About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join Natasha Strange & Viola Parker, co-owners of Sub Rosa, for this discussion-based class that aims to bring more confident, informed dommes into the world. We encourage questions and active participation.

In FemDom Salon, we will dive into deeper discussion about building your dominance. How do we gain confidence and override our "be nice" internal dialogue to create healthy power exchange? How do we ensure that we and our submissives feel physically and emotionally safe?

We will go over topics including:

  • Dispelling myths about femdom.
  • Useful Femdom archetypes to help you determine your dominant style.
  • Negotiation, consent, and aftercare.
  • Scene-planning tips.
  • Verbal control, dirty talk, and building your lexicon around dominance.
  • How to know the difference between energy exchange, power exchange, and energy vampires.
  • Building and maintaining boundaries.

Who is this class for?

FemDom Salon is geared to women* and/or nonbinary folks at the early stages of exploring, seeking confidence, community, and to further develop their dominant power. This is a great introductory or add-on class for anyone who has attended (or plans to attend) our hands-on learning experience, FemDom Bootcamp. *Trans women are women! Sub Rosa is a trans-inclusive space and transphobia will not be tolerated.

The class is open anyone on either side of the D/s equation. Both solo attendees or duos are welcome (every attendee will need a ticket). This is not an event for single men, submissive or dominant. If you are a man and you coming to this event in a couple, you should understand that this event is geared toward the women/non-binary participants in the room. Male partners are welcome to listen and learn, and will definitely benefit from this discussion.
