SUMMARY:ONLINE - Conflict In Kink  with Ember Solaris
DESCRIPTION:Conflict can be scary\, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact\, it can be a catalyst for greater growth and connection. What’s important is how you handle it.

These skills are applicable in families\, vanilla life\, dynamics\, communities\, and anywhere where disagreements come up. Whether you avoid conflict at all costs or have never minded getting into the thick of it\, this class is for all. \nEmber Solaris has been active in the BDSM community for about a decade. They are a social scientist\, psychologist\, neuroscientist\, and social worker. They research emotions/emotion regulation\, interpersonal relationships\, trauma\, addictive behaviors\, etc. They are also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy\, EMDR\, Interpersonal Therapy\, the Gottman Approach\, and more\, but do not currently practice. They primarily work in academic research. Ember dabbles in professional BDSM.

SUMMARY:IN PERSON - Ready\, Aim\, Flog with sudisa
DESCRIPTION:Floggers are wonderful impact tools\, from stingy to thuddy to sensual and all points in between. Let’s put a flogger in your hands so you and your bottom can have as much fun as possible.
