Negotiation Basics & Beyond: Power, Consent, and Meta-Negotiation

The collaborative skill and practice of negotiation is a foundational and essential component of a BDSM or kink scene or dynamic. In this seminar, we’ll cover the basics while also going further, discussing how to approach consent before consent protocols are in place, how to negotiate our very negotiation practices, and how to navigate complex and sometimes non-obvious power dynamics in play before, during, and after our negotiation processes.
