Impact Basic Block 1: Applied Consent

Impact Basics Block 1:

Applied Consent in Impact

This Impact Basics Block is the first module in the Impact Basic Blocks series and the foundation module of the Impact Learning Path. Come explore how consent gets articulated and how it’s applied in impact play negotiations. What is and what is not BDSM, what is and what is not play. What’s the difference between a dominant and a top? A submissive and a bottom? 

What is a breach of consent? It’s not necessarily about something happening that wasn’t negotiated - it’s often about the way you both deal with these mishaps.  We’ll discuss what to do, not if, but when something goes in an unexpected direction in your impact play; how do you come back from this, can you come back from this? 

We will also demonstrate play from scene negotiation through to aftercare so you see how active consent is applied in impact play.

She’s been a regular feature at several explos and open house events since 2018. There, she can be found running her impact station, introducing attendees to the wide world of impact play, both giving or receiving. She creates a fun, welcoming and informative atmosphere that encourages participation and fosters a better understanding of safe, sane and consensual impact play.

She became an impact educator in 2022. In her classes, open labs and workshops, she guides participants through various activities, providing an interactive, hands on approach to learning safety in impact play and having fun with it. She makes sure that each participant progresses in their impact learning journey, refining and expanding their skills with their hands, floggers, canes, paddles etc.

In her hands, just about anything has the potential to be an impact toy.
