discipline ∞ devotion
dominance ∞ submission
doing ∞ being
creation ∞ digestion

we feed our leather lineages, incarnate in us.

we gather wisdom & vision from longing into the future.

we embody the art of surrender to material reality & we practice devotion to what is worthy of us.

we practice daily.
we dedicate ourselves to discipline, that we may trust our power.

this practice space draws on leather lineages of pleasure, family-making, & developmental trauma healing through relational dominance & submission, rooted in ancestral time & beyond-human kinship webs. here you will be guided & invited to purposefully take your teen & other young selves under your protection & guidance to be nurtured towards maturation rather than abandonment, while cultivating your practical D/s embodiment, identity, and skills. this will include somatic practice, storytelling, prompts for reflection & digestion, as well as invitations into dyad/triad practices of articulating desire & negotiating boundary.

primarily, this is a space for leatherdykes & leatherqueers. our admirers are warmly invited to learn from & with us, without appropriation. some clear guidance on the edges of leather/not leather will be offered; participants who do not (currently) identify themselves within leather lineages are also encouraged to translate their parallel & neighbouring knowledges of cultural appropriation with curiosity as they move through this season with us.

accessibility notes

all sessions will be recorded & available until the end of june. autocaptions will be enabled; prompts for exercises will be shared verbally & in chat. all participants choose when/if to be visible on video & whether to speak verbally, in chat, or not at all. everything is an adaptable & customizable invitation; nothing is obligatory. please join from a cozy, quiet location where you can be as comfy as possible in your body; moving, eating, taking breaks, & lying down are all welcome.

with gratitude to my leather lineages, particularly the unholy harvest leatherdykes, and to my deep teachers of cyclical time & spiritual maturation, ije & samia & the other turtles of the cypher. thanks also to my somatics teachers of all paths, particularly vanissar tarakali & kathy kain & the great river.
