Elevate your K1nk: Dark Desires

DARK DESIRES

Elevate your K¡nk Series

Step into the shadows of your mind and heart, where your darkest desires reside, waiting to be explored. Join Nix for a profound and daring workshop that delves into the allure of taboo and the power of intentional expression. In Dark Desires, you'll confront the edges of your yearning, strip away shame, and uncover the raw beauty within your shadow self. Learn how to communicate your deepest cravings with clarity and safety, craft evocative scenes that stir primal emotions, and provide the aftercare needed to navigate these intense spaces. This journey isn’t just about k¡nk—it’s about embracing the fullness of who you are (while being considerate of others).

✨ Giving Your Desires Permission: Understand why granting yourself permission to feel your desires is the crucial first step to exploring them fully.

🌑 Tuning Into Darker Desires: Dive into the roots of your desires without letting shame block your path to self-discovery.

💬 Communicating Desires Safely: Master techniques for expressing your darker desires while keeping psychological safety in mind for everyone involved.

🛠️ Planning Darker Scenes: Learn to create clear boundaries and mitigate harm through thoughtful risk management and scene planning.

❤️‍🩹 Aftercare Essentials: Explore aftercare practices that address both physical and emotional needs, ensuring a grounded recovery for all participants.

🔍 Examples of Evocative Scenes: Explore real-world examples of scenes that evoke dark emotions, from humiliation and fear to helplessness and anger.

This workshop will leave you with tools to locate and manifest your darker desires. You'll learn how to communicate about vulnerable and taboo wishes with others. In this workshop, as long as we navigate consciously and with integrity, we can make space for even our "sinful" sides.

We are having a 2-part evening of indulgence and learning. Come for the workshop and stay for the Jam to practice what you learned and meet other like-minded folks!

Discussion and Practical Exercises: The workshop will include a mix of discussions and hands-on exercises. You'll have the chance to interact with others, practice communication techniques, and receive feedback.

• Attend solo or bring someone along. Couples can stay paired or choose to practice with others.
• You’ll have opportunities to practice with both familiar partners and new acquaintances to replicate established dynamics and/or pickup scene scenarios.

• We won’t assign partners—guests are encouraged to connect at their comfort level.
