| When There is No Path - Blazing Your Own Trail in the Lifestyle |

We believe that it's a very different experience to take a vanilla relationship and twist it by adding BDSM than it is to take a relationship that began Day One as D/s and begin to incorporate vanilla life and everyday demands into it. It's a delicate balancing act no matter who you are, but the challenges and issues are very different depending on where and how you began, even if you ultimately are trying to reach the same goal of a "24/7" M/s or D/s lifestyle. The same things that will seem very normal to two people who began their interaction "vanilla" can cause heartache, disappointment and disruption in the dynamic of two people who began together as Dominant and submissive (and certainly vice versa).
This is a discussion workshop, where participants will be encouraged to openly share their own observations on how their original dynamic has impacted their unique journeys in the BDSM lifestyle, whether in past relationships or ones they are in today. The goal for this workshop is to give attendees more awareness of the paradigm shifts and communication skills needed to forge their own way in the Lifestyle and find what works best for their individual relationships, regardless of whether they meet the right person(s) for them on a vanilla basis or in the BDSM community. There may be no easy, well-traveled path before you - but we can help give you the tools, guidance and confidence to blaze your own trail.
