BDSM* Level 1
Fundamentals, Safety and First Experiences
Service Description
📍 February 1st, Sunday, at 5:00 PM Duration: 2 hours ____________________ with Ana Vaz This workshop is the gateway for those who want to understand BDSM in a safe, informed, and conscious way. For two hours, we will explore the essential elements of BDSM, including what it is and isn't, how negotiation and boundaries work, and how to create a safe space for any practice, whether sensory, emotional, or relational. All in a guided, practical, and respectful way, in a non-sexualized environment, without pressure to practice or intimate exposure. -- ✨ Fundamentals of BDSM We will learn the meaning of each letter in the acronym BDSM and the elements that compose them: Bondage, Discipline, Domination/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism. You will understand how these practices can be symbolic, physical, or emotional, always with consent and intention. ✨ Safety, Consent, and Aftercare You will learn to negotiate boundaries, use safewords, respect ongoing consent, and provide aftercare. We will distinguish what is part of BDSM and what is not. ✨ Guided Demonstrations and Optional Practice You will watch demonstrations of light and symbolic dynamics, including post-play. -- What we will experience: - Grounding and acceptance, creating body presence and trust. - Guided exploration of symbolic tools and dynamics. - Exercises in pairs or solo, always with opt-in/opt-out. - Space for questions, observation, and reflection. -- 💫 Who is it for? Beginners, curious individuals, or couples who want to explore BDSM safely, in an educational and non-sexualized environment, without pressure or performance. Ideal for those who want to understand the structure of a scene before moving on to more intense practices. 🚫 What this is not: - It is not a sex party - It is not a pain tolerance training session - It is not a space to resolve complex personal dynamics or process trauma This workshop creates the foundation for conscious, impactful, and pleasurable experiences, providing the safety and tools to continue exploring in Level 2. -- Facilitator: ✨ Ana Vaz With extensive experience in promoting positive and non-normative sexualities, she is the founder of AnaVaz.Inspire, creating safe spaces to explore love, intimacy, and identity without imposed standards.
