About The Training

Let’s dip into the world of kink! In community, we will explore ways to cultivate kink-affirming practices. Shedding shame and stigma begins with examining our internalized biases as providers. Together, we’ll discover ways to support kinky service-users desiring safe and pleasure-filled BDSM journeys.

Whether you’re new to kink or a secret sub-leaning switch, let’s learn to empower us and kinky service-users to find inclusive and playful spaces that honor our diverse bodies and full beings. From a trauma-informed and sex-positive place, we will share lived-knowledge, debunk myths, and hold intersectionally-minded dialogue.
