SUMMARY:ONLINE: Safety in the Shadows: Kink vs Toxicity in Dark Dynamics with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Concepts such as consensual non-consent (CNC)\, degradation\, humiliation\, and the intentional imitation of abuse cycles are all valid ways to express power exchange and kink. They can also quickly blur the lines between “healthy” and “unhealthy.” \nThrough the sharing of stories\, research\, strategies\, and communication tools\, participants will be empowered to navigate these complex relationships and discern between dark dynamics and toxic behavior. We will emphasize the significance of communication\, active listening\, understanding\, boundaries\, and care within darker elements of total power exchange (TPE) and discuss preventive measures to minimize the risk of harm\, along with ways to course-correct if an unhealthy dynamic is identified. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. 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 \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/07ac7256e9

SUMMARY:ONLINE: ESM 102: Resilience Skills for Emotional S/m with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Emotional S/m can offer some of the most intense and transformative experiences in kink\, and also some of the most challenging to navigate sustainably. In ESM 102: Resilience Skills for Emotional Sadomasochism\, vahavta will take us beyond basic negotiation and communication to focus on what it actually takes to keep this kind of play sustainable for your brain\, body\, and life. \nWe’ll discuss how we can better prepare for and navigate the complex nuances between consensual emotional suffering and genuine psychological damage\, and walk away with practical methods for building tailored personal resilience while outside of play so that you can lean in more consciously and fully when it begins—not the sort of resilience that protects you from intensity\, but one that allows you to metabolize it fully and keep coming back for more. \nFor ESM players who are familiar with their desires and ready to develop the skills needed for long-term sustainability in psychological edgeplay. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Negotiating and Communicating for Emotional S/M with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Humiliation\, degradation\, objectification\, and other emotion-based play can\, for some people\, provide some of the most intense or playful kink experiences. But as a more abstract kink\, it can be challenging to negotiate effectively. Add the complicated nature of safewording when emotions have already been affected\, and you have a recipe for some potentially major pitfalls. In this class\, join experienced emotional masochist vahavta to explore your interest in emotional play\, discuss some of the possibilities for its directions (both good and bad!)\, and learn how to communicate with partners to minimize harm and maximize the experience you want. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Make Me a Masochist: Changing Your Relationship With Pain with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:“How are you enduring that? Is that safe for your body? How do I get better bruises? Wait\, did you just come?” For many bottoms\, how much they can suffer through – and how much they enjoy it – become points of insecurity. The bad news is that masochism can not be taught; pain management\, however\, can. This class will discuss mental and physical processing/conditioning techniques regarding multiple forms of pain. \nWe will move through the anatomy of a scene\, discussing techniques for preparing emotionally\, strategies to process pain\, ways to take care of your body when not playing (including why we do or don’t get bruises (and what to do about them if we don’t want them)\, and best practices in communicating with partners after the fact. While this class is geared towards bottoms\, tops are encouraged to attend in order to learn how they can best help their partners through difficult scenes. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally.

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.
