Inanna Academy in collaboration with Studio of Secrets, is proud to present the first ever Cherubim event. Aimed at Consent Angels and Dungeon Monitors (and those who are wanting to learn) consent angel team leaders Carly and Trey will join the Studio of Secrets team to present a skill share and discussion panel, before moving into a play party where you can test your space management skills.

For the first 90 minutes of the event, we will focus on consent agent theory - including different models of consent agents in play spaces, strategies to engage with patrons, personal safety taking on the role of a consent agent, and what to look for while on duty. This section of the event will also feature a panel discussion with an opportunity for you to gain specific knowledge during the Q&A segment. While this part of the event is mostly theory-based, we will also engage in practical exercises to encourage a broader understanding of the various talking points.

Taking on the role of a consent angel or dungeon monitor is a practical skill, not just theory. So the event will transition to a play party with ongoing discussion and mentoring as we get our kink on. The will be some pre-planned and performative 'red flags' throughout the event to keep you on your toes and give you some practical experience in dealing with problem play or patrons.

Some of the core concepts we will cover:

Definitions and terms of the event based consent advocate roles
Understanding approaches to evaluating and managing risk in a SOP and kink environment
Bystander effect
Affect - projecting a persona consistent with the event’s intention
Social capital
Types of power
Consequences and accountability for transgressions or mishaps
Effective incident reports and escalations
Responding to guests and incidents -trauma informed
Personal impact and Self-care in the role of a event based consent advocate
