Woo & BDSM EDGE
June 28, 2026 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
We hear it talked about, maybe we even think we understand it, there are many misconceptions. During this EDGE we’ll explore what we call ‘woo’ in BDSM. Woo can be described as the spirituality and energy that exists in and around us, and we will explore how to use that energy in our play scenes. Exchanging energy with our play partners during scenes can cause deep connections to form, and we will discuss how to either capitalize on that or ways to avoid it, depending on personal preferences. In addition to hyper-focused connections, including woo in BDSM can lead to deeply profound interpersonal emotional experiences, catharsis, and can cause triggers.
Through holding space, intense sensations, power exchange, eliminating thought-squirrels, meditation, energy exchange, rituals, and more, we can shift our mental state, transcending pain to another psychological and physical plane. By tapping into connection, pain, power and/or sex, we reach these higher states. Join us to discuss what woo is, how to get to those higher levels during play, why it’s important, the means we use to transcend our bodies, our fears and/or pain to reach sub or top space and connect with our partners on a new and deeper level.
