Over dit evenement
Being dominant doesn’t come easily for many women and fem-aligned people. In kink and play, dominance is often imagined as “doing” things to another person in order to create an experience for them. Doing can feel safer than simply inhabiting authority.
But dominance is more than technique, performance, or intensity. It is also about being. It is pacing, attention, presence, restraint, and the ability to hold a space with very little.
In this workshop, we slow down and strip domination to its basics. Together, we explore how to embody dominance in a more grounded, minimalist, and relational way, beyond pornified clichés and performance pressure.
We work with the idea that sometimes less creates more: less action, less force, more effect.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You are new to kink and/or you have been curious about dominance and don’t know where to start
- You don’t find your dominant expression in the “mean dominatrix” trope
- You want to learn how to lead without force
WHAT WE EXPLORE
- Dominant presence (body language, attention, stance)
- Power dynamics without performance
- Attention as a dominant tool
- Consent and pacing
- Somatic cues in D/s
- Working with a submissive safely and intentionally
WHAT IT IS NOT
This is not a technique-focused femdom workshop.
We focus on somatic skills and embodied dominance rather than technical skills or impact play.
WHAT TO EXPECT
10:30 to 13:00: The Embodied Dominant (open to women and fem-aligned only)
14:00 to 17:00: Minimalist Dominance Practice (open to women, fem-aligned people, and their practice partners)
- A workshop with talk based and experiential exercises.
- Embodied consent practices.
- Partnered exercises (in duo’s and groups).
The afternoon part (Minimalist Dominance Practice) is open to women and fem-aligned participants, and their practice partners (play partners, life partners or friends), of all genders. When a practice partner purchases a ticket, please specify whose practice partner you are (by sending me an email at lavinia@scarsandroses.com).
It is not mandatory to come with a partner for this part, in which case you can practice with other single participants, if consensually agreed.
This is not a space for unaccompanied cis-men. Tickets purchased by single cis-men will not be reimbursed.
WHAT TO BRING
- Comfy clothes (think yoga class) and water bottle. Some light snacks will be provided.
- Optional: A simple play object (e.g. blindfold, fabric, soft flogger, or other sensorial item). These are simply tools for exploration and there is no expectation of use.
- Please avoid perfume, essential oils, or scented products. We are keeping the space breathable and scent neutral.
