Black Queer Dom in Conversation: Protocols & Power Exchange - A Space for People of Colour

Sat Mar 9, 18:00 - Sat Mar 9, 20:00

Unit G19, Embodiment Rope Space

ABOUT

Introduction to Protocols and Power Exchange


A power exchange is more rigidly defined term sometimes in the BDSM world. Partners discuss and negotiate who has what role and what that role looks like to them. A submissive will tell the Dominant what they will and won’t submit to and a Dominant has to agree to those terms to make it work. It’s a consensual negotiation process and depending on the level of power exchange, could involve a little or a lot of control. Power exchange is also the basis of all BDSM play. One person agrees to submit to the activity and the other agrees to be in control.

FOR WHO?

This space is for our community members of colour. Allies to sit this one out <3

 

Couples, throuples and more-uples are welcome! As are singles. Come as you are.

 

This is a pay-what-you-can event! You can come for free, or buy a ticket! (thank you BQD for making this possible!)

WHAT TO EXPECT

Join us for a night of learning, fun, discovery and play with @blackqueerdom! BQD will be facilitating a space for bodywork, and demonstrating some of their favourite protocols for power exchange. You will be invited to absorb the information presented in these demonstrations, and practice some of their techniques within your own dynamic. They will also be demonstrating some fire play! All we can say is... it's going to be LIT!

EMBODIMENT

Embodiment Rope Space is a welcoming and safe(r) space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We practice rope and shibari communally and host occasional workshops for upskilling the community. Rope/Shibari is never safe, there are only ways to do it more safely.

We have limited treated rope from Sudo Jute for sale and safety shears. Non-alcoholic drinks (Soft drinks, water, tea, coffee) will also be for sale. 

OUR TEAM

Embodiment Rope Space is the love child of a group of volunteers from different walks of life coming together to actualize something we think the world needs: a queer safe(r) space for exploring kink as a healing, connective force.
