SUMMARY:BR Gateway - January 2026
DESCRIPTION:Black Rose (BR) Gateway is a great way to get a lot of information about the local kink community before you commit any unintentional faux pax because everyone (except you) knew about the community and social expectations. \nWe cover topics ranging from from Consent to Privacy\, Negotiations to Aftercare\, and ensure that everyone is aware of our aggressive stand against certain types of behaviors. You can learn more about what you can expect from BR Gateway by reading: \n\n\n\n\n\nThinking about attending Black Rose Gateway (overview of the program)\nGateway Attendee FAQ\n\n\n\n\n\nBR Gateway and Dungeon 101 work together like a lecture/lab combination class; you can get a lot from attending either one\, but you can get a lot more by attending both. \nGateway is in person at The Crucible.  \n\nBR Gateway entry is only available for purchase at the door; Dungeon 101 tickets are the same. You cannot purchase D101 entry at BR Gateway. \nASL Interpreters are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks notice. \nEmail gateway@br.org for more information about this program\, or info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its other events.

SUMMARY:Dungeon 101
DESCRIPTION:Dungeon 101 serves as an introduction into public BDSM play. If you have never attended a public BDSM play event\, it can be a bit daunting. The Dungeon 101 class is specifically designed to make you feel comfortable at your first public BDSM dungeon event. Attendees and presenters come from a diverse cross section of the community\, all orientations\, genders and kinks are welcome. You are welcome to come alone\, bring a friend or bring a bunch of friends. \nFrom 7:30 until 8:00 PM will be social time. Starting at 8:00 PM\, there will be a talk on scene etiquette and an opportunity to learn about the dungeon itself. Directly following will be a “Exploratorium” event until 11:00 PM where you can try and/or experience many different kinds of play scenes. The idea is for it to be a fun evening for everyone! \nNo advance tickets are available for this event –  please plan to arrive early and pay at the door. \n  \n$10 with Gateway card\,\n$25 members with membership card\,\n$35 all others \nMore experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for Open Play. We ask that everyone except presenters keep their toy bags put away until Open Play starts to avoid confusion. No scenes or play permitted during the Exploratorium. \n  \nThis is an outreach event\, you do not need to be a BR or Crucible member to attend. \nIn order to foster a learning environment\, there is no sex allowed at Dungeon 101\, and no alcohol is sold. This applies all night\, even during open play after the Exploratorium has concluded. \nYou must be at least 18 years of age. Government-issued photo ID required for entry.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: The Architecture of Aftercare with ChaoticElle
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nDue to inclement weather\, this class has been rescheduled for May 19. \nClass Description\nAftercare is a deliberate and collaborative process that begins before the scene and extends long after it ends. In this class\, we will explore physical\, emotional\, and psychological dimensions of care across roles\, bodies\, and dynamics. Whether you’re topping\, bottoming\, switching\, or playing solo\, you’ll leave with concrete strategies for planning and negotiating meaningful aftercare. We’ll also address time-delayed needs\, communication challenges\, and making care plans specific to you and your scene.  \nPresenter Bio\nChaotic Elle (she/they) is the founder of The SexEd We Missed\, where they offer inclusive pleasure-focused sex education through 1:1 coaching\, workshops\, and community learning spaces. Elle holds a Master’s degree in Sexual Health and brings years of experience teaching both vanilla and kink-focused content. They’ve led sessions at kink camps\, consulted with sexual health nonprofits across the globe\, and trained medical professionals on how to have better conversations about sex. Their teaching blends evidence-based info empowerment\, care\, and a commitment to unlearning shame—whether they’re talking about pain\, power\, pleasure\, or the messy in-between. \n\nTo minimize disruption\, there will be no admittance after 8:30. \nThis is not a play party. Do not attempt to engage in scenes or solicit others for play\, except for labbing as part of a workshop-style class. \nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org
