Elevate Through Your Kink Journey at The Sanctuary of Easy Harlem: May 24th/25th, 10AM - 6PM
Welcome to The Conscious Kinky Partner 2-Day In-person Intensive, where over the course of 48 hours attendees will learn the art of building and maintaining deep, meaningful connections through a variety of BDSM based discussions and practices. Beginning with necessary conversations which highlight the importance of negotiation, as well as defining energy and power exchange, we’ll help you to learn and expand on certain BDSM modalities like body mapping, rope, mummification, impact and flogging with new perspectives and incredible confidence. Join us for a fun and dynamic time, one full of learning, growing, clarifying and playing all through the lens of The Conscious Kinky Partner.
The intensive actually starts Friday night, with an initial meet-and-greet for attendees that leads into our regularly scheduled East Harlem Play Party. Additionally, this intensive is also hosted on the same weekend as Resonance, our special BDSM:101 tasting event. That being said, we don’t expect participants to stay for the entirety of either late night party/event, but we highly encourage you to stay for a bit and take a peek at our regular offerings!
