Events, workshops, and programmes
Here is where you'll find all of the gatherings and group learning opportunities that I am either running or otherwise involved in.
I aim to create spaces that are CELEBRATING of people who, like me, are aiming to thrive outside of one or more societal "norms", whether that's in your gender identity or expression, sexuality, relating style, kinkiness, or something else.
Some of the events I facilitate or assist with are specifically for folks who identify as queer and/or trans, and these will be labelled as such.
As with my private sessions, my group work is heavily rooted in embodiment as a source of self-knowledge.
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive”

Tying with Intention: Predicament Bondage
In this intermediate-level Shibari class, we will be looking at Predicaments, which are all about bringing an element of challenge, difficulty, embarrassment, or unpleasantness into a scene. This can be really powerful for people of a sadomasochistic leaning, and as a way to build intimacy and trust between partners.
This class is part of a new course from The Kinky Classroom, in which you will learn how to translate your intentions into meaningful actions to create deeper experiences. Classes can be joined individually.

Tying with Intention: Tying for Surrender
In this intermediate-level class, we will be focusing on an often underexplored possibility with Shibari - its potential to bring about a deeply relaxing, almost meditative state for the rope bottom.
We will be exploring ways of creating a scene and particular ties that may lend themselves to these experiences for people who wish to have a more peaceful route to surrender and relinquishing control.
This class is part of a new course from The Kinky Classroom, in which you will learn how to translate your intentions into meaningful actions to create deeper experiences. Classes can be joined individually.
