Are you curious about kink? Maybe you've seen or heard about some things that pique your interest but don't know where to start. Perhaps it all just feels a little bit too intimidating. This course has been designed with you in mind!
I believe that kink has so much to offer us - as a way to get to know ourselves better, develop new (hugely transferable) skills, connect with people, and PLAY - and yet, I think the very nature of it can make it all seem a bit daunting. It can be a BIG leap to go from reading about something online to rocking up at a dungeon or k.nk party.
This course brings together some of the most critical pieces of information and tools that I would pass on to someone looking to dip a toe into this world (and wish I could go back and share with my younger self!).
** This foundational course is also the starting point for POWER & PRESENCE, a deeper-dive programme into Ethical Dominance. It can be taken as a standalone course though if dominance isn't your thing, and may be a requirement for attending some Pleasure Rebels events **
The course
This is a live, online course taking place via Zoom over three 3-hour sessions.
This course aims to provide an introduction to Ethical Kink 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. The focus is on soft skills rather than technical skills.
Some of the topics covered include:
-
What is kink (and what can it be)?
-
How can kink be good for me?!
-
How do we make kink ethical?
-
Consent, negotiation, and communication as fundamental skills
-
An introduction to playing with power
-
Aftercare - what and why?
-
Where to go from here and what to look out for
There will be some OPTIONAL homework between classes for those of you who wish to dive deeper into the practices and reflective work.
The Schedule
This is our first daytime edition of the course. Same content that has been tested and refined for years, just delivered over three longer morning sessions vs. five evenings. Because, after years of teaching (and recently becoming a parent), I've realised that not everyone is at their best at 7 pm! So, whether you're self-employed or freelance, work unusual hours, have little ones yourself, are in a different time zone, or simply like to keep your evenings free for other things, this daytime edition of the course offers a way for you to join in.
Our online classes for this daytime edition will take place 1.30 - 4.30 pm (UK time) on the following dates:
Wednesday 11th November
Wednesday 18th November
Wednesday 25th November
We will meet via Zoom. Sessions will be recorded and made available to view for 2 weeks after the class date, should you have to miss any of the live classes.
There will also be an option to add-on extra one-to-one sessions with me online or in-person at a discounted rate during the course.
