Kink did not begin in modern dungeons—it has deep, ancient roots woven into the ceremonies, traditions, and spiritual practices of cultures across the world. Join us for Decolonized Kink, a lecture and guided discussion exploring the origins and practices of kink within indigenous societies and world religions.

Together, we’ll look at how elements such as ritual pain, ecstatic states, power exchange, and ceremonial adornment have long been embraced as paths to connection, transcendence, and community. This event invites us to reframe kink not only as play, but as a continuation of practices that carry sacred, cultural, and ancestral meaning.

Following the class for beginner-to-suspension education on being tied - join us for an open practice and suspension lab space to go over concepts in action! You may also simply join this great space with our traveling artist and educator to engage in your own practice even if you do not attend the class. You may buy tickets seperately or as a bundle.

This class is a beginner-to-suspension class about being tied. Do you have experience with floorwork and partials but have never been suspended? Or do you have experience with suspension and want more safety knowledge or tips from other bottoms? We will go over some basic steps for you to consider for your subsequent suspension. This class is a Demo and open discussion so that you won’t need a top, but tops and bottoms are welcome to attend.

Sip + Draw: Life Drawing Meets Wine Tasting

Part of our Core Curriculum and the second part of our “Floor Series”! In this class, we will review the foundations and soft skills before diving into getting rope around the body, restricting movement, and moving the body around on the floor. This is designed to deepen your understanding of how to effectively wrap and attach body parts using rope. We will explore the nuances of moving a person who is tied, because they usually can’t move themselves! We will also go over hands-on techniques for adjusting and securing ties, ensuring that movement is both safe and sustainable.
