HYBRID: BDSM and Mindfulness

Kink play often subtly incorporates aspects of mindfulness into the practice. Bringing these aspects to the forefront and emphasizing them helps with headspace, connecting to partners, and with connecting to your own body. If your "squirrel brain" tends to hijack your scenes, if you find yourself not having the emotional and energy connection to your partners, or if you want to deepen your practices, this class is for you!

PRESENTER:

Auntie Vice is a life-long kinkster. They write and teach from the submissive perspective. They have a Ph.D. in Political Psychology and a BA in Psychology. Much of their work involves understanding the psychological underpinnings on power dynamics, BDSM, gender, and disability. They run the award-winning sex blog LoveLettersToAUnicorn.com and the podcast Fat Chicks on Top. Their book, The Big Workbook for Submissives, was a 2018 finalist for the Golden Flogger Award.
