Master Penguin and slave ginna are the current Northeast Master/slave couple for 2022. They have been in a Master/slave relationship for more than 20 years and married over 25 years. They started in the community in the Norfolk, Virginia area, then moved to central Pennsylvania. Both Master Penguin and slave ginna were actively involved with WHIP, a BDSM group. During this time, they worked the "kinks" out of their relationship and their dynamic shifted from mostly in the bedroom to a TPE M/s relationship. Later, they became involved with different MAsT chapters and currently Master Penguin is the Director of MAsT: Gettysburg. slave ginna is also active in the community where she runs a s-type focused zoom call. They have presented at MsC, The M/s Gathering, and Twisting Culture as well as many MAsT chapters. They present on various topics including mental health, neurodiversity, long term relationships, goal planning, raising kids in a kinky home and more.

Being neurodivergent encompasses many areas of life. It can cause challenges with learning styles, perceptions in the world, and complicate mental health challenges. In this presentation, we will discuss how we have used protocols and rituals to build on our strengths and allow our dynamic to be setup for success while allowing ourselves to thrive and grow. We also discuss ideas to allow you to lean into your dynamic while navigating the challenges of the world while being neurodivergent.
