The Embodied Dominant for women, trans and non-binary people

For many people, being dominant can feel easier to act than to hold. In this day together we slow down that acting and make room to practice dominance as felt presence rather than performance. You will be invited to explore how authority lives in your body: in stance, voice, attention and the small, contained ways you take up space.

We work with pacing, restraint and curiosity: learning to lead without forcing, to use attention as a tool, and to build trust through intentional somatic skills. The focus is relational — how to hold power responsibly and how to enjoy the authority you embody, beyond clichés and the pressure to perform.

Who this is for
This is for you if you are new to kink or curious about dominance; if technique-heavy femdom classes have left you overwhelmed; if you have some experience but want to move away from the "mean dominatrix" trope; or if you want to practice leading from authenticity rather than imitation. The workshop is open to women, trans and non-binary people; cis men cannot attend this edition.

What we practice
- Dominant presence: body language, attention, stance and voice
- Power dynamics grounded in relationship rather than performance
- Attention and pacing as dominant tools
- Consent and somatic cues in D/s
- Working safely and intentionally with submissives

Practical details
Location: Brussels – Auderghem, close to metro stop Hankar. The exact venue address will be shared after ticket purchase. This is a sober, sex-positive space; consent and choice are central and all exercises are invitations. Please avoid perfume and scented products so the space remains scent-neutral. Some light snacks will be provided; there is no fridge at the venue, so plan your lunch accordingly.

What to bring
Wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothing and bring a water bottle. Bring your own lunch or plan to buy food nearby. Optional: simple play items for exploration (blindfold, soft flogger, fabric, favourite toys), though there is no expectation you will use them.

Accessibility, language and welcome
The workshop is taught in English. The space is trauma-aware, queer-friendly, slut-inclusive and welcoming of neurodiversity. If you are unsure whether this space fits you, you are invited to get in touch with questions.
