What is BDSM? It’s often described as Bondage, Discipline, Dominance/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism. But it’s much more—it’s a space for imagination, creativity, and intentionality.

Why do we play? In this class, we’ll explore the reasons behind your desire to engage in BDSM—whether it's for pain and pleasure, liberation, connection, or even love.

And the "How"? We’ll dive into the principles of SAFE, SANE, AND CONSENTUAL play. From negotiation to aftercare, we’ll learn the basics and get hands-on with some toys to discover how to truly "play" safely and responsibly.
