SUMMARY:BR Gateway - August 2024
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.

SUMMARY:How Not To Become A Harm Doer with Savage
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nVery few harm doers set out to become one. Very few people expect someone they love or trust to be accused of harm. Yet communities seem to cycle through seasons of harm\, call out\, and silence\, often surprised and resistant to acknowledge when someone they or someone they care for are accused. If the harm doer is not me\, then how can I keep my community safe? If I could be a harm doer\, how do I know and what can I do to prevent it? Taken from the perspective of shame resilience research and human social group behavior\, this workshop will explore personal\, small group\, and community accountability approaches to understand harm as a behavior and interrupt cycles of harm before they become patterns and identity. \nPresenter Bio\n\nSavage (any pronouns) queermudgeon\, delightworker\, pleasure activist and Good Trouble. Savage is an embodiment specialist\, game designer\, storyteller\,and neurodivergent third culture nomad. They aspire to be a NPC Quest Giver\, but often find themselves dragged along on adventures\, or doing witchy cryptid things in the woods. Savage’s default world background in social work\, public health\, data design and systems transformation inform a habit of creating collaborative classes designed to teach complex concepts with fun and play. A decade plus in kink\, alt sex\, queer and spiritual communities blend with a science-minded approach to all the nerdy passions available\, though the breadth of topics can be overwhelming even to them\, such as teaching mindful deepthroat practices one day and ethics for private practice clinicians the next. Savage’s certifications in somatic bodywork approaches (somatic experiencing) and psychedelic-assisted interventions are part of a life of curiosity that somehow also finds time for cuddles\, inspiring erotica\, writing\, making weird art\, singing with gusto\, and tending the gardens of their friendships and communities. \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. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org

SUMMARY:D/s Discussion Group: Bratting in Power Exchange
DESCRIPTION:RSVP on Fet now! \nCome one and all to a group for the discussion of any and all topics D and s. This group is intended to be a resource for people of all levels of experience and\, as such\, everyone is encouraged to attend. Please bring all questions you may have about D/s\, M/s\, rituals\, victuals\, brats\, splats\, and mats. \nThe topic of tonight’s discussion is Bratting in Power Exchange Relationships. Bratting can be a controversial topic\, but it holds an important place in D/s. Often\, bratting is a way for submissive people to communicate needs and desires\, and some people make this an explicit part of their dynamic. Although there is a topic for the discussion\, this group is meant to be a place for sharing and we will not be strict about keeping to the topic. \nFor this event\, we will be hosting at the Thomas Jefferson Library in West Falls Church. We will be in Meeting Room 2. Light refreshments are permitted in the meeting rooms. \nPlease RSVP as Going if you want to go!

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!
