SUMMARY:Healthy Hurting: BDSM with a History of Self Harm with AJ Renard
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nMany people find release in pain and can effectively use it as a coping mechanism to manage anxiety\, stress\, chronic pain\, and other challenges. This class focuses on discussing the differences between masochism and detrimental self-injurious behavior\, including the physical\, emotional\, and psychological effects of each. We will talk about interacting and providing support (whether it be intimate relationships\, kinky play\, or in a mental health setting) with people who need pain in their lives. \nPresenter Bio\nAJ Renard (she/her) has been involved in the BDSM world her entire adult life\, although she was a dark little thing far before that. AJ works in the mental health field and has a deep passion for teaching about BDSM and consent. She finds her happy place when there is rope\, electricity\, knives\, boots\, fear\, and a lot of crying involved. In her limited free time she makes custom chainmaille for her shop\, Foxy Feisty Redhead. AJ teaches a variety of classes about consent\, negotiations\, perspectives on D/s\, bottoming for intense scenes and edgeplay\, mental health and BDSM\, and behavioral science in PE dynamics. She also loves demo bottoming for Violet Wand demos\, and things that make her shy in front of groups of people. \n\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

SUMMARY:Defeat the Weasels: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and D/s w/ Meredith
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nRejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a little-understood aspect of ADHD that frequently co-occurs with anxiety. For submissives in relationships where behavior correction may be part of daily life\, the extreme emotional responses prompted by RSD can be even worse pain than a physical punishment. For Dominants with RSD\, the roller coaster ride of negative thoughts can damage self-confidence and the trust that is essential to safe play. Finding ways to listen to your partner instead of your brain weasels is a great reward personally and within the dynamic.\nPresenter Bio\nMeredith has been doing kinky stuff for nearly 25 years. She identifies as queer\, deaf\, polyamorous\, a masochist\, an s-type\, Leather\, and an educator – not in order\, but all at once. She has taught at events online and along the East Coast\, and enjoys finding the serious and silly edges of possibility. \n\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org

SUMMARY:Effective Negotiations with AJ Renard
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nNavigating negotiations can be difficult\, especially if one (or both) people are new to it. The negotiation part of any scene or relationship is incredibly important\, but is often passed over quickly because\, let’s face it\, it’s just not as fun as the other stuff! However\, being able to effectively negotiate and frame a scene or Power Exchange dynamic can keep both people safe and help prevent confusion and frustration in the future. We will discuss the importance and impact of an effective negotiation\, different types of negotiation\, and tools for navigating a negotiation when there is a significant experience or power differential. \nPresenter Bio\nAJ Renard (she/her) has been involved in the BDSM world her entire adult life\, although she was a dark little thing far before that. AJ works in the mental health field and has a deep passion for teaching about BDSM and consent.

SUMMARY:Topping and Bottoming with Disability: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nHow disability intersects with kink is something many of us are never taught early in our journeys\, including how being disabled or our play partners being disabled may inform how we top and/or bottom. What adjustments need to be made for a bottom that is hard of hearing or deaf? What happens if a top has limited mobility? What measures can be taken for tops and bottoms that experience sensory overwhelm? How can we include conversations about our disabilities when negotiating play? Through this panel discussion\, four kinksters bring their experiences and advice on navigating living with disabilities as tops\, bottoms\, and switches. \nThis panel discussion will not encompass all disabilities and experiences\, but is meant to help some folks start a dialogue and consider how going forward we can collectively normalize these conversations. \nPresenter Bio\n@Skeleton_Bitch (they/he/she)\, aka Lizzie\, aka Picasso of Pain\, is a disabled\, genderfluid dominant/sadist/artist and one of the hosts of the monthly queer-centered play party\, @qinkdc. They have been participating in kink since 2006 and part of the DMV kink community since 2022. They have been navigating the nuances of being kinky while living with multiple chronic illnesses and being autistic with ADHD (AuDHD) and what that means for them as a dominant\, top\, and organizer. \n@bluealienbarbie (she/her) a top-leaning switch who has been in the kink community for a little over 2 years. She has hearing loss and wears hearing aids. She had found that because of her hearing loss she has had to adapt to nonverbal communication in scenes\, both as a top and a bottom. \nAlice (She/Her)\, has been an active member of the kink community since 2019. She has found a passion for exploring the intersection of kink and neurodiversity\, particularly as an autistic individual. Through her journey\, she has delved into the intricacies of navigating the kink world while embracing her identity and experiences as an autistic person; with a specific focus on communication styles\, sensory experiences\, and boundary setting within kink dynamics. \nMeredith (she/her) is a Deaf queer cis woman who has been practicing kink since 2000. She is a longtime community educator and has presented at local and national events; in her professional life she is a disability activist and accessibility advocate. \n\n\nAll ticket sales are at the door.\n\nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

SUMMARY:Cathartic Scenes with Mr. Fox
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nFor many\, kink is about fun\, about pleasure\, about pain\, about growth\, about orgasms\, but sometimes\, it’s just about release. Not speaking about orgasmic release\, but that full-body\, mind-melting out the ears\, all browser tabs closed\, tears streaming down the cheeks\, body exhaustion cathartic release. Whether with the goal of pushing the body\, reaching a point of physical\, emotional\, and cognitive weightlessness\, or a controlled and deliberate introduction of hardship and ordeal\, cathartic scenes can be extremely intricate and can have profound results. Learn and discuss the potential ins and outs that are involved with this style of play outside of a formal ordeal setting. \nPresenter Bio\nMr. Fox (they/he) is a queer\, neurodivergent & disabled\, polyamorous kinkster with experience as a Dom\, sub\, and primal player. Beyond play\, Fox is passionate and nerdy about mental health education and advocacy\, community organizing\, and facilitating connection and growth.

SUMMARY:Tongue and Mouth Torture with Carmen Monoxide
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nWe tend to think of our mouths in terms of what they can do to other people. However\, the plethora of nerve endings and variety of tissues and textures make the mouth just as wonderful a target for sadism as the breasts or genitals. You’ll learn oral anatomy\, bondage\, impact\, fear play\, medical/blood play\, and other creative forms of oral sadism in this class. We then combine the skills in a delightfully depraved mini-scene to help get your creative juices flowing! Please note: there will be an announcement before we transition into medical and blood play so those who prefer not to see that portion of the class may step away. We will also announce when that segment is ending so that anyone who has departed can return for the scene and Q&A! \nPresenter Bio\n\nA former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy\, Carmen Monoxide (she/her) also works as a kink professional\, event organizer\, sex educator\, and relationship coach. She has presented for small\, medium\, and large events across North America. She founded Femme Fatale\, a kink event company\, and throws monthly parties in the Washington\, DC area. She sometimes takes her clothes off and performs onstage and on camera\, and is passionate about helping people overcome fear and shame in order to have authentic\, fulfilling\, sexy experiences. \n\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. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org.

SUMMARY:Disability Perspectives in Kink Panel Discussion with Lizzie
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThis panel on disability perspectives in kink has the purpose of fostering understanding\, inclusivity\, and empowerment within the kink community. By providing a platform for dialogue\, education\, and sharing of experiences\, we are aiming to dismantle stigmas\, address misconceptions\, and advocate for the rights and needs of individuals with disabilities in kinky spaces. Through discussions on accessibility\, consent\, adaptation\, and pleasure\, we hope these kinds of panels promote a more inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can explore and express their desires authentically\, regardless of ability. \nThis panel discussion will not encompass all disabilities and experiences\, but is meant to help some folks start a dialogue and consider how going forward we can collectively normalize these conversations. \nTo better accommodate attendees and participants with a variety of disabilities\, we are asking that attendees wear masks. Panelists will be at least 10 feet away from the audience and may choose whether or not to wear masks to accommodate those deaf/hard of hearing. \nPresenter Bio\n\n@Skeleton_Bitch (they/he/she)\, aka Lizzie\, aka Picasso of Pain\, is a disabled\, genderfluid dominant/sadist/artist and one of the hosts of the monthly queer-centered play party\, @qinkdc. They have been participating in kink since 2006 and part of the DMV kink community since 2022. They have been navigating the nuances of being kinky while living with multiple chronic illnesses and being autistic with ADHD (AuDHD) and what that means for them as a dominant\, top\, and organizer. \n\n@Mr_Fox (they/he) is a queer\, neurodivergent & disabled\, polyamorous kinkster with experience as a Dom\, sub\, and primal player. Fox is passionate and nerdy about mental health education and advocacy\, community organizing\, and facilitating connection and growth.

When not enjoying the suffering of others Alex works on the offensive side of computer security for a cloud provider\, enjoys running around in nature and sometimes indulging in his compulsion to get into places he’s not supposed to be. \n  \nA former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy\, @CarmenMonoxide (she/they) also works as a kink professional\, event organizer\, sex educator\, and relationship coach.
