Class Description
(As we are entering this discussion of the intersection of BDSM, re-indigenizing and reclaiming and reclaiming culture, and spirituality we invite you to smudge and center before entering this space.)
Exploring BDSM through a lens of indigenous ideologies can be difficult. Learning to reindigenize and reclaim culture, spirituality, and fetishes is an art and skill. This class is an informal approach that will explore how to galvanize two seemingly polarized identities into one. This class is intended to engage, inform, and bring about discussion in hopes of broadening our understanding of kink.
