Teaching Adults to Play

Bastinado: Photo from my recent Dominance Development Seminar weekend intensive.

Last weekend was the first of Miss Couple’s and my Dominance Development Seminar (DDS) intensives, which we held in an entirely new state from where they’ve been in the past. We were holed up at the Star and Snake, a church-turned-pagan art and ritual space in New Hampshire. At this weekend-long workshop students develop skills and traits applicable to Dominance in BDSM play, for both lifestyle and professional practitioners. It’s a very packed weekend, and this last one went wonderfully!

The Dominance Development Seminar is a three-day workshop full of information, skill practice time, play opportunities, bonding, personal introspection, and support from the group itself. All the while we’re blessed to work with fantastically trained submissive and switch individuals who demo bottom, allow for students to practice various skills and scenes, and who serve us three nourishing meals a day! We’ve primarily held these seminars at a venue where most students are able to stay overnight. I’ve found it flows best when we’re able to host most people on site. Luckily, the Star and Snake was able to provide sleeping accommodations for everybody involved. It was wonderful utilizing every nook and cranny of that creative, inspiring, well equipped, and energizing venue toward our purpose.

Miss Couple and I frequently consider new spaces to hold these instructive weekends, other workshops, and destination kink vacations. We teach the Dominance Development Seminar a few times a year, and have considered offering it at various location sites. If there’s a state or place you’d like to see us bring our workshop, let us know your thoughts on the subject—you can contact me here. We’re happy to entertain ideas about where to produce and teach, as well as hear your inquiries or feedback about what you’d like to learn and/or experience.

Along with our ongoing search for great spaces to teach at, we’re developing new content this year! We have ideas for a reunion event for past DDS Students, developing a counterpart to our Dominance Seminar geared toward submissive types, and working on a webinar series.

Added to these developments, I’ll (hopefully) have a space I can teach in regularly very soon. If you’re interested in keeping up with my going’s on and the workshops and events I’ll be offering, please stay tuned. I’ll have a mailing list you can sign up for one of these days. In the meantime, feel free to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications when I publish. What I love and adore about this work is the planning, sessioning, consulting, and teaching—what I’m not so savvy about are the technological components which make producing more straight forward in this day and age…

Regardless, there is both a will and a way! I look forward to seeing some of you in my future classrooms.
