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. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@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. She finds her happy place when there is rope\, electricity\, knives\, boots\, fear\, and a lot of crying involved.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - 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!
