Pain Processing This class focuses on exploring the various ways of channeling energy and pain. It includes a discussion as well as a practical exploration of pain processing. Each participant will have the opportunity to practice multiple methods of processing pain, as well as gain an understanding of the advantages, disadvantages and potential uses of these ways. This class is geared towards masochists, but sadists and other orientations are welcome to attend.
Masochism and Healing
Have you ever had a scene that resulted in cathartic healing? While BDSM
is no substitute for Therapy, it can be therapeutic. This workshop will
focus on BDSM as a healing art. We will explore the ways BDSM triggers old
wounds and allows us the opportunity to heal in deep, dynamic and
meaningful ways. There will be discussion of masochism as a means of
healing, and a guided meditation allowing participants to experience first
hand the content of this class.
