2026-06-02 18:00 - 20:00
From spontaneous tees-turned-ties to full-encasement scenes crafted with nothing more than a few pairs of pantyhose, clothing can become an unexpectedly powerful tool in bondage play.

ONLINE: Sex Magick for Kinksters with Miriam Green
2026-06-13 11:00 - 13:00
The traditional definition of magick is “the art and science of changing consciousness in conformity with Will.” We could also say it’s a way of moving and transforming energy and perception. In terms of our life work, magick is a set of tools that allows us to get out of our own way to more effectively do our work in the world.
The magickian’s tool kit includes techniques such as ecstatic trance, symbolic ritual, polarity work, breathing techniques, sensual immersion, and more. The sex magickian specifically works with the energies raised in solo or partnered play as fuel for their spellwork or life Work.
Those tools should seem very familiar to us kinksters. You may not be a magickian, but most of us are playing around in the magickian’s tool kit.
This class will explore some basic information on how to understand the potent energies invoked in D/s and S/m. We’ll talk about the nature of the soul, how to engage the deeper mind, creating a safe container for a scene, and what one can do with the energies we raise in BDSM play. Whether you believe in magick, want to believe in magick, or think this is all just a fun metaphor for how the mind works, you are sure to gain new tools and perspectives on BDSM play by attending this class.
PRESENTER:

ONLINE: Daddy Issues: Daddy Dynamics & You A class with Lady V
2026-06-21 11:00 - 13:00
NOTE: Workshop is accessible to ALL genders of Daddy & sides of the slash….yes, even subby daddies. We <3 submissive & switchy daddies. This workshop is not necessarily geared towards ageplay or ABDL, but inclusive of it.

Daddy, don’t stop! No, seriously, dude.
Learn about Daddy Dynamics in this workshop dedicated to the Daddy who understands from the inside & out (& its not just because their fist is inside me).
What are Daddy Dynamics?
A Daddy dynamic is a relationship or short-term play where one player is “Daddy” & typically plays a parental or semi-nurturing type figure within the scene or short to long-term dynamics.
“Daddy” dynamics are HIGHLY influenced by the people involved & the interests in their preferred types of play. Daddies can be scary sadists to submissive sweethearts who want to please their Princex, Princes, & Princesses.
Daddy Dynamics can be everything from light & fluffy to dark & demented…maybe even a mix of both depending on your tastes!
In this class, we’ll dive into:

Figuring out what kind of archetype resonates with you as a Daddy or finding the right Daddy(s)
Figuring out what type of dynamic works best (ex. Daddy Dom/little, Princex/daddy sub, etc.)
Pickup play or short-term dynamics & integrating Daddy elements into play
Keeping things fresh & healthy in long-term Daddy dynamics
How to heal after a dynamic has ended
Including others into dynamics such as other submissives, Princexes, & other Care Givers.
How any gender can be “Daddy” & what it means to be “Daddy” to someone

Why Learn From Lady V?
Lady V has been in & out of Daddy/girl dynamics for the last several years. While once swearing up & down she could never call a man “Daddy”, now EVERYONE’S HER DADDY.
Many of her dynamics have been everything from long term relationships (LTRs) to occasional play partners to pick up play. Some include submissive daddies to Daddies with strong backhands.
While not currently in a Daddy dynamic, Lady V still plays with DD/lg & Princess/daddy sub dynamics as a Pro Domme & a lifestyle switch.

DISCLAIMER: We do not advocate for incest or anything in a similar vein. This is only roleplay between consenting adults. Also, not all of us have Daddy issues because of our biological Fathers, but thanks for assuming. 🖤
PRESENTER:
Lady V (she/her) is a spiritually & socioculturally driven sex-positive educator, community organizer, lifestyle switch & pro dominatrix.

The world over, body modification is used as a way to express identity – whether that is self-identity, cultural (or subcultural) affiliation, milestones, political views, or spiritual connections. We have all made modifications to live our lives, such as having a specific hair style to blend in with our peer circles or dressing in a certain way. We will look at the wide variety of body modifications available today from henna/mehndi to hook suspension, tattoos to ritual jewelry, stage makeup to genital reconstruction surgery, breast augmentation to flesh removal. We will also discuss the energy inherent in each type of modification, issues of cultural appropriation, and the social implications of body modification. Let’s examine why every act of modifying our flesh can be sacred, and every act can be profane – no matter the type of alteration, no matter the transformation.
