2011 Presentation:


Pain and Pleasure: Physical Sensations, Spiritual Transcendence
While many involved are all about the sensations of pleasure and pain, few understand the nature and the dynamism of both. Many speak of or experience "subspace" without quite understanding its genesis. This class was developed to afford an understanding of both. From an introduction to the neurobiology and the physiology of pain and pleasure, to the appreciation of the historical significance of pain, to the exploration of various techniques, to incorporating aspects of Tantra, Yoga, and meditation, visualization and rhythmicity, to gaining an appreciation of spiritual expanse.
This is a comprehensive workshop of how pain and or pleasure can transmute and transcends to the spiritual ecstasy. Attendees will gain a greater understanding of not just what we do, but a broader appreciation of why we do, and where it can take ultimately transport us.

2008 Presentations:

Fear THIS!
You know the feeling, that tightening in your gut, the dry mouth, feeling your heart pound in your chest as your breath comes quicker??? It’s fear. You can feel it, you can see it, and you can smell it. This workshop will teach you to understand fear, not just as an endpoint but also as a means to an end. This workshop will explore various techniques as to how the creation of fear can be used as a basis or as an enhancement of play.

Medical Information for the Scene and the 411 on 911
What is a medical emergency? When do you call 911? What do you say? What do you do until they arrive? How (or do you) amend your play in order to play safely with those who have chronic medical conditions? What personal medical information should be shared and when and how and why and with whom? With the proper information, participants in this workshop will have a better understanding of how chronic and emergent medical conditions can influence play.

CUPPING
Common to both Eastern and Western ancient cultures, cupping goes back thousands of years. In combination with fire, it has transcended from an ancient medical treatment to a new age/alternative medicine therapy that has various applications to SM play. This will be a hands-on workshop on how a little cup and a little flame can produce a lot of sensations.

2004 Topics:
Ooooooooh Yeeeeeesssss (Understanding and Achieving Better Orgasms) An interesting approach to orgasms: what it is, how it happens, and how it can be made a longer and more intense experience. From understanding orgasms, to multiple orgasms (for women and men, yes that's right men) and "mental orgasms", to extended orgasms, this is a demo that incorporates anatomy, physiology, safety, tantric and kundalini yoga, meditation, visualization and humor to reach that bliss. Handouts available.

CBT When we hear or see the term CBT, if we're not thinking "computer based training" we think "torture" and that usually makes legs cross and squint a bit. Caro is back to present CBT, an "owners and operators" manual. Whether you own the equipment or just play with it, there's a lot to know. The workshop will cover basic anatomy, physiology, why, how, where (and why-nots, how-nots" and "where nots" of CBT. It also includes information on "toys" and "games". The focus will be on creating intense and pleasurable sensations for male genitalia. If CBT is something you've thought about but know little about, this is a place to get information. If you know about it and want to learn more, this is also a place for you. Handouts will be available.
