“Rules Set Us Free”: Introduction to High Protocol with Athena Kali
You've explored dominance and submission, but you crave a structured setting where you can ignite your deepest desires and delve into the riches of a D/s dynamic. Let us introduce you to the world of D/s Protocol, often referred to as High Protocol dynamics.
This class is intended to be inclusive of all individuals, couples, and all relationship configurations. We welcome folx of all gender identities and sexual identities. All D/s styles and experience levels are invited.

Attendees for this class will receive an invitation to attend the Private Party the following night. (tickets are a la carte and per person)
High Protocol is a set of codified rules for Dominants and submissives designed to fully embrace a power exchange dynamic, with strict structure for eye contact, positions, eating, service, use of the submissive's body, and more.
In this class, we'll explore the history and modern iterations of protocol experiences, delve into the basic philosophy and principles of structured environments for hosting or playing privately with protocol, and learn how to apply a foundational set of principles to create your own connection. This class will include hands-on participation through discussion and learning & practicing positions and is recommended if you plan to attend the High Protocol party on Saturday as a primer to the rules & rituals of that environment.
For this class you will need:
-An open mind
-Comfortable attire to move in if you'd like to learn the standard positions
-Notebook and pen
Doors at 6:00
Formal Class 7-8:45(ish)
Space will remain open until 11:00 to enjoy as you like
