Kink & Trauma

Trauma is a is a big word. Trauma is part of life and “trauma transformation” can stand for the idea that wounds can heal. Some of us use BDSM techniques to make that kind of change happen. This workshop gives you a glimpse into how that is possible, what to be aware of and why the body is key.

This course is designed for everyone from beginner to expert who is interested in the topic either for themselves or wish to acquire knowledge of how to play with others better.
