Spoons, Tortoises, & Bad Chargers in Your Playbag (A Facilitated Discussion on Chronic Illness in BDSM, Kink and Leather)

We have chosen an alternative "lifestyle", but often our life chooses other things for us that impacts our journey and participation in Kink, BDSM, and Leather in a huge way. Chronic Illness happens - perhaps to you, perhaps your partner, maybe a friend, or sibling; but they are no less valid, and needed in our spaces because of it. There are inherent challenges to managing, ways to help, and ways to allow others to know how they can help you. Some of us are GREAT at these, some of us could always use some reminders. This class is an opportunity to be validated, validate others, share tips, tricks, even cautionary tales, ask questions, make a friend, and know you are seen. Feel free to join and listen if you are just trying to learn, please note this is a facilitated discussion class.
