This class will discuss how to understand and incorporate protocol into your daily life and play.

We will explore The Protocol Intensity & Frequency Continuum, Reasons for Protocol, Your Individualized & Unified Purposes, and theThree Tenants of Protocol.

We will focus on three specific areas: Constant vs. Situational Protocol, Postures and Service.

We will also discuss how to determine what amount of protocol is right for you and explore the varying needs of different dynamics while touching on interruptions and distractions, the hazards of over-reaching, and the best way to get back on track.

 

We have also created a supplemental Guide for this particular class. It is available for Instant Download Purchase on Etsy and includes two worksheets: Postures and Sympols of Service.

In this class, we will discuss how to utilize non-verbal communication in your relationship, play and daily interactions.
We will discover what Body Language and Para-language are, why they are so important to our communication as well as some tips and strategies for becoming more proficient in their use.

Through discussion and demonstration of these concepts we will:

• Introduce you to being receptive to seeing and using body language and paralanguage more often and with better results.
• Increase your emotional awareness and understanding of micro-expressions.
• Explain emotional leakage and why it can be okay!
• Show you how to use body language during play to achieve your desired goals.
• Illustrate how kink can be particularly complex when it comes to body language.
• Give you the tools to recognize and overcome non-verbal hazard points and limitations.

Join us as we discuss how these concepts are applied to BDSM play activities and how accurately employing them can lead to some seriously hot scenes!

Submissives will be given a worksheet of topics and questions that they can write in during the class and take home for further guidance. We will focus on communication, feelings, courses of action, play/activity initiations and appreciation.

During the Mastering Mastery portion of the class, we will delve into the reality of the journey for those who seek to know more about what it can mean to be a BDSM Master.
Our journey through the Dominant’s portion of this class will begin with the tools and practices that aid in a rigorous process of self examination into our desires, needs, and fears. Next, will discuss what is expected of us, by ourselves and others and our motivations to meet and exceed those expectations.
Finally, we will model optimal behaviors in scenarios that are common among those on the journey of Mastering Mastery including:

• Healthy reception of a submissive’s desires, needs and fears as well as proactive communication of your desires, needs and fears to a submissive.
• Managing the rules and daily responsibilities of the team.
