SUMMARY:Intensive: Elevation: The Art of Impact with CarmenMonoxide
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nPlease join us on Saturday\, September 5th from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM for Black Rose Education Intensive Series: The Art of Impact with CarmenMonoxide!\n! \nIntroducing the Black Rose Education Intensives Series\nBlack Rose Education Intensive Series is a new quarterly program built for deeper dives into kink. These extended sessions pair in-depth instruction with hands-on practice and lab time\, creating space for intentional learning and skill development beyond a single evening class. \nSchedule\n1:00 pm: Doors open\n1:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Deep Impact\n3:00 – 3:30 pm: Break\n3:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Advanced Scene Planning\n5:00 – 6:00 pm: Labbing \n  \nIntensive Class Descriptions\nClass 1: Deep Impact\nIf you crave deep thuddy sensation\, are seeking more extensive bruising\, or want your partner to feel how much you care about them all the way down to their bones\, this class is for you! Carmen will discuss marking\, anatomical and safety concerns for scenes with deep thud\, as well as general best practices and techniques. We’ll demonstrate intense rough body\, how certain types of bondage and body positioning can help strikes penetrate further into the body\, and which toys and pervertables can be enlisted to bring that extra oomph to your impact. \nClass 2: Advanced Scene Planning\nPlanning and executing a high-concept scene can take a lot of thought and effort. This class will help participants looking to gain confidence with preparing and executing an intense or important scene by walking attendees through how to analyze\, negotiate and plan. Participants should plan to bring a scene idea to workshop. An experienced instructor will help attendees refine their scene concepts and collaborate with other participants to leave class with a solid idea of how to make their fantasy a reality. \nPresenter Bio\nA former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy\, Carmen Monoxide (she/they) 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\, as well as for university and health care institutions. 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\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 $15 for Crucible Members and $20 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \nInterested in teaching for Black Rose?\nPlease submit your presenter and class information here.\n*Please note that all potential presenters are subject to vetting.* \nHave Feedback for Our Classes?\nPlease submit your anonymous feedback here! \n\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 \n

SUMMARY:Rage\, Anger Based Scenes and Ordeals: Working with Rage and Anger with MonsingorX
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nClass Description\nThis class will discuss a variety of ways to play with rage to a positive result with a touch on spiritual elements\, and various pitfalls and concerns. The class will include examples of multiple ordeals\, risks and various methods for dealing with anger in scene. \nPresenter Bio\nMonsignorX has been involved in BDSM for over 20 years primarily\, but not exclusively\, in submissive roles. He tends to be very philosophical in nature and teaches as much to learn from those who attend as to lecture. Over the years\, he has taught a number of male submissive oriented classes such as: THE GENTLEMAN SURRENDERS TO THE LADY\, Spiritual Archetypes for Submissive Men\, and Rage\, Strength and Spirituality. He believes strongly that submission is a form of power and in all sides of a relationship having boundaries and power. \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

SUMMARY:I Want To\, But I Can’t with Meredith
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \n\nClass Description\nIt’s easy to get frustrated when our desires don’t align with our physical or mental capacity. Submissives may long to endure more pain or provide specific acts of service\, dominants may want to top at a certain intensity level or engage in specific forms of control – but chronic illness\, pain\, disability\, fatigue\, neurodivergence\, trauma responses\, and mental health challenges can get in the way. We’ll explore the grief\, shame\, and vulnerability that arises when this happens\, and discuss practical adaptations\, communication strategies\, and creative renegotiation. Attendees will examine internalized ableism and self-induced pressure to “perform\,” and leave with tools to honor ourselves and our partners exactly as we are. \nPresenter Bio\nMeredith has been doing kinky stuff for over 20 years. She identifies as queer\, a masochist\, an s-type\, Leather\, and an educator. She has been on staff for Black Rose since 2015 and is currently the director of the BR Gateway program. \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

SUMMARY:New and Curious Kinksters
DESCRIPTION:Black Rose’s New and Curious Kinksters (or NaCK)\, is a discussion group designed for people who are new(ish) to the scene. While we highly recommend all new kinksters check out Gateway (the first/last Thursday of each month – always the day before D101) and Dungeon 101 (the first Friday of each month) and come with questions about their experiences\, it is not required\, and we welcome anyone new to kink. Please note NaCK is for asking questions\, there will be no presentation or monologuing. \nWe meet the 4th Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8:00pm. We are going to try out having virtual NaCK. I know many of us have Zoom fatigue\, but this is a more responsible approach. We’ll chat about whatever comes up – everything from “what do I wear to the club?” to “I had this great scene\, but this part didn’t go well. What do you suggest?” NaCK has a rotating group of experienced kinksters come in to answer questions\, so the discussion is always a little bit different\, and we aim to provide a variety of answers from different D/s roles\, genders\, races\, and backgrounds. \nIf you are still in the beginning of your kink journey\, we hope you’ll come join us to ask questions and share advice. We’d love to have you!

SUMMARY:New and Curious Kinksters
DESCRIPTION:Black Rose’s New and Curious Kinksters (or NaCK)\, is a discussion group designed for people who are new(ish) to the scene. While we highly recommend all new kinksters check out Gateway (the first/last Thursday of each month – always the day before D101) and Dungeon 101 (the first Friday of each month) and come with questions about their experiences\, it is not required\, and we welcome anyone new to kink. Please note NaCK is for asking questions\, there will be no presentation or monologuing. \nWe meet the 4th Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8:00pm. We are going to try out having virtual NaCK. I know many of us have Zoom fatigue\, but this is a more responsible approach. We’ll chat about whatever comes up – everything from “what do I wear to the club?” to “I had this great scene\, but this part didn’t go well. What do you suggest?” NaCK has a rotating group of experienced kinksters come in to answer questions\, so the discussion is always a little bit different\, and we aim to provide a variety of answers from different D/s roles\, genders\, races\, and backgrounds. \nIf you are still in the beginning of your kink journey\, we hope you’ll come join us to ask questions and share advice. We’d love to have you!

SUMMARY:BR Gateway - November 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.
