About our program:

This class theme may be the best example of when psychology and the physical combine in Kinky activities. We will discuss and demonstrate tension building techniques, negotiations for this somewhat slippery area, and how to create a believable illusion while also remaining safe and within negotiated limits. Participants should prepare to be teased a bit, be unsure of outcomes, and live in anticipation for a while. People have been known to laugh a lot in Master Mark’s classes. This time along with humor be prepared for some “ohhhh!!”s, “Yikes”, “Oh no!!”s and “Uh oh”s as well. As always there will be plenty of opportunity for class participation. (in fact in some cases it will be mandatory!!! [just kidding…. or perhaps not?]) This class will almost assuredly have something for everyone Dom/sub/switch, couples, and the curious. Expect a fair amount of surprises, and most of all come ready to have fun.

About our presenter:

Master Mark M.A has been tying people up, pulling hair, kidnapping fair maidens, suspending people and wielding all manner of nasty implements for 35 years as a Stage Combat Choreographer and Teacher. Mark is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He is also a Kink Aware Professional. He has been active in the BDSM Lifestyle for 11 years and has been counseling alternative lifestylers since becoming a mental health professional in 1993. He has a California State Teaching Credential in Theater Arts, and he brings all of this knowledge and experience to the BDSM lifestyle for the purpose of augmenting and creating safer kinky play. Mark’s classes usually involve a good mix of discussion and demonstration, with plenty of opportunities for practice and participation from attendees.

After Master Mark’s presentation, please join us as we head to Wicked Grounds for a post program gathering at our favorite kinky coffee shop. Make new friends, grab a beverage and a snack and support a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood.
