Some people find deep healing in playing within the shadows — exploring the edges of fear, surrender, and control in ways that restore agency and trust. Many people find great healing by stepping into these darker shadow realms and there may be an opportunity for you to examine scenarios.
This advanced workshop invites you to step into those depths safely, with guidance, structure, and care.
Building on Hands-On Intro to CNC: Lighthearted Interrogations, this evening delves into the emotional and psychological layers of Consensual Non-Consent (CNC).
We’ll explore how to bring intensity, realism, and vulnerability into scenes — while staying grounded in consent, communication, and aftercare.
This is a Level 2 class.
Completion of Lighthearted Interrogations (Intro to CNC) is required.
Tickets can only be purchased if you ALSO purchase a ticket for Lighthearted Interrogations (Intro to CNC)
Participants without foundational CNC training may be kindly turned away — it’s not personal; it’s about safety, readiness, and mutual trust.
• How to negotiate and scale intensity within CNC dynamics
• Recognize boundaries, freeze responses, and signs of overwhelm
• Design immersive interrogation scenes rooted in trust and imagination
• Maintain connection and safety while in character
• Use aftercare and debriefing to integrate emotional or somatic activation
This workshop includes discussion and roleplay around power, resistance, and psychological intensity.
All activities are fully consensual, guided, and optional.
You’re always free to pause, step out, or simply observe — your comfort and agency come first.
Facilitators will provide grounding, support, and aftercare to ensure an emotionally safe container.
This event may involve explicity s%xual contact for some participants. Of course this is non-obligatory but if you join us, you'll need to know it may be happening in the same room
