A deeper dive into the POWER part of power play, for all interested parties (Dom/mes, subs, switches, etc.). What are the benefits of this type of play, what do we need to consider, and how can we help everyone to be more empowered?
Plenty of people are interested in learning how to be a good Dom/me, but it's often assumed that being a good submissive just happens, that there's nothing to learn for that role. I completely disagree!
If we want to explore power play ethically, then all of us, no matter our role, must first take the time to do the "inner work". That includes, amongst other things, looking at where you have blocks, shame, resistance, unmet desires, and the strategies you use to get what you want.
This is why I have created the option for people to join this module of POWER & PRESENCE separately. Maybe you know you're interested purely in the submissive roles, or you already feel confident in your technical ability as a Dom/me. This is an invitation for you to upskill and make your kinky play empowering for all.
** This course is also offered as a module within the POWER & PRESENCE course**
The course
This is a live online course taking place via Zoom over three 2 hour sessions. There is also an option to attend an in-person gathering in Salford, Greater Manchester on Sunday 29th September.
This course aims to consciously explore the many ways in which POWER shows up in kink, beyond the obvious power dynamics and regardless of the role we are looking to step into.
This course is suitable for those who are new to kink in general, or those who may have some experience but who wish to learn how to engage in kink responsibly.
Some of the topics covered include:
-
What is power?
-
Different types of power - visible and invisible to us
-
What happens when we reject power?
-
What we do instead
-
The purpose and benefits of a power differential
-
The myths of dominance
-
Empowered submissiveness (for subs, switches, AND Dom/mes)
There will be some OPTIONAL homework between classes for those of you who wish to dive deeper into the practices and reflective work.
This course is the outcome of two decades on my own journey around this, from people pleaser to Professional Dominant, AND from working with hundreds of people as they consciously explore kink.
I share openly about my own personal (good, bad, and ugly) experiences with power, how my non-kinky parts of life have influenced me greatly, and the challenges of this work that nobody told me about.
The focus of my teaching is on creating a space for us to experiment and have embodied experiences of power.
My work is influenced by the Wheel of Consent, the Right Use of Power, conscious kink, Jungian psychology, some aspects of Sexological Bodywork, the DeVinery Method, and many skills that I've been taught and have gone on to develop such as verbal domination.
