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”
(Joseph Campbell)

Empowering Kink
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, all of us, no matter our role, must first take the time to do the "inner work". That includes, amongst other things, looking at our existing relationship with power in the "real world", and the strategies you use to get what you want.
This course invites us to consider how we can all be more empowered through kink.
Starting Thursday 12th September, Online
POWER & PRESENCE
Do you want to feel more comfortable in your power, more confident being in charge, and better able to adapt your state to what's unfolding in front of you?
POWER & PRESENCE is an embodiment-focused training course for people interested in exploring Empowering Kink and Ethical Dominance.
We'll explore our relationship with power, how to think and speak as a Dominant, and how to create impactful scenes.

The Kinky Classroom: Practice & Play
A special offering from The Kinky Classroom for those who have completed the Getting into Ethical Kink course or equivalent work/training.
Connect with your peers in person, practice using some of the skills and tools we've shared, and play (if you feel called to!). There will be connection games, demonstrations from the team, practical exercises, space to socialise or play, and a chance for you to step into the spotlight if you feel called to so that we can all be inspired and reflect on what elements make a scene powerful.

Kinky Peers
A Mentoring Group for people exploring ethical kink who feel they would benefit from additional support, accountability, and knowledge sharing. It's predominantly geared towards those who have already completed a course from The Kinky Classroom but is also open to others who feel they’d benefit from being in a held group space with a mentor!
Bring your questions, curiosities, experiences, concerns, and requests for support. It will be a space for you to reflect, to identify where you might have blind spots, and to continue your learning.
Part of a series (September, October, and December)

Maybe our last one for the year (who knows...?)
Yes, we are back for more clothing-optional, sober, sweaty QUEER JOY, with DJ Luke Fox on the decks.
