SUMMARY:Don't Burn It Down! Accommodating Change in your Power Dynamic
DESCRIPTION:Power exchange dynamics are often modeled to us in erotic fiction and we get the erroneous impression that these relationships just “happen” and that they “were meant to be” and “will never change.” Every part of this is wrong. These assumptions diminish much of the adventure\, the changes\, and the work that go into the making of a powerful dynamic. People grow and change because of their relationships and the dynamic itself needs to shift to accommodate. In a world of ‘burn it to the ground’ if it doesn’t work culture\, I’m here to offer other perspectives and paths towards growing and developing a power exchange relationship. \nCoral’s Bio: \nCoral is a force of nature! As a result of that condition\, interesting things frequently occur in her general vicinity. She finds the world completely fascinating\, from kisses to fleshhooks\, boots to hats\, arguments to introspection\, science to magic\, all sorts of humans\, and chocolate to… things that are not chocolate. Always in pursuit of knowledge and sharing a good story\, she can be found talking to just about anyone. You might be next! \nCoral is an international multi-media artist\, multi-discipline storyteller\, and educator. She specializes in collaboration\, political and social art\, and adornment focusing on identity and change. In the Kink/Leather/ Sex communities she is a dominant sadomasochistic switch\, an owner\, Ordeal Path worker\, body pride advocate\, model\, educator\, mentor\, activist\, and former titleholder (Ms Oregon State Leather 2007.) Follow her at www.coralmallow.com \nEvent notes: This is a ticketed and paid event and you must sign up through Eventbrite. The Zoom link will be sent via email confirmation. Free tickets are available for emergency service and key workers\, and those who have experienced financial hardship. Concession rates are available for those on low income\, students and OAPs etc. Here is a link to the Eventbrite page. There is no expectation of participation\, either audio or video.

SUMMARY:Domestic Service Submission Beyond Basics - The Heart of Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:This will be an online event via Zoom. Zoom information will be sent to all participants after ticket purchase. Please register your ticket with the name you intend to use on Zoom as only verified ticket holders will be welcomed into the Zoom presentation. \nBeyond the basics of service\, we will be discussing four important actions in regards to service: \n\nOffering Service\nAccepting Service\nRequesting Service\nDeclining Service\n\n– all of which are the basis for negotiation or negotiating a service scene. Have you ever been offered a service\, and wasn’t certain of the proper way to just say “No”? Has a service ever been requested of you\, and you worried about refusing? \nAs a participant\, regardless of which side of the slash you may reside (or having no position choice at all)\, you will walk away with some tips\, tricks\, and tools for your virtual toolbox\, to competently recognize and handle each of these scenarios. \nWhether you are a D-type (let’s not forget\, service Topping is a very valid thing too) or an s-type\, so long as you have a passion for service\, or at least a mild curiosity\, this is indeed a workshop/talk/presentation for you. \nPart of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to The Alternative – Ottawa’s foremost store for all your power exchange lifestyle requirements. Sliding fee scale available – please message organizer – no one turned away due to lack of funds – no shame or judgement.

SUMMARY:Don't Say No to Me! An Online seminar explores how to maintain a D/s dynamic
DESCRIPTION:GlasgowDoes is pleased to bring you the high-quality kink education you’ve come to expect from us\, but now on Zoom! We’re proud to welcome back two of our favourite instructors for our first online seminar\, Will Hunt and Redridingbrat. \nThis fascinating talk\, led by Will Hunt and Redridingbrat\, explores how to maintain a D/s dynamic while consistently learning from each other. They will discuss how their rules around language and behaviour facilitate their communication rather than impede it\, even when she’s not allowed to say “no.”. \nWith the goal of enhancing our play\, we shall learn how responsibility is shared by both the Top and the bottom\, how we can avoid the pitfalls of thinking we know more than we do\, and how to be more effective no matter your role within a D/s dynamic. \nWill Hunt is a UK based kink educator and performer. He lectures across Europe and is a monthly contributor to https://www.kinkweekly.com/author/will-hunt/ \nRedridingbrat is a kink model\, educator and event organiser. When not teaching and performing throughout the UK\, she runs the UK’s largest rope conference\, UKREX. \nThis workshop is being facilitated through Zoom and the login details will be included with your purchase confirmation email. We ask that you don’t distribute the login details. \nFree tickets are available for emergency services\, key workers\, and those who have been made redundant due to Covid-19. If you fall into any of these categories then please select the free ticket option. The other tiers of tickets will be £3 and £5. The £3 rate is for low income individuals\, concessions\, students and people who are under financial stress. The £5 option is for those without any of the previously mentioned issues. \nEventbrite may also take a small fee for handling and administration. The exact figure will be made clear before the ticket is purchased. \nWhen joining please put your chosen pronouns and how you would like to be referred to during the seminar should you need to ask a question. \nThis event is being hosted on Zoom\, the meeting ID and password will be sent to you on completion of your order.

SUMMARY:Domestic Service Submission Beyond Basics - Skill Set
DESCRIPTION:Five Solid Skills For Your Service Toolchest \nThis will be an online event via Zoom. Zoom information will be sent to all participants after ticket purchase. To participate\, you will need download the free\, basic version of the Zoom app before the event. Please register your ticket with the name you intend to use on Zoom as only verified ticket holders will be welcomed into the Zoom presentation. \nIf service is something you might enjoy\, or rather have thought about starting your journey into\, but you don’t know where to start\, this might just be the presentation for you! While each person is particular about the type of service he/she/they enjoy\, it would stand a service submissive in good stead to have a few basic skills under his/her/their belt. Having a few skills that you can hone\, and possibly demonstrate in an appropriate way/setting\, can have you hitting the ground running when an opportunity arises. We will talk about such skills as: \n– Table Service \n– Massage \n– Chauffeur \n– Ablution \n– Companionship \nWith these basic skill sets in your toolbox\, you will have a good start on your service path\, and something to show on your service CV. This talk is geared mainly towards service submissives looking to gain a leg up\, but anyone and everyone who has a passion or even just a curiosity for/about service is welcome. \nPlease note\, you must purchase a ticket to be given the Zoom information – RSVPing to the event will not guarantee you a spot. \n*Part of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to The Alternative – Ottawa’s foremost store for all your power exchange lifestyle requirements. Sliding fee scale available – please message organizer – no one turned away due to lack of funds – no shame or judgement.
