This originally developed weekend seminar is for Tops, Dominants, Owners, and Masters. It’s an exploratory weekend to foster excellence in dominance. In nine sessions, we create a deep understanding of D/s and M/s foundations and full-blown working relationships. The areas covered in these sessions will help you achieve balance, a solid structure, tweek your own systems or build a new one, and explore the many composite areas that support a fully functional D/s or M/s relationship.
Don’t expect the same models or what you might hear in a one-hour event class. The material in this class is originally developed and based on 15 years and thousands of s-type feedback. Please listen to the audio feedback.
I ask a lot of the Tops/Dominants/Masters who attend this seminar. I’ve put together a demanding curriculum: it's not a one-right-way situation. It's a path of growth and extension that I hope will add layers, a new framework and a deeper understanding of your dominance as well as new tools for the execution of it.
Foundations in Mastery (FIM) is an intensive, interactive weekend created for people who top, master, or use D/s or M/s in their lives. It’s for people who are 24/7 or who are dominant for a few hours a month and anywhere in between. All experience levels, genders, and orientations are welcome. FIM runs Friday through Sunday. Originally created in 2007.
