ASSFest M25 Rim | Decoding Desire with the Ki

*** An ASSFEST M25 Rim event - see here for ALL the juicy details! ***

Are you curious to better understand your fantasies? How about those of a partner? Would you like to be able to predict other things that may also "work" on you? To navigate your heat map to greater thrill and satisfaction?

Anne O Nomis has spent 16 years undertaking fieldwork and lived experience in facilitating people's fantasies and desires. She will take you on an illuminating journey of identifying your own current desires and fantasies, and how these map as a desire pathway or multiple pathways. She will then take you a step further by showing you how she can further predict what other fantasies and desires may also spark current in you, relationally. This will enable you (and a partner - if you have one - or several) to better then communicate and facilitate fantasies and desires to maximise pleasure. There will be opportunity to undertake mini practicum experiments to test and to expand desire awareness, with consensual negotiated play.

*** Anne O Nomis will also be presenting 'Stretch & Fill'  at the ASSFEST M25 Immersion weekend.***

Anne O Nomis is an archaeologist, historian and teacher of Dominance studies and Ki power dynamics.

She authored the acclaimed book 'The History & Arts of the Dominatrix', undertaking all the original research in museums, libraries and underground sources, brought together along with the Seven Realm Arts theory of what Dominatrices "do" as their craft specialization. She holds a Masters degree in Comparative Art and Archaeology from UCL (University College London).

She is the only Australian member of the Leather Hall of Fame Committee, alongside scene legends including Bob Miller, Gayle Rubin, Guy Baldwin, Vi Johnson and others. She has taught at DomCon NOLA (New Orleans), Oz Kink Fest, CARAS C2C Los Angeles, given private talks at the Freud Museum London, featured as Dominance expert for Sky TV's Sex: A Bonkers History, and keynote speaker at the Postgraduate UK Society of Aesthetics Conference at Kent University, and has been teaching her Seven Realm Arts certificate course for 9 years.

She teaches according to "Lady of the Largest Heart", open to all genders and sexualities.

Her new work is on Ki power dynamics and how people's responses to power affect their sexual expression, preferences and relationships with others. She undertook primary research questionnaire surveys during Covid-19, revealing distinctions in people's sexual proclivities mapped onto different responses to power.
