About the program:

Ever wonder why other people aren’t as clear as you?  Ever have a fight where afterwards you realize it was all just a great big mistake?  Do you sometimes struggle to be understood or even just heard?  Communication is far more complex than just talking about things.  Understanding how you hear and react to your partner and how they hear and react to you takes time and effort.  Learn a variety of proven listening and discussion skills that can help improve the clarity of your communication with your partner/s.  Few things can affect the depth and intensity of any relationship dynamic as profoundly as improving the quality of communication.

About the presenter:

Michael is a largely monogamous dominant and something of a private player who has been in and around the scene for nearly twenty years.  He owned and ran Dragon’s Keep, one of the few N. California public play spaces out of the San Francisco Bay Area.  Over a decade ago, he formed Sacramento’s oldest and largest BDSM groups.  He was the co-founder of Sacramento’s MAsT group.  

Combining his passion for woodworking and BDSM, he creates and sells beautiful implements of pain and pleasure.  He has supported a wide variety of leather title holders, community events, and groups with donations of time, money, and his art.  As a presenter, he prefers to teach classes focused on improving relationships and has taught widely at the local level and at the national level.
