History of The Ritual Chamber
Acknowledgment of Land
The Ritual Chamber dungeon would like to acknowledge the land on which it has existed and thrived:
Tkaronto (Toronto, Canada), the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. It is currently home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.
Tkaronto is covered by Treaty 13, signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Founding and Vision
The Ritual Chamber was founded in 2014 by award-winning professional dominant and kink educator HM Shahrazad.
First Location: A spacious loft storefront in the West Junction area.
Second Location: The main floor of a century-old house in High Park.
These locations hosted countless power exchange fantasies within their authentic and immaculate themed rooms.
Shahrazad’s vision of elevating professional BDSM extended beyond creating an exceptional space. She hand-picked a team of professionals who were lifestyle players, personally invested in BDSM and kink. They:
Understood the challenges of embracing their desires.
Valued the psychological dynamics of power exchange.
Believed that consensual experiences should be greater than the sum of their parts, fulfilling both Dominant and submissive deeply.
The Team
Over a decade, 28 BDSM professionals (Dominants, submissives, and switches) were nurtured as house staff. Their unique contributions to the evolution of The Ritual Chamber are deeply appreciated.
