The Rope Collective’s High Protocol: Power Exchange Workshop

This is not a rope class—this is a deep, discussion-focused exploration of power exchange for those currently in or curious about high protocol D/s relationships and service-oriented dynamics.

Together, we’ll unpack what it means to create a strict yet compassionate dynamic rooted in structure, clarity, and care. Through guided conversations and a few light, reflective exercises, we’ll explore how to co-create rituals, rules, and expectations that feel authentic and empowering for both Dominant and submissive.

We’ll cover the core foundations of BDSM and power exchange—vetting, consent, negotiation, aftercare, safety, and ethical practices—and then dive into real-world applications: establishing protocol, giving and receiving service, navigating discipline and punishment, and using praise and ritual to reinforce connection and accountability.

This class is primarily theory and dialogue, with a strong emphasis on customization and intentional design. You are welcome to bring symbolic items like impact toys, outfits, or tools of service—but no rope instruction or play scenes will be part of this offering.

All experience levels are welcome. Come solo, with a partner, or just to listen and take notes—no participation pressure.
