Breaking The Sound Barrier: (Course overview)

This presentation breaks through the mysticism of sounds on a female. Sound play on males is many a Domme's bread and butter. It is visually interesting for the voyeur as well as intensely stimulating for the male, whether it is simply urethral stretching with sounds, through vibration play, or more advanced electric play. The mysticism which surrounds playing with sounds on a female is a barrier few break through.

How do you do a workshop illustrating technique on a female urethra which remains largely veiled within and covered by the labia? Come find out and watch how the sound barrier is broken. Females are wired differently than males, and sound play, to be effective, must be uniquely suited to the female. Few females are playing with females using sounds, and even fewer male Doms are playing with females using sounds. This can prove to be very erotic play that goes beyond the simple medical table to heightened senses of arousal.

Dex will use a laptop, webcam, and LCD projector to bring the audience into the presentation by showing close-ups of the female urethra, sound insertion, and play techniques. Several audience volunteers will be needed to operate the camera and assist the presenter

Smudge and the Scene: Cleansing Your Space: (Course overview)

Smudging is an ancient technique that originates in several cultures. In our own country, American Indians used smudging to cleanse dwellings, the body, and weapons. Smudge can cleanse the spirit and unite souls for a journey together. As the smoke rises, two souls join on a flight together that drifts intertwined with the drifting haze. Connection of ancient rituals to the scene provides new meanings to old traditions. Come and learn of the ancient art forms and how smudging can prepare your space, implements, body and soul to fly.

Thise workshop is a discussion of the rituals and purification techniques involving smudging. A small bundle of white sage smudge will be lit, and a naked submissive and ritual knife will be smudged during the workshop. It will end with a ritual cutting purified by smoke
