can take a toll on the body, but it doesn’t have to. Together in this class we will focus on techniques and best practices for longevity for Tops and bottoms. We will also cover exercises and stretches that can be implemented before and after play to avoid injury. When you apply body mechanics to your play, you will find you can play longer, harder, and you will never hear someone say, “Is that all you got?”.
Class by Master Leather Redux and raea:
I’M FINE…… but really I’m not. Let’s Get Radical About the Truth
Type: Class
Day/Time/Room: TBD
Being open and honest is essential in a power exchange dynamic, but sometimes it’s easier to say “I’m fine” rather than sharing what may be upsetting you. But little white lies have a way of growing into resentment and frustration. How do we foster vulnerability and forgiveness to have the difficult conversations that help us grow in our dynamics?
This class will discuss skills and practices that help encourage honesty at all times through the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness. Master Leather Redux and Raea will share both their personal challenges and successes with radical honesty and forgiveness. Additionally, they will share how the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness helps to heal older wounds around shame and guilt that may be getting in the way of alignment in our dynamics.

Florentine Whips
Type: Class & Workshop
Student requirements:
Eye protection such as goggles or protective glasses, a hat such a baseball cap, a matched pair of whips (e.g. signal, snake or mini bullwhip) no longer than 4 feet or dragon tails or tongues, intermediate level understanding of Florentine also required
Day/Time/Room: TBD
This class focuses on doing the Florentine movement while utilizing two whips.
We will go over the basic Florentine such as the 4 beat weave.
For those who have mastered that, we will go over the 6 beat weave.
The Florentine movement can color and change the texture of a scene due the various sensations it often provides.
There will also be exercises to help improve the aim and accuracy of each hit.
