From The Minds Of Babes - Littles & The Psyche with Morrigan
2019-09-11 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
Age play can be a fun, healthy, cathartic and even therapeutic activity, bringing joy and playfulness into the ageplayers’ lives and relationships. Whatever the reason one is drawn to ageplay, there’s a common desire to seek out and capture the perfect childhood, now. In this workshop, we will take a deeper look at some of the “building blocks” and psychology behind this topic. We’ll also address and debunk some of the most common, and maybe some uncommon myths surrounding age play with a fun and entertaining game!
From pageant winner to kinky sinner, this former Girl Scout and girl-next-door from New Jersey has been stirring up the scene for the better part of a decade. Since 2012, Morrigan has been a staff member for Conduit Enterprises (New Jersey’s premiere monthly sex-positive kink/fetish/BDSM party). She’s the founder of Conduit’s “Little Sparks” and a co-leader for Conduit’s festival and camp collective presence. Known for her penchant for prosecco, and her over-the-top, extra AF party planning and production, this classy bitch is the mastermind behind events such as THUNDERFOAM! and Midnight Margaritas. As an age player, Morrigan is an advocate for learning to let go and embracing vulnerability without shame through consensual play associated with reconnection with lost innocence. With her infectious laugh, her vibrant squeals from excitement, and her twisted ideas of fun, she might just make you suffer from cute aggression, or she might get you to walk her Lego™ walk of fire. When in doubt, little out!

DW/sm Group - Slave Skills: an exchange about essential skills for submissively inclined folx
2019-09-18 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
What makes service work? Equipped with a diverse toolbox and versatile majordomo expertise, Slave Gaius will share the skills and tactics they’ve gleaned from their years as a Head Slave. This presentation will cover some of the physical, mental, and emotional skills that they’ve found to be the most useful while in service to Verseria, as an integral part of the Hive, an O/s polyamorous household in the Hudson Valley.
Slave Gaius has been a Head Slave for the last seven years and has been in service for much longer than that. He is also a NYS EMT with a dozen years of experience. His interests in the kink lifestyle include service, latex/rubber, bondage, single tail whips and making affordable toys. Outside of kink he is currently a farmer in NYS and tries to practice the theory of kaizen (continuous improvement) in all aspects of his work.

Ms. Margaret of the Spanking Club of New York will explain how to approach a submissive so you have their attention and keep it throughout the scene. Using the right tone, facial expression and words matter when having a scene with a willing submissive.

How to Say No
2019-10-02 19:30 | NY
Have you said yes to something that you wanted to say no to but felt stuck in the moment? Struggled with not taking on this extra task because saying no to your friend seemed rude, or you just weren’t prepared and agreed without really wanting to? WELL, this is your chance to practice saying NO to any number of different requests, whether that’s a hug you don’t want or a “volunteer” job organizing a canned food drive you wanted to support but don’t want to be in charge of. This is an interactive practice with some discussion around why a no is easy or hard in the moment. Like lots of things in life, saying no DOES get easier with practice, and that’s the point of this!
Ginger is a white cis woman who left monogamy behind as a personal choice over a decade ago and never looked back. She’s not an expert and won’t tell you what to do, but will happily help you practice saying “No” in eighteen different ways to her so they next time your crappy roommate asks you if they can eat your special donuts your “nope, sorry, those are just for me!” pops out without thought.

DM/sw: Accountability Standards in the Scene Panel Discussion, moderated by Jinx
2019-10-22 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
Safety and consent are considered of utmost importance in the BDSM scene, however public discourse shows that people do not always agree on the specifics, and context can vary. The same goes for accountability, responsibility, and skill, though they are are not as talked about–but how can you have safety or consent without them?
There is no shortage of classes, or expectations, directed towards D-types. The level of education, expectation, and accountability directed towards s-types, on the other hand, seems disproportionate. There also seems to be inconsistencies in the kinky community’s rhetoric and standards directed at those who identify as Dominant Men versus submissive women (and everything in between). Join a group of DM and sw panelists to discuss their experiences and thoughts around this kink, social, and gender-related topic.
