Class Description

Mental illness is the secret we hide in the closet; it has become the hush-hush of the Leather and kink community. Phrases like, "Don't put your dick in crazy," "Safe, sane, consensual," are all well-meaning but overshadowed by stigma. When we isolate and shun our community members as unsafe because of their diagnoses, we deny them sexual and spiritual liberation. Those living at the intersection of power dynamics and mental illness live with a unique set of barriers. From maintaining consistency to creating rituals that alleviate symptoms, the vastness of techniques can feel overwhelming in an already turbulent time. Our goal is to guide you through the process. We will discuss the transition to living with mental illness, the struggles of recovery, and the toolbox we use to maintain a positive, thriving power dynamic even with mental illness.

Presenter Bio

Sir Luke and His victor believe that relational alignment and empowerment begins with transformation of ourselves, intense and intricate shadow work, and radical self acceptance. As educators, their content centers edge forms of intentionally power imbalanced relationships, LBTQIA+ politics, accessibility, neurodivergence and mental health, and community care. They have reached diverse groups of folks across the globe through in-person, online, and synchronous presentations, panel participation, and mentorship.

Their dynamic is flavored with notes of consensual nonconsent, an extra dash of depravity, and an entire load of defilement. Through manifestation and magick work, they engage in a sacred exchange of will and surrender, combining Leathersex and bloodlust, intentional structure and discipline, and shared personal truth. Living on the edge and peering into the depths of the beyond opened the doors to empowerment and shared personal truth.

Sir Luke (He/Him/His) is a Master, Sadist, Daddy, and modern day vampire. He is also a queer, trans, and Jewish revolutionary who advocates for accountability, conscious wielding of power, and authentic expression of self. As a second-generation Leatherman, he emulates a fusion of tradition and rebellion, continuing the rich inherited Leather history through his activist work in the community. He serves as a mentor, guide, and confidant to folks on either side of the slash, focusing on redefining success and creating a path to self actualization.

victor (he/him/his) is a devoted slave who has chosen a life of surrender beneath the sacred space under Master Luke’s boot. he has a wealth of expertise and skills across many disciplines: everything from folding a fitted sheet or fixing a clogged drain, to more elegant skills like dancing and creating fine art. victor finds peace in being a useful, adaptable servant, and he has had the opportunity to educate countless folks regarding the radicalized embrace of empowered slavery, neurodivergence, and edge living.
