SWEN & SAARA: PAIN & IMPACT PLAY

PAIN & IMPACT PLAY – Exploring the Edge of Pleasure & Pain

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED
In this workshop, we will cater to the kinbaku-lover who is curious on, how they can play with pain and impact in their practice.

In this workshop, we will learn techniques for processing pain, physically and emotionally, so that we can find suffering, release, and excitement while still being able to maintain awareness.

Pain can be a useful tool for recognizing physical and emotional limits, as well as an indication of a need for attention. Pain can also be stifling, forming barriers that are no longer needed. This is why it is important to stay present in our experiences and process what is going on appropriately, so that we can understand what kind of pains we are feeling, and which ones we should listen to and which ones we can learn to let go of, finding that beautiful suffering we all love so much. We will learn how we can build presence, so that we can maintain the awareness need to play consensually, even in the edgiest of situations.

We will explore what it means to play with physical and emotional impact. Physically, we will focus on teaching techniques for giving and receiving impact on different parts of the body, including the face, that encompass anatomy and safety.

We will look at different kinds of common tools in BDSM that are used on the body, where they can be used and how they can be used. We will explore how to use rhythm, speed, and intensity when giving physical impact, and how we can integrate these tools and techniques in our kinbaku sessions.

We will discuss what it means to leave an emotional impact, and common ways this can occur in a session (such as provoking feelings of shame, submission, or fear). We will discuss different ways in which we set an intention for the direction of a session, so that we can aim for the desired impact, as well as ways to handle a session when an undesired impact occurs.

More specifically, we will cover:

• Spanking zones for the hand and commonly used tools
• Non-verbal and verbal communication practices around pain and impact
• Methods for playing with emotional pain
• Warming up and cooling down practices
• Regulating rhythm, speed, and intensity
• Movement, positions, and body control
• Bruises, skin preparation, and aftercare
• Creative games for playing with pain and impact
• Methods for processing and staying present with pain
• Integrating pain and impact play into kinbaku sessions

SAARA REI
Saara Rei is a performance artist and former competitive dancer and classical musician with a background in education, facilitation, and public speaking. Saara’s work generally centers around the exploration of suffering, both physical and emotional. Through her kink practice, Saara has come to understand that suffering comes from the comparison of what has been or could be to the present moment. And with that, Saara enjoys teaching about how to use suffering as a path to presence and enjoyment in life. Saara’s academic experience adds an intellectual flair to complement her performative approach to bodywork. Playfulness and humor make up a big chunk of Saara’s personality and approach to life, giving her workshops a very exploitative and light atmosphere, even while approaching some of the heaviest of topics.
