ONLINE - Be-Weave Me, I Don't Need a Knot! with CTW
2021-12-14 19:00 - 22:00
No apologies for the pun, but be-weave it or not – learning to weave can be a great introduction to rope bondage. Weave patterns create the basis for many aesthetic and functional harnesses. And no knots are required! Attendees of this introductory rope class will learn to weave patterns for hand bondage, foot bondage, and a hip harness. Viewers should have two to three standard lengths of rope (26-30 feet) and one half length of rope (13-15 feet) to tie along, plus have an emergency cutting tool on hand. Self-tiers are recommended to have a spotter or emergency exit plan in place.
CTW (she/her) is your average queer, ENM Millenial bondage kinkster. She specializes in rope and chain bondage, and she enjoys creating memorable and safe first rope suspension experiences, making her masochistic bottoms scream and giggle and swear in mean suspensions, and working with her main romantic partner on developing and teaching chain bondage techniques. Together they have a book coming out soon on chain bondage for the ground. (She is credited as Cecilia T. Winters.) She has previously presented in person for Fem Rope Hampton Roads, Williamsburg Rope Bite, Dark Odyssey, NARIX, NoVa Events, and The Space – Wichita, and virtually for TES Tuesdays and Sadovarius (Czech Rep.).

ONLINE - Female Domination: Empowering Women to Lead! with PlaineJane
2022-03-29 19:00 - 22:00
Female Led dynamics have always had a significant place in not only historical influences but have had cultural impact as well. From royal dynasties to empirical rule, women have always possessed the ability to stimulate change and sometimes to even incite war. While not the standard hetro-normative relationship construct within what is seen as “modern” era, women have continued to demonstrate the powerful force of Female Energy and their ability to dominate their partners and their societies.
Join PlaineJane for a discussion on Female Led Relationships (FLR) throughout history, their effect on cultural and historical norms, and how women have always had the power to change, impact, and influence our community and partners. Jane will explore types of domination to include; sexual, mental, physical, financial, and emotional from a Female Master’s and/or Dominant’s perspective. She will also discuss ways to empower and inspire female energy in relationships, scenes, and as community leaders.
PlaineJane has been active in the Atlanta BDSM community for over ten years. As an enthusiastic Event Coordinator & Educator, Jane is a strong advocate for promoting and producing educational events for and within the BDSM and Leather communities. Jane is the Director and Organizer of MAsT: Marietta Women and the Founder and Leader of F.L.A.I.R. (Female Led Authority Inspired Relationships) which offers educational Intensives for different faucets of the BDSM Lifestyle and Leather communities. Her area of interest and experience includes service, domination and discipline, impact play, dragon’s tails, high protocol, event producing and promoting, power exchange from both sides of the slash, humiliation & degradation, chemical play, genitorture and of course Male on Male Action… to name a few.”

ONLINE - Surviving Separation: What to do When You Are Apart with Trouvere-le-Fou & Chanteuse
2022-05-03 19:00 - 22:00
Many people are separated for a time by something: work, family emergencies, war. How do you maintain your relationship during the time you are apart? How do you resume your relationship after the changes you both made while apart? This session focuses on mechanisms that can be used to hold it together while you are separated and get it back together when reunited. It focuses on both the departing and the remaining parties, as they face different challenges. It is not specifically about Long Distance Relationships (LDR) but many of the skills can be applied there.
Trouvere spent four years as a full-time technical instructor. He has decades of public speaking and adult education experience. Chanteuse has a PhD in Educational/ Developmental Psychology and has taught and supervised instructors from pre-school to adult learners for the last 3 decades.
We have been married for 30+ years, kinky for 25+, and in varying degrees of PE for over 15. We have been out and about at the Power Exchange Summit, Master / slave Conference, and Southwest Leather Conference among others. We are founding members of MaST Fredericksburg, where Trouvere is a co-Director and Chanteuse is Secretary/Treasurer.

Level: Advanced Beginner, Tie Along
Skyla discovered Fetlife in 2012 while Googling, “people turned on by fear”. The rest is history. Skyla identifies as a Fem Dom and Mermaid with a love for bondage and a penchant for sparkle. Armed with her sassy nature and dry sense of humor, she navigates BDSM topics of all kinds, including polyamory, rope, communication, medical play, FLR and D/s. Skyla has been bottoming for rope since 2012, and has been tying since 2013. Skyla is very involved with her kink community. After years of staffing conventions and volunteering, Skyla now produces her own convention – Tethered Together w. Ozma_of_Oz. When Skyla is not striking fear into the hearts of her bottoms, she enjoys reading, yoga, dancing with her levi wand, and iced coffee. She loves meeting new people, so please introduce yourself!

ONLINE - Kindness and other Kinks with HiThereCatsuit
2022-05-17 19:00 - 22:00
Jon has been an ambassador in his communities by bringing people from all over together to share connections and experiences. He bases his success on one thing… kindness.
In this workshop, Jon will discuss the difference between kind and nice and how that can make all the difference in the world in getting you the kind of play partners and relationships that you desire. From his tips on profile writing to writing a great note to how to build a connection with someone you may not have ever expected, he guides you to seeing the kind person in you, and how to bring that energy into a room and light it up.
Based on his Ted Talk, Jon’s deep dive into being kind discusses power dynamics in society and how turning those power dynamics around can make all the difference in the way people see you. From famous people to the person next door, you will be able to see how it’s the little things that make all the difference.
We will also talk about bringing kindness into scenes, which can be a lovely change of pace to a dynamic to heighten intense scenes and allow for breathing room. One important discussion will be the “notebook” scene which was performed at Winter Wickedness that was designed to help someone who is unsure of their place in the community, and welcomes them to a new world in a beautiful combination of words, impact, sensation, and beauty.
Bio:
Jon a/k/a HiThereCatsuit has been hosting the What Women* (*and other wonderful humans) Want podcast since October of 2021. An avid writer and contributor on FetLife, Jon wrote a column about men and their unsolicited dick pics. The response led him to brainstorm with NookieNotes of Dating Kinky to create the podcast.
As Jon, the host has an award winning background in broadcasting going back more than 35 years and has appeared as a talent on national networks as well as regional and local stations. He has 7 Emmy Awards for his work behind the scenes, and also designs all the graphic elements for the show’s social media. In addition, he has been a public speaker and has even presented a TEDx talk about how people treat each other.
In the scene, HiThereCatsuit is a bottom leaning Switch who is known for his trademark spandex suits which led to his name, as so many people just said “HiThereCatsuit” when he would walk into a party. He is also known for his notebooks which he shares with people he connects with to keep inventory of small victories. He is active in the Cincinnati area and is hoping to take the show on the road to kink conventions with live presentations.
