PRESENTER:
Devyn Stone is a self-awareness and BDSM educator, author, and alternative lifestyles coach. He dreams of globetrotting and helping folx achieve the connections they desire, while they learn themselves more deeply.
He believes in diversity not division and actualizes that idea by promoting strongly affirming spaces and interactions. Devyn has a passion for giving and receiving education - his favorite topics are psychology, negotiation, consent, relationship construction, and organization.
His Quick Reference books covered affirming gender, creating protocol, negotiating authority in relationships, and more. (You may find his e-books at Wicked Grounds right here:

He is the Founder of Pragmatically Kinking, where members discuss the practical aspects of BDSM and THRIVE, a virtual conference dedicated to the intersection of mental health and BDSM.
Devyn has been actively practicing authority transfer dynamics since 2004. Today he lives in Dallas, TX with his property Guan Xuan, which is unquestionably devoted to his will and serves as his useful object. Devyn is an extrovert, a Sons of Anarchy fan, and a foodie.
