Authority Exchange / Power dynamics
|
"I'M FINE... but really I'm not" Let's Get Radical About the Truth
Being open and honest is essential in a power exchange dynamic, but sometimes it's easier to say "I'm fine" rather than sharing what may be upsetting you. But little white lies have a way of growing into resentment and frustration. How do we foster vulnerability and forgiveness to have the difficult conversations that help us grow in our dynamics? Together we will discuss skills and practices that help encourage honesty at all times through the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness. Master Leather Redux and Raea will share both their personal challenges and successes with radical honesty and forgiveness. Additionally, they will share how the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness helps to heal older wounds around shame and guilt that may be getting in the way of alignment in our dynamics. "Unpack Your Bags and Heal Together" Using Trauma Informed Approaches for Mutual Healing It’s not uncommon for us to have some amount of personal baggage from past relationships and experiences, and it isn’t easy to unpack our bags. So how do we go about doing it and how do we support our partners through that process? In this presentation, we will discuss how we can unpack our baggage together to move towards stronger and healthier power exchange dynamics. Master Leather Redux and Raea will both share their personal experiences and path in self-exploration. Additionally, Raea will share some insights on trauma informed practices that may be helpful in unpacking our bags. "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT... " Non-Violent Communication Practices for Hot Topics In every relationship there are times that you just don’t want to talk about something even when you really should. In power dynamic or authority transfer relationships, not discussing topics can be damaging or erode trust. But how do you go about having those conversations, especially when talking about hard emotions which can be a challenge? Together we will discuss skills and practices that aide in deescalating arguments through compassion and understanding utilizing non-violent communication and radical honesty principles. Master Leather Redux and Raea share how they've learned to share space with one another to be able to talk through arguments and tough emotional topics. |
"I Guess I'll Just Do It Myself..." Finding the Middle Way in Radical Honesty
It's always hard to ask for what we want, but in power dynamics or authority transfer relationships, it can get even more challenging no matter what side of the slash you are on. How do you work to communicate with one another to share your needs and wants while also honoring where each other are at rather than where you want them to be? In this class and discussion, Master Leather Redux and Raea will share their own path to finding the middle way in radical honesty and acceptance. In addition, they will go over practical solutions and practices to help one another navigate a space of honesty and acceptance within a power dynamic or authority transfer relationship. "Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want" Finding Your Way Through Power Dynamics Negotiation is a key communication tool to discuss just about anything. In Power Dynamics, they can help with everything from ensuring everyone gets their needs met to introducing new topics or forms of play, or to even just decide the little things like what’s for dinner or how should the clothes be folded. In this class, we will discuss and share with one another how we use negotiation in our dynamics — What helps? What hinders? What surprises have we learned about our own negotiation styles? Service On Both Sides of the Slash The idea of service can be hot and enticing especially for those of us into power dynamics. But it’s important for us to understand our motivations for service, what it means personally, and what do we gain from it. Service should be rewarding and fulfilling and when it’s not it can become disappointing and frustrating. In this class we’ll go over what service is and is not, how to provide service, and the benefits of service. Spilling the Tea on High Protocol Tea Services & Ceremonies Ever wonder what a high protocol tea service entails? Curious about different types of tea service? Join Raea & Master Leather Redux as they go over the ins and outs of high protocol tea service and ceremonies.
