Mindful Bondage

A workshop designed to deepen your understanding of the brain’s responses to stimuli and how experiences shape reactions in intimate encounters. We will explore the origins of triggers, examining the neuroscience of emotional responses and learning to recognize them in ourselves and partners. Additionally, we will provide practical tools for managing triggers when they arise during play. Emphasis will be placed on consent and boundary-setting, alongside techniques for alleviating discomfort and enhancing emotional safety. The workshop will also introduce the concept of “positive triggers” aka “Glimmers” focusing on how positive stimuli can amplify pleasure and deepen trust within our play and dynamics.
