Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations ~ The Art of Containment + Penetration

After nine sold-out rounds, Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations has proven to be a powerful and essential initiation into the realms of BDSM.

In this experiential class + lab, you’ll practice embodying both your Dominant and submissive archetypes, and learn to work with the energies of containment and penetration as tools to create turn-on, depth and delicious surrender.

You are invited to step into your hot AF Dominant power aaaand to soften into your silky submissive surrender.

This class is the doorway in—the place to begin to build your skills, clarify your energy, and prepare for the deeper play that’s coming next. It’s beginner friendly, though we’ve also heard from more seasoned players that they’ve gotten a ton out of this class.

Wtf is containment?

• Containment = down-regulation : firm, grounding, holding energy to melt your sub into a good lil kitten

• Penetration = up-regulation : activating, enlivening, intense energy to ignite delicious sensation and turn-on

Honestly the benefit of learning these skills goes way beyond the context of BDSM.

Containment supports safety, intimacy, and trust in friendships, loverships, and even your relationship with yourself. It creates the feeling of being well held and exquisitely attuned to.

Penetration is the spice and thrill of life. It delivers the excitement, adventure, pain, and delight that we all crave.

When these energies are well balanced, they evoke an exquisite symphony of sensations that just might have you on your knees… begging for more.

• New and experienced kink players wanting to refine their skills

Facilitated by Julia Vieau

At heart, Julia is a devoted submissive—soft, open, and wired for surrender. But in recent years, she’s fallen in love with her inner Daddy Dom: cultivating a presence that’s refined, intentional, and delights in delicious authority.

As a trained Domme and experienced event producer, Julia creates immersive spaces for people to explore embodiment, sensuality, and the unfolding of the mystery. Her work is an invitation into deeper presence, where surrender is celebrated, and power is wielded with tenderness, precision, and attunement. Her desire is to create a culture where more people know how to hold each other with the depth that awakens trust, and to play in ways that makes life irresistibly juicy.

“Julia, thank you for initiating us into the art of containment and penetration. Experiencing and understanding those two dynamics in such a tangible way was revolutionary for me. I now recognize how past partners’ requests for “safety” or “connection” were actually calls for containment… something I didn’t fully grasp or know how to offer until now. Your training has deeply enriched my human experience and will undoubtedly ripple through all my future relationships. You are a true gift, and I’m excited for the next level of this training!”

“Girlll!! I’m feeling so alive for the first time in a long while. I’ve had no less than five people tell me I’m glowing today after last night’s class”

“At first I was a little hesitant. Between the cost and not being sure what to expect, I was a bit nervous. But it was worth every penny. It truly pushed us outside of our comfort zone in the best way possible.

I feel like as a couple married now for nearly two decades, we sometimes fall into the trap of comfort. Last night you gave us a whole new menu while utilizing many of the same ingredients that we already love to cook with, if that makes sense.

We learned a lot looking around the room and seeing the confidence people have. Different bodies, different experiences, different desires, but they all somehow drop their guard and accept each other in a way that the world seems to have recently forgotten.

We plan on taking the rest of the sessions you offer in this series, and we’d love to explore other offerings as well. Seriously great job.”
