SUMMARY:Impact Play for Queers with Luna
DESCRIPTION:Impact Play for Queers with Luna is a dynamic\, inclusive class that invites LGBTQIA2S+ folks to explore the art of consensual striking—spanking\, paddling\, flogging\, slapping\, and more—in a queer-centered space. Whether you're a seasoned top\, an eager bottom\, or just kink-curious\, Luna creates a playful\, affirming environment to learn about physical intensity\, body-based communication\, and the erotic possibilities of sensation. This class celebrates queer bodies\, desires\, and relationships\, with an emphasis on creativity\, consent\, and connection. \nYou'll learn the fundamentals of safe and effective impact play\, including how to use different tools\, strike zones to avoid\, how to warm up a body for heavier play\, and the importance of rhythm\, pacing\, and communication. Luna will also delve into negotiation strategies\, consent frameworks\, and how to navigate power exchange through a queer lens—acknowledging the unique dynamics\, traumas\, and joys that come with queer sexuality. Discussions and demos will center queer experiences\, with space for all genders and relationship styles. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring partners\, friends\, or come solo—there will be opportunities for guided practice and observation\, with consent and comfort prioritized at every step. Bring your curiosity\, your questions\, and (if you have them) your favorite toys. Impact Play for Queers with Luna is a celebration of pleasure\, power\, and pride in our bodies and kinks—whether you're soft and swishy or loud and leathery\, there's a place for you here.

MG moves with weight on their knees between galleries—bearing the unseen toll of systemic failures in healthcare\, public assistance\, and societal empathy. \nMary Grace Bernard (MG\, she/they) is a transdisciplinary artist\, educator\, advocate\, and crip witch.

He currently studies Communication Design at MSU Denver. \nRyan Dorman – “a hard thing to do”\nA poetic gesture of memory and identity. Seated across from a cup\, Dorman attempts to spit sunflower seeds into it—playful yet futile.
