SUMMARY:ONLINE: Long Distance Polyamory w/ HG Wyndell
DESCRIPTION:Whether partners are 2 hours away or halfway around the world\, it can take a lot more than Google Calendar to make long-distance polyamorous relationships functional\, healthy\, and fulfilling. \nSometimes the distance is a six-month job placement\, sometimes it’s living thousands of miles apart. Distance will multiply the complexity already present in polyamorous\nrelationships. \nWe’ll discuss the challenges\, additional dynamics\, and helpful approaches to long-distance polyamory based on lived experience. Hopefully leaving you with more tools in your toolbox for figuring out how to make it work in healthy and fulfilling ways for you. \nPRESENTER: \nHG Wyndell is an activist\, educator\, and Spiritworker who is driven to facilitate accessible ritual spaces for folks seeking access to more deeply nourishing relationships with themselves and others. They are committed to living life through a lens of wonder\, and in our experience\, they don’t mess around when it comes to embracing the complex beingness of whoever is blessed to be in their presence and consideration. They weave their lived experiences with intentional relationship\, genuine gender expression\, ceremony\, creative arts\, chronic illness\, and embracing pleasure seamlessly with a whole lot of love and a good bit of magic into the rich curriculum they offer. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; $20-$40 scale. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/5c4e43aefe

SUMMARY:ONLINE: When No Doesn't Mean No: Negotiation and Communication for Consensual Nonconsent with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:How do you keep yourself safe when you want to feel you’re in real danger? How do you push someone past their breaking point and still leave room to repair the damage? Is there a way to forego hard limits and safewords and stay ethical in play? When you start to play on the edges of consent\, everything becomes a little bit trickier. \nIn this class\, vahavta draws on her experiences and stories from a decade years in a 24/7 consensual non-consent (“CNC”) relationship\, sharing tips and strategies for developing and staying within a personal risk profile\, playing with triggers\, communicating in-scene without “breaking character\,” and dealing with cognitive dissonance (“did I really want that?”) in drop. We will explore the mental and physical considerations and contingency plans needed to enter a CNC environment\, based on the desires and boundaries expressed by both bottoms and tops. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey eight years ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and Israel along the way. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service and is often found sporting large bruises\, writing\, or enjoying a good beer. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context. As an educator\, she aims to give honest and risk-aware information that applies to the realities of human behavior\, focusing largely on the “how” and asking people to consider their personal capabilities\, interests\, and readiness. Passionate about community collaboration\, vahavta is proud to run the Risk Evaluation Database (RED) and contribute regularly to kink blogs and her own Fetlife writing index. In all aspects of her life\, she strives to be a work in progress. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/34419a147c
