How to Identify and Develop new play partners and life partners from outside the scene, for both Dom/mes and subs.

Sometimes your next play partner or life partner comes from the vanilla world.

There are a lot of people out there who would be into Sm, M/s or D/s, but don't know it yet.

Perhaps they haven't had proper exposure, or been approached effectively.

This workshop covers specific techniques to identify, cultivate, and develop new BDSM talent.

You'll learn:  

- how to spot inclinations and proclivities, even in people who don't know they have them;  

- how to introduce BDSM to someone who may not be knowledgeable about the community or lifestyle;  

- how to grow your own Master, slave, Dominant, submissive, Sadist, or masochist.

“Grow Your Own” is part of the Paideia series of monthly BDSM/leather events / playshops mainly for those of intermediate or advanced experience.  The format intends to combine the best elements of hands-on workshops, a munch, and a peer workshop.  More than a dozen topics are covered in these playshops, on both common and exotic topics.  We have a core study group who increase the depth and breadth of their play each month, as well as have fun together.
