JONATHAN (USA) : SINGLE TAIL TECHNIQUES : 2PM
Singletail Whips – ‘Let’s Get Cracking!’ Jonathan has been a professional stagefight director in Britain, Canada, Europe and the USA since 1984 and has been training with singletails since 1995. Gio is a professional ballet dancer and started practicing with whips in 2005.
Together we’ll be covering the basics of whipcracking. Please bring your own wide brimmed hat, eye protection, (sunglasses are fine) and your own singletails if you have them, but not floggers! Although we will touch on the use of whips in play and the psychological aspects of “creating a scene”, this will mostly be a practical class.
While more advanced students will be coached individually, the ultimate goal is to get everyone cracking!
JONATHAN (USA) : SINGLE TAIL ADVANCED CLASS : 3PM
Advanced Singletail or ‘You’ll Soon Raise Welts Like Nobody Eltz!’ Learning the sidecrack is the secret to learning how to administer a proper fustigation. All too many self-described ‘experts’ resort to atrocities such as rat-tailing, which leaves tiny pockmarks or the odious ‘East Coast Swing’ with which one can occasionally hit the East Coast. No, the infliction of a stylish, nicely spaced series of parallel lines laid slowly, elegantly and to be displayed with pride by your ‘canvas’ is the goal of this class. And you have my solemn, professional assurance that the near-endless practise necessary to gain this expertise will definitely be the most tedious and boring thing you’ve ever undertaken in your entire life. But it WILL work.
AZAZEL (OTTAWA) : IMPACT PLAY : 4PM
The whys and hows of Impact Play. MORNING WOOD TOYS‘ very own Azazel offers a fun outlook on impact play echniques as well as select toys.

Bio: Miss Red Rida is a queer Dominatrix, and kink educator based in Montréal. She has been working as a kink provider since 2021 and began offering kink and consent workshops in 2024. She enjoys indulging in the art of negotiation and co-creating ritualistic scenes and kinky dynamics that facilitate growth and change through somatic experiences. Miss Red delights in nerding out about communication and having long conversations that deepen mutual understandings of the self, desire, and relationships.

GIOVANNA (USA) : TICKLING : 12PM
The Art of Erotic Tickling’ or, ‘The Feather is Mightier Than The Bullwhip’ is a class Gio and Jonathan have taught several times in the past in Canada, England, Jamaica, and the USA. A growing kink, tickling’s often a hard limit for even the most dedicated pain slut.
This can be very interesting because it’s so subtly devastating, especially when combined with bondage, and can be used to vary sensations in play to prolong activity without leaving the slightest mark. Used on a susceptible person, the feather in an educated hand is truly vicious! Laughter releases endorphins- AND it’s a fantastic abs workout!
GIOVANNA (USA) MISTRESS DIAMONDBLU (CANADA) : BONDAGE ON A BUDGET : 1PM
How to Explore Restraint Without Breaking the Bank
Have you always wanted to try bondage but found it too complicated? Too intimidating? Too expensive? If so, this is the class for you!
MISTRESS DIAMONDBLU (CANADA) : KINK IMPROV AND BDSM : 2PM
“how to get out of you head and fully into a scene”
As humans, we thrive in an environment that has structure; this “structure” makes us feel
secure. The “unknown” however, is filled with variables often beyond our control – and a lack of
control is often a terrifying idea. But for many, a lack of structure, mixed with a lack of control
often leads to something even more terrifying – the fear of failure.
Through the examination and application of the basic rules of Improvisation, we will discover the
elements of play, surrender and trust, all of which are also the foundations of a successful and
satisfying BDSM scene. Through the lens of Improv, I will share a different perspective of
spontaneity and flow, and how to break free of our sometimes self-imposed rigid narrative kink
structures that may keep us from being fully present in the moment. And also, how to embrace
failure boldly and happily if and when it does happen.
BIO : Mistress DiamondBlu, a Professional Dominatrix from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is also a
professional photographer, cinematographer, writer, trained actor and improviser, and for more
thana decade, she has explored the realm of spiritual healing through her journey as a Reiki
Master and Shamanic practitioner. It was not until her cancer diagnosis four years ago that
Mistress DiamondBlu decided to shift her perspectives on life and career, and felt a call to
merge her experience in the healing arts and improvisation/acting with BDSM. She believes
that every energy exchange is sacred and holds within it the possibilities of profound, effortless
and divine transformation.

How to make sure your partner isn’t faking?
How to keep yourself from faking?
Discover the 5 anti-fake hacks for realer, more satisfying connections.
Whether it’s sex, scenes, or everyday relationships, pretending happens when things feel less than fully consensual. Conditioning, trauma, or the pressure to conform—or perform—often makes saying “YES” feel way easier than saying “NO” or “STOP.”
Consent isn’t just YES or NO—because sometimes even a yes should have been a no…
So how do we make sure we’re lighting the right kind of F.I.R.E.S. (Freely given, Informed, Reversible, Enthusiastic, and Specific)?
Designed with kinksters, fetish enthusiasts, and vanilla-curious folks in mind, this workshop offers tools that will elevate not only your erotic play but also your other connections—platonic, romantic, or professional.
You’ll walk away with tools to:
- Spot invalid consent and address it for yourself and others.
- Make sure you’re only giving valid consent to others—no more faking!
- Ask for what you want without pressuring your partner into faking.
- Appreciate getting a “NO” where you would usually get a fake yes.
- Foster authenticity and comfort throughout any exchange, scene, or relationship.
No physical contact required. 😉

DOM VON GOGH & KELLY GIRL (USA) : LATEX LIQUID LOVE : 4PM
Official invite: Mark your calendar for a very unique Liquid Love Latex Edition Experience
So, what is Liquid Love ?
The Liquid Love Experience is a collective journey of the senses. It is an exploration of sensuality in its purest form.
Through the use of copious amounts of our liquid love potion (silicone latex lube) we are, for a while, able to eliminate friction from our lives allowing for incredibly smooth flowing encounters with ourselves and others.
The concept is simple: we pour warm, silicone lube on to your completely encased latex covered skin, from where it will spread over your whole body and form a lubricious substance, which allows you to engage in flowing latex skin to latex skin contact and float in a sea together with other warm and oily bodies. Everyone will also be blindfolded to heighten the experience. We also invite everyone to respect their own rhythm and limits to touch. We will have Oil Angel’s to monitor consent throughout the event and will collectively discuss consent practices prior to participating in the Liquid Love event.
Initially, we will all allow ourselves to be moved without intentions or sexual orientation. Be present with erotic sensations and thoughts but rather than act on them, relax into the energetic flow of the bodies around you. This is a place where you can love and be loved in an impersonal and unbound manner and above all a place to super charge your soul.
It is important that we start on time as a group on this journey together. People who come late will not be admitted. Please make sure to bring a towel, a full latex bodysuit (catsuit), latex hoods, gloves and footies are also encouraged ! You will also probably want to bring a change of clothing for after the event.
Liquid Love is an advanced Tantric practice. This is an event where you are invited to touch and be touched. It is designed for those who have experience exploring consensual touch such as cuddle parties, play parties, etc. Initially, this will be a sensual, non sexual experience, if you think that this boundary will be difficult to honor please do apply to participate.
This particular event may not be for you and/or your partner, and that is ok ! However, we do ask that IF you commit to attending that you WILL participate and that you will respect the sanctity of the event for the sake of all others participating.
