So we just met a hot Dominant or Submissive in the Dungeon. We'd love to play with them, but we don't want it to just be about Top & Bottom. We want to play with power, with intention. We're feeling that connection and want to explore it further. How do we do this? How do we create D/s connections that are temporary but authentic? How do we use language to reinforce the dynamic? How does physical play support the emotional connection we're trying to nourish? Darren will address these questions and more as he provides practical tips and tricks for creating hot D/s Pick-Up play. Darren is a sexuality and relationship educator and coach based out of Toronto, Ontario. He loves to facilitate discussions about making our relationships richer and our play hotter, with a particular focus on power exchange relationships and play. He is a relationship coach and mental wellness advocate. In his classes, Darren focuses on providing participants practical tools to communicate about the kind of dynamics, play, and sex they want, focusing on collaborative consent and shared vulnerability. He can be reached at darren@learngrowrepeat.ca. To register: MEMBERS -$10 Create a Member Portal account using the same email address used when you purchased your membership.
