Hello, my name is slave joy, she/her pronouns please. I am a student of life on an open-minded journey of self-discovery and growth to be my best self. I am a strong open-hearted spiritual woman, have a few soul parts that are that of a soft feminine baby girl, but most of all what drives my life passion at the core of my very being is that i am a joyously loving slave. I have come to understand in my soul knowing that my slavery is an orientation, just like my pansexuality. It is simply who I am.

I seek to learn, grow, and be my best slave self while supporting those in our community the best I can. Since a young age, my service heart has been my purpose-filled grounding anchor. My life is a work of service to the earth and her children’s healing and my Master’s highest good.

Being unable to forgive ourselves and others for a past mistake, or a collective wrongdoing can lead to physiological, spiritual and mental or emotional damage. Drawing from teachings on accountability and forgiveness as a guiding principle towards justice and healing, Eleven supports small groups to meet and see each other as flawed and imperfect creatures, good enough to belong despite these undeniable truths. Within an intimate container of small group ‘break outs’, participants craft the specific answers to questions that explore possibilities for making amends within our intimate relationships. Developing practices of accountability and installing them in our bodies can facilitate a shift in the landscape of mental wellbeing and community resilience necessary for these troubling times.

Consensual bondage play has long been known to elevate sensation and sexual pleasure, but what role does it play in mental health? Socially-acceptable restraints such as weighted blankets and napping hoods have recently become popular antidotes to panic attacks, insomnia and depression. Through video, slideshow and group discussion, we will examine immobility and sensory deprivation from a BDSM standpoint, exploring the physiological effects present in a wide range of bondage experiences.  How do different bondage practices, positions, materials, textures, levels of pressure and degrees of sensory deprivation affect the nervous system? From a mental health perspective, how do our everyday freedoms stifle us, and how can bondage set us free?

We often hear about power, but struggle to identify what it looks like, or what a safer, healthier power dynamic looks like. This class aims to discuss how to recognize unsafe power pulls and identify one’s own power type.

Many 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.

We often associate humiliation with feeling ashamed about our bodies or mind. For those who struggle with body image, that can mean not wanting to engage in humiliation play. But what if you really like being squirmy, shy, and embarrassed in front of people? What if you really want to explore humiliation in a positive way? The reality is that humiliation can be achieved in many different ways, and different tactics make different people “tick.” This class delves into the ways that positive and even affirming language can be used to create humiliation scenes where the bottom doesn’t have to worry about feeling ashamed of their body or intellect.

Neurotypical expectations and social norms are rampant in basic power exchange education.  It is often one of the many reasons why folks with neurodivergent minds doubt the path they find themselves on.  This is particularly challenging when one is shifting from a kink life where playspaces dictate rules to a 24/7 power exchange dynamic and YOU are the one making the rules.  Where does one start? How does one communicate to a potential slave how your mind works?  In this hour we will discuss:
My challenges as a Master with ADHD
How to communicate our challenges to those we are in charge of
How to serve and support your ND Master
Join me as we explore alternative options for contracts, expectations, rules and pathways towards finding a unique dynamic structure that will set up both the Master and slave for success.

I once had a therapist say to me that living in relationships that exchanges authority was a slippery slope for me.  I have found that the bags I carry are quite heavy.  At times managing the weight of them while choosing to surrender can indeed be daunting.  In this discussion, I will share some of the challenges I have had living as somebody who surrenders while managing abuse derived from childhood and previous relationships.  I will also speak about the ways I have learned to overcome my struggle so that I can live with joy in surrender.  I invite attendees to join in the discussion and share the fulfillment we feel in surrender, the roadblocks in the way, and how we overcome them.

We are each human in interestingly different ways and how we respond to life circumstances has a huge impact on our physiological, spiritual and emotional wellbeing, leading to shifts and changes in our mental health. Hormone fluctuations, disease, chronic illness or traumatic events can have significant but shorter-term impacts on our mental health.
Sharing their struggles with menopause and cancer treatment, Tomo and Eleven provide a foundation for participants to share their own stories of how mental well-being is effected by crisis and offer transformative possibilities to support deep adaptation.
