The Kink Lab - A BDSM 101 Hands-on Workshop

The polarity game of dominance and submission is a power exchange, a dance where power is the rhythm. As with any skill, ease and grace come from learning the foundations, the structure and the styles.

This is a laboratory of touch, where we will explore body sensations and sensuality with an open mind.
You will learn the basic guiding principles within BDSM, the skills and the attitude behind the play. From these building blocks, you will be able to continue your exploration, expanding your knowledge at your own pace to find your unique style. 

The structure of the event aims for 50% theory and 50% physical participation. Participants will be guided in sensation play, spanking and light impact play exercises. They will also have the opportunity to share their experience in small groups and ask practical questions about BDSM and kink.

Kink is not "FORE-play", it is simply play. It CAN but does NOT have to lead to erotic arousal. You can go as far as it is comfortable for you. You will be encouraged to play only as far as it feels safe within your boundaries and you're welcome to step out and observe during the connection exercises. 

Topics covered:
- Safety Parameters
- Negotiation & establishing boundaries
- Dominant and submissive archetypes: Role plays
- The Fetish Buffet: Overview of different Fetishes & Kinky games
- Body awareness & Presence
- Aftercare: The closure of play
- Basic BDSM techniques, including sensation play, spanking and impact play

We welcome newbies and kink veterans, all genders and sexual orientations.
Couples or singles are welcome. You will be encouraged to take turns in leading and surrendering for the purpose of expanding your perspective. Couples may choose to stay as a pair or mingle with other participants.

What to bring & wear:
- An open mind
- Bottle of water
- If you have a whip / crop / flogger or other kinky toy, bring it, even if you are unsure how to use it!
- If you don't own any toys yet, there will be some available for practice at the workshop and for sale.

- Wear clothes in which you feel comfortable, confident and sensual. This is not a dress code. It's to inspire your attitude.

 As this is an introductory class, nudity will not be permitted. However, for the experiential part, undressing to underpants is encouraged for better skin contact especially for the impact play. You may dress in swimwear if that feels more comfortable for you. G-strings or lingerie are encouraged.

The Facilitator: Mistress Kalyss Mercury - BDSM expert, Kink Coach, and Tantric Dominatrix

With over 25 years of experience, I have helped thousands embrace and grow their kinks through workshops, coaching, private sessions, and public demonstrations. My approach combines psychology, neuroscience, Tantra, sexological bodywork, and biohacking to create a holistic path to self-discovery.

True personal growth comes from embracing every part of ourselves—our desires, our secrets, and specially our kinks. Once we move past the fear of sharing these hidden parts, we unlock an incredible sense of freedom and energy. By letting go of shame and celebrating our kinks in a safe, judgment-free space, we can fully enjoy the relief and joy of living out our fantasies. My mission is to help you feel seen, accepted, and empowered as you explore and embrace your true self, kinks and all.

Based between Oslo and Brisbane, I also visit Amsterdam, London, and Sydney on a regular basis.
