Andy
What Kind of Poly Am I?
I will discuss the myriad of different types of polyamorous relationships and the communication styles that work well with the different types. This isn’t a generic communication course, I want to work on ways to talk to your partners in languages that they can understand. I will also talk about some ways to handle difficulties when they arise.

Today We Failed but Tomorrow We Soar (Neurodivergence in M/s)
Dynamics can be challenging when one partner is Neurotypical and the other is Neurodivergant. But what if BOTH partners are Neurodivergent?!? How do we honor and shape the uniqueness of both individuals while honoring the sacredness of a power exchange dynamic? Join us as we share how we shaped our dynamic to suit both of our needs and wants.
In this hour we will be talking about:
- How to disclose your Neurodivergent diagnosis to your partner
- What not to say to your Neurodivergent partner
- How to use your talents to make your slavery soar
- How to support your Neurodivergent Master
- How to find your confidence in a Neurotypical world

Cuckquean and Power Exchange
Let’s look at the intersection of the Cuckquean and Power Exchange.
We will be discussing:
- What a cuckquean is, the psychology, and turn on.
- How to negotiate wants and desires around a slave’s lust for something, and the needs and wants around Power Exchange (relevant to all, cuckquean or not)
- How to understand a cuckquean as a person and a desire, from humiliation as edge play to comparison within power exchange

Attachment Theory and Power Exchange

Starting at the Acknowledgement: Indigenizing Kink
This workshop will demonstrate how land and sexuality are tied together and will describe Jay’s healing journey of reclaiming sexuality. Throughout her 60-90 minute workshop, you will explore, through storytelling, deep concepts of Indigenous consent, how to invite Indigenous bodies into kink spaces and how to move past performative land acknowledgements into meaningful recognition and engagement. At the end of this workshop, you will have the tools to write your own meaningful land acknowledgment and a better understanding of how to be a better ally to the Indigenous community.
The act of reclaiming sexuality can be understood as an act of reclaiming one’s sovereignty.

How Hypnosis Can Enhance M/s Relationships
Hypnosis is a natural, meditative state that quiets the conscious mind and allows the subconscious mind to receive guided imagery and suggestions in order to manage a myriad of issues, such as anxiety, stress, insomnia, low self-esteem, phobias, pain, and addictions. Erotic hypnosis adds excitement via the simulation of BDSM/kink activities, such as bondage, spanking, chastity, or Tease & Denial.
This presentation explores how hypnosis (whether therapeutic or erotic) can enhance M/s dynamics.
Master Lala
The Viability of Online Relationships
What happens when you encounter someone who meets most of your requirements – and the attraction and chemistry are palpable – but they live in another country or state? You may want to consider an online dynamic, if you don’t want to miss out on friendship (at the very least) or possibly building a viable connection with a potential partner.
This presentation explores how to start and maintain a deep and lasting virtual relationship.

How to Form a MAsT Chapter
Local chapters are the lifeblood of MAsT International and the primary vehicle through which the organization fulfills its mission of providing education and support for those interested in consensual Master/slave relationships. Every one of those chapters were started by someone like you with a passion for community service and a desire to create a space for connection and support to others interested in M/s.
Master Rodin, the President of MAsT International will be here to answer questions and assist those wanting to learn more about forming a MAsT Chapter in their communities.
While not necessary to attend, consider reviewing the documentation found on the How To Form A MAsT Chapter page at MAsT.net and compile any questions you may have.

Superglue: Creating relationship cohesion (alignment) through protocols
This class is suitable for those new to our culture.
How much better would your relationship be if the Leader clearly communicated their version of a “perfect life” so the follower knew what you needed to do? How much better would your relationship be if the follower knew what to follow?
Protocols are an outgrowth of your values. Some “standard responses” are tried-and-true, some you’ll have to create to suit your own relationship. You can create protocols that support your own version of a magical world and you can create protocols that solve challenges. For example, you can create a protocol that addresses “getting back into Master or slave headspace after a long day at work.” Protocols can also be used to help stabilize relationships that are being pulled back to the land of vanillas.
We’ll discuss practical protocols: attendees will have the opportunity to ask for help designing protocols to fit their particular needs. (NOTE: attendees may wish to take notes.)

Refining the Fire: Insights into long term M/s dynamics (401-level class)
Note: this is a 401-level class, not a 101 or 20
A servant serves Master’s needs or is fired; a slave serves Master’s wants or is released. However, Master’s wants must not trump slave’s needs even when playing by RACK standards. Although slave is in service to Master, Master is responsible for keeping the relationship focused and on track. Welcome to the complex and elegant world of Master/slave relations.
M/s offers flexibility for like-minded people to design a magical life — as long as their purposes and intentions are aligned. Quite a bit can happen when you combine a visionary leader and a strong supportive follower. Come and join our discussion about advanced power-exchange relationships.
