Ego, Death, and Ego Death in BDSM

For the philosophical and personal growth-minded kinkster, this fascinating new workshop with Headmistress Shahrazad will explore BDSM in light of the concepts of ego as a necessary psychological function, death as a metaphor for change and transformation, and ego death as a phase in one’s inner journey where one’s subjective identity is temporarily lost. We will also examine the metaphor of the Hero’s Journey and use it as inspiration to guide our kink explorations towards helping us reach our fullest potential as human (and spiritual) beings.

Intentionality and the Submissive Journey

Brat Play 101

"Brats” often get a bad rap in the BDSM scene, seemingly causing many a Dominant to pull their hair out in frustration. The reason is often because brats are viewed as disobedient or rude submissives instead of as a unique sub-category of bottom requiring a completely different approach. This workshop is dedicated to helping folks appreciate and learn how to enjoy this style of play. We will delve into what brat play is and isn’t, the underlying motivations for being a brat, how to know if your submissive style is “bratty”, what forms of dominance are most compatible, the biggest mistakes dominants make when playing with brats, how to wind down a bratting scene, and specific aftercare needs for both the top and the bottom.

“Established”: Building a Sustainable Long-Term Pro BDSM Practice

Anyone can get into Professional BDSM, but only a small percentage remain in the industry longer than a year or two. What it takes to get started and what it takes to make your practice personally, ethically, and economically sustainable over the long-term are two completely different beasts.

Learn what clients to keep and what clients to watch out for, how to gain and keep “regular” clients, tips for supporting yourself emotionally and financially through periods of high and low income, the importance of maintaining a bottom line of ethics and values, how to bounce back from burnout, and much more!

Managing Difficult Clients for Pro-Dominants

This invaluable live workshop is geared towards working BDSM professionals as well as those looking to get into the field. Becoming skilled at managing difficult clients is essential to preventing burnout and to keeping yourself safe in what can be an intense and emotionally demanding profession. We will explore prototypes of the most common types of difficult clients using anonymous case studies taken from real life scenarios, establishing “best practices” for management for a wide range of relational challenges that emerge between clients and professional BDSM practitoners. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the motivations of difficult clients, and will master practical tools for handling contact with them, significantly reducing the stress of these daily interpersonal challenges.

Dirty Talk 101

Skillful, hot, and conscious dirty talk is a pretty rare thing to come by– even those who are otherwise confident and articulate can face road blocks when it comes to taking those skills into a scene. Once you get the hang of it, dirty talk can easily become one of the most versatile, fun, and sexy skills in your kinky toolbox. In this 2 hour intensive we will be delving into the psychological and emotional aspects of dirty talk, from Dominant and submissive perspectives. Through building confidence and engaging with your partner's desires, we will learn how to turn your vocabulary into something just as stimulating as the caress of leather cuffs or the sting of a paddle.

Techniques for Coaching Bottoms Through Pain Play

Many Dominants are sadists and enjoy subjecting their submissives to painful sensations, and many submissives are masochists and enjoy receiving those sensations. This practical workshop will highlight the ten most important psychological and physiological factors that impact a bottom’s ability to process pain, and then teach you fourteen easy pain processing techniques that can be employed by the Top and/or bottom to take your sadomasochistic scenes to the next level of intensity while ensuring enjoyment, presence, and safety.

Old School Discipline

Discipline techniques that used to be employed in domestic or school settings (and which might now be considered ‘old fashioned’) can still have tremendous application within consensual power exchange dynamics. Whether it is a desire to revisit past experiences on our own terms, or simply the love of authentic historical methods, there are ways to incorporate these techniques safely and sanely into our play. This workshop will give historical background on spanking, mouth soaping, line writing, figging, and kneeling on rice, and then will teach you how to administer each safely within a kink context.

Using BDSM for Personal Healing

Within many esoteric frameworks, water corresponds to our emotions, earth to our bodies, air to our minds, and fire to our spirits. This unique workshop will begin by exploring the four elements as they exist within you, both in balance and out of balance, and what that might look like for you on a practical level. Shahrazad will then present an original teaching on the elemental correspondences of different kinds of kink/fetish/SM play. Finally we’ll put everything together so that you learn how to 1) identify an imbalance in yourself or your partner and 2) mindfully harness the water, air, earth or fire within a scene of your choosing, to 3) create opportunities for deep personal transformation and healing for yourself or others.

Navigating BDSM With PTSD/C-PTSD

A common myth about BDSM is that it is a dysfunctional form of sexuality that emerges out of past trauma. While that is patently untrue, there are a lot of kinksters with trauma histories who find it hard to talk about their BDSM fantasies, either because they don’t want people to assume a correlation between the two, or because they don’t know how to navigate the minefield between triggers and desired experiences. This workshop will address the unique challenges of exploring kink when you suffer from PTSD or C-PTSD, giving you the tools and knowledge you need to explore in a supported way while sparing your nervous system further stress. We will also dedicate a portion of the workshop to exploring the oft controversial decision to use BDSM to re-create traumatic circumstances from the past as part of the healing journey.

Join Headmistress Shahrazad for a unique inquiry into the ethical use of power within the practice of BDSM Domination (both Pro and Lifestyle).

TRC Munch

About:

Munches are BDSM socials held in a casual pub or restaurant, and are an opportunity for like-minded kinksters to meet, learn, eat great food, and create community.

The TRC Munch is a casual monthly social/educational event for kinksters of all stripes, hosted by The Ritual Chamber dungeon (but physically taking place at a local restaurant, location TBD). We offer a femdom-run, queer/trans positive, and sex worker friendly space that is open for all kinky and kink-curious humans to attend.

Evenings may include icebreakers, speakers, panels, discussion, and of course, plenty of social time.

Cost:

$10 in advance. Advance ticket purchase required. Do not just show up – if you’re not on our list you will be refused entry.

Rules:

• We have a zero-tolerance policy against racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, misogyny, and other forms of hate. Please come with an attitude of respect for all humans.

• Come dressed in casual street-wear. Shirts with non-explicit kink inferences are fine but fetish-wear is not.

• Don’t disturb those dining at the establishment who are not a part of our munch.

• No PDA or explicit kink play.

• All attendees are encouraged to purchase something to eat or drink so that we can support our host restaurant, which has had a difficult time through the pandemic. Please be kind to your waitstaff so we will be welcomed back in future.

• Don’t yuck another person’s yum. You may not be into the same kinks as your fellow attendees, but we ask that all participants have tolerance for each other’s differences.

• No pictures unless everyone in the frame verbally consents to the picture being taken/posted.

• Should there be another wave of the pandemic causing us to be unable to meet in person, we will pivot the munch onto Zoom for as long as necessary. We will follow public health recommendations in that regard.

• Organizers reserve the right to ask anyone to leave the event at their discretion should they be in contravention of the rules of the TRC munch.
