SM 101 - To kick off, we’ll discuss the foundations for planning a scene: vetting and negotiations, top/bottom dynamics, in-scene communication, mistakes and repair, and more! Bring your curiosities and be prepared to leave with more.

Every week will showcase the perspective of a different community leader. We’ll discuss consent, communication, and power, and then explore a specific topic to spice up your next hookup. Each workshop in this series is a chance to learn a new skill, share your experience, and meet players in the community. Sign up for all 5 workshops or pick the topics that make you feel hottest under the collar.
