The Basics of Canes, Your Flexible Impact Toy! - Sir Panda
Level 1, BDSM, Canes, Impact
If your bottom loves a little sting — or a lot — caning is a great way to bring some zing to the scene. If you’re a bottom who loves stingy, you owe it to yourself to try a little caning!
We’ll present the basics of caning and scenes that integrate canes into your play as a creative option. You’ll learn about cane types, sizes, and materials; the flexibility of different selections; and how these options and the force applied affect the feel and pain level. We’ll cover different caning swings, beats, and rhythms — from a gentle tap, tap, tapping to an intense, agonizing strike.
Canes have their own mystique and are great for bondage and punishment scenes. Even a small, hidden cane can be brought out for a big flashy effect! Canes offer a sensual and stingy sauce all their own and unlike heavier thuds can be applied almost anywhere below the neck – depending on the size and flexibility of the cane, and the force used (let's be careful out there!). We’ll discuss cane care and safety, and how canes can be a sweet and tasty addition to your toy menu.
What to bring: (OPTIONAL) Bring your canes and bottoms if you have them.
Flogging Variations: Mild to Wild - Eirikah Delaunay
Level 1, BDSM, Flogging, Hands-On
In this experiential workshop, we will explore some of the many sensations and techniques for using this iconic toy.

A range of floggers will be available for exploration; please bring your flogger(s) if you have them. If you are willing to bottom for inexperienced Tops in a learning environment, please bring clothes for your own added protection.**Note: All partnered practice will require negotiation and mutual consent.
Impact Play (giving and receiving) - Mac McGregor
Featured Presenter, Level 2, BDSM, Hands-on, Impact
As a world champion fighter, we learn to give and take shots and how to maximize power when giving. This is the full circle of both sides of the coin in one class. You will learn tricks of the trade that fighters use to learn to take hits and keep going as well as how to conserve and maximize power when you are giving the impact. Each person will participate in learning both sides of the skills of the game of impact play. Come ready to sweat, learn and be empowered by knowledge and skill.
What to bring: Wear comfortable clothes that you can move freely in and tennis shoes.
Sweet, Seductive, and Serviceable: Dessert Topping 101 for Everybody! - Teeebone
Level 1, BDSM, Sensual, Topping
Have you ever heard of a Dessert Top? BDSM has been perceived as being rough, brutal, and painful, thanks to our dear friends in the media. So, let’s step away from that and approach this subject from a different angle, one that focuses on fun and sensual domination! In this workshop, we will explore the sensual side of BDSM and find out more about what being a Sweet Service Top is all about!
Often, we think of boundaries as rigid limits that keep us safe but might also prevent us from stretching into new experiences. Some of us — especially those of us who thrive on pleasing our partners — also feel super awkward about communicating our boundaries to others for fear that we will be perceived as rude or mean. In this workshop, we’ll practice feeling in our bodies the fluidity of our boundaries in a specific moment so that we will recognize that feeling as it arises in negotiations, in scenes, and other parts of our lives. We’ll also practice communicating boundaries lovingly so we can better invite people into truly connected, consensual relationships with us.
What to bring: Bring your toys and pervertables for a live demo and guided practice!

What to bring: Bring your toys and pervertables for a live demo and guided practice!

This session will also cover safety considerations, materials and sourcing, additional learning resources, and examples of other DIY impact toys.
What to bring: All tools and supplies will be provided, but if you would like any particular color, please bring 25-50 feet of Type 550 paracord in the color of your choice.
