SUMMARY:ONLINE: Listening with Empathy with Master Retro Bella
DESCRIPTION:One of the most common traits among failed scenes\, negotiations\, and contract discussions is misunderstanding the intent behind a verbal statement. Oftentimes the intent is buried behind “under talk” and lack of trust. This can be particularly challenging when communication is already at a standstill. Join me as we explore how to regain trust and relearn how to listen with empathy. \nIn this class\, we will be covering: \n\nWhat is “Under talk” and how can we recognize it in our speech\nReading body language or the lack of body language\nLearning how to become a more empathic person\nRebuilding trust after a communication break down\nHow to create a safe place for private talks\n\nPRESENTER: \nMaster Retro Bella is a Latina High Femme Master and Leather woman from Bakersfield\, California. Her pronouns are She/Her/Hers. She is the first woman to earn the title of 2023 Southwest Master and became the first person of Latin descent to hold the 2024 International Master title. She is passionate about Latinx/ne representation in M/s and Leather spaces. This passion fueled her to create the Latine Leather Pride flag\, which debuted at South Plains Leatherfest in 2025\, and to become the founder of Latinos in Leather. Recognized as one of the Onyx Pearls’ “Young 8\,” she carries the pearl name Amara Pearl. Currently\, Master Retro Bella curates the Latinx Queer Chronicles on Substack\, which showcases the intersectionality of queerness and Latinidad. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/412287efca
