SUMMARY:“Kindness and Other Kinks” Class
DESCRIPTION:Jon (aka HiThereCatsuit) has been an ambassador in his communities by bringing people from all over together to share connections and experiences. They base their success on one thing… kindness.\nIn this workshop, Jon will discuss the difference between kind and nice and how that can make all the difference in the world in getting you the kind of play partners and relationships that you desire.\nBased on their Ted Talk, Jon’s deep dive into being kind discusses power dynamics in society and how turning those power dynamics around can make all the difference in the way people see you. From famous people to the person next door, you will be able to see how it’s the little things that make all the difference.\nWe will also talk about bringing kindness into scenes, which can be a lovely change of pace to a dynamic to heighten intense scenes and allow for breathing room. One important discussion will be the “notebook” scene which was performed at Winter Wickedness that is designed to help someone who is unsure of their place in the community, and welcomes them to a new world in a beautiful combination of words, impact, sensation, and beauty. We discuss Affection in Cruelty, where the lessons of pain become lessons of joy. Life changing ways to be kind to yourself through dominance and submission.\nEvery member of the class will receive one of Jon’s notebooks, which has been the key to connection with dozens if not hundreds of kinksters and colleagues. These notebooks are met with emotion and beauty unexpected for a simple gift, and he wants to share their magic with you.\nPresented at KinkyKollege, TES-NYC, Virtual Education Marathon Fundraiser, Coastal Carolina Fetish Fair, Spanksgiving Symposium (St. Louis), T3WC South Carolina Campout and Fetish Con 2023, Presenting in 2024 at KIC Events (Columbus, OH), The Grand Fetish Affair (Cincinnati) and Fetish Con 2024.\nMore comments from past classes:\n\n“I attended and stood in the back. So much of what you said really helped it click that there’s a place in kink for anyone.”\n“I was in your class on Saturday with a friend who is brand new to kink. I’m grateful that one of her first kink classes was yours.”\n“What an ambassador! Never doubt the number of lives you positively affect. I hope all of that love and kindness is reflected back at you. You do deserve it!”\n“This class is pure love. To anyone who missed it, I highly recommend making every effort to catch it sometime if you’re able. This was the only kink class in memory that caused me to tear up. Very moving and with important lessons to bring out into the world.thank you for inspiring me. I’m not normally a strong masochist, but hearing you talk about your birthday scene inspired me to ask for a tougher scene than I’ve ever had that evening. And it turned into the most incredible experience! It’s a memory I’ll treasure and I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring me!”\n\n\n
