Master Z became the inheritor of the spiritual workshops that have been part of Master Steve Sampson's repertoire.

This particular workshop will explore the use of modern primitive ritual in SM. It includes a ritual that is based on actual pagan style rituals found in many cultures to induce emotional and spiritual release and union using temporary body piercing.

This workshop demonstrates flogging from the rudimentary principles of this Sm practice to advanced cathartic flogging delivered with Love and Power and without personal intent.
