The Consent Academy presents “Show Me Consent,” a film festival highlighting consent education and consensual interactions. Our goal is to change the hearts and minds of people across a wide spectrum through showing consent. By encouraging diverse representation in these films and highlighting how we interact with each other, The Consent Academy hopes to bring more awareness to consent culture. The festival will begin with a screening of the film entries. The films will range in genre and style, but will highlight consent through character interactions. Some films may be adult in nature, but all will be “Youtube-friendly.” We will follow the screening with a Q&A with the filmmakers. Prizes will be awarded at the end, including Best in Show and Audience Choice. Purchase your ticket here! For more information, please visit www.consent.academy.

Allena Gabosch Challenges us all to Become Outrageously, Totally Human! ​ What are the persistent cultural and social conditionings that have constrained our minds with self limiting beliefs?

Rope bondage is a wonderfully versatile tool that works well for all kinds of play styles. Although we normally try to make our bondage as comfortable as possible, this class will look at ways to deliberately and safely create bondage that is uncomfortable or even painful. Good pain bondage should be safe and precise: it should deliver exactly the right amount of sensation without causing damage. We’ve chosen a set of techniques that work well with almost any body type and which can be easily adjusted to whatever intensity level you’re looking for. In addition to using rope to cause pain directly, we’ll look at stress positions that create discomfort by holding the body in challenging poses. Finally, we’ll look at predicament bondage: creating a situation where your partner has to pick between two different kinds of discomfort. Predicament bondage can be particularly fun, and is often a favorite with smart, bratty bottoms. If you’re a top, we’ll show you some great techniques that will help you put your partner in their place and keep them there. And for bottoms, we have some handy tips to keep those pesky tops from putting you in your place. To make sure you stay safe, we’ll talk about the anatomy of pain play and how to tell the difference between safe pain and dangerous pain. We’ll also cover some great techniques for processing pain and moving in rope to improve your ability to handle and enjoy challenging ties. No matter whether you’re a heavy sadomasochist looking to add rope to your repertoire or just want to experiment with some light sensation play, this class will give you the tools you’re looking for. Purchase Advance Tickets Here! Important details: This is an intermediate level class. You should be familiar with basic kink concepts and know how to tie a single column tie. Please bring your own rope to this class. We recommend at least two 10-15′ lengths and one 20-30′ length. You can attend on your own, but it’s more fun if you bring a partner. All sexes, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations welcome and celebrated. No late entry will be allowed due to the safety information at the beginning of this workshop. Doors will be locked at 15 minutes after the start time. Water available. Please bring your own bottle or cup. Open to all 18+ Attendance is limited to 12 tying pairs.

Why Pleasure? We honor Pleasure as resistance to apathy. Where trauma restricts, Pleasure opens. Attuning to the self healing power of pleasure as our birthright. A space to revitalize, listen to and attend to our own needs and desires; a place of self discovery. Pleasure as the source of sacred sweetness, we embrace the nectar of our own unfolding. Why solo? Our Pleasure is our own. Pleasure is an experience we cultivate from within. Why together? We practice in community to strengthen our sense of belonging, offer witness to each other and experience our interconnectedness in a brave, vulnerable and receptive space. We intend to create community that supports the unlearning of shame, dismantling of heteronorms and affirms queerness. We welcome all gender expressions. The Practice Simple and profound. Each workshop offers a specific invitation to engage with pleasure and can be taken as a stand alone workshop while the series intends to build community. Each practice allows 15 minutes for arriving, 15 minutes for setting group agreements and intentions, an embodiment invitation and song leading into one hour of our special activity, and concluding with 30 minutes of savoring, mingling and imbibing something seasonal and delicious. This month: Vibrating chakra choir An embodiment meditation focusing on each energy center. Intentionally stimulating each chakra, attuning to the specific resonance therein and raising the vibration with our voices. We will become a symphony of improvised voices and vibration.
