Latex Repair Workshop

Tickets and more information here

Interested in getting into latex? Want to learn how to repair your pieces? Join us for an afternoon of learning and socializing with other latex enthusiasts to develop a better understanding of this unique material and how to repair it.

Workshop Details

  • Learn while building local community

  • Brief presentation on latex fetishism throughout history: a look at archival videos, writings, and images

  • The basics of latex crafting: what you need to know to repair your own latex, with tips and tricks for success. This section will be divided into a few parts:

    • A demo on cutting and gluing, and how to repair holes, rips, and separated seams

    • Learn along: step by step together where we put "latex bandaids" on rips - the hardest repairs to do. 

  • Practice time: this is where each person can spend time practicing, or if they have a piece they want to repair, can start to work on it.  Rae will be walking around to answer questions, or help with tricky repairs people want support with 

No membership is required. There are two ticket options available: Attendance Only and Attendance + Starter Kit.

  • Choose Attendance Only if you plan to observe or already have your own equipment and tools (bring them along for the practical portion).

  • Choose Attendance + Starter Kit if you’d like to participate and need the essential equipment to get started. Monday February 3rd will be the cut off date for start kit sales to allow enough time to purchase the requisite number of kits.

Jealousy Masterclass

Click here to get your tickets.

Join Pagan’s Paradise in Manhattan, New York for an in person workshop.

Feeling overwhelmed by jealous feelings in your relationships? This is a crash course on why you're feeling jealous and what to do about it so you can stop. Unlike other jealousy workshops, this course was built with consensual non monogamy in mind.

Learn about the common roots of jealousy, how to better identify the feelings underlying your jealousy, how to determine if it's a "you" problem or a "them" problem, unpack toxic jealousy, and dive deep into different techniques to manage your feelings in a healthy and productive way.

This workshop is built as a follow up to Sharing is Caring: Introduction to Non Monogamy, but is helpful to anyone experiencing jealousy, regardless of relationship style.

More importantly, how do we bring it up in our own relationships? If you're curious about ethical non monogamy, polyamory, swinging, and everything in between, we're here to show you how sharing is caring.

Down the Rabbit Hole - Pleasure Workshop

Click here to get your tickets.

Join Pagan’s Paradise in Manhattan, New York for an in person workshop.

Where do you source your pleasure? Is it in your lifestyle, your fantasies, your partner? All pleasure activates the same area of the brain and I’m excited to talk through how you can switch up your routine to experience more of it.

This 1.5 hour workshop seminar will teach you about pleasure anatomy, tools that stimulate each area, and the science of desire, so you can branch out from your usual routine. After the information, we will be reflecting on what we have learned and discussing how it will be applied to our lives with a journaling and sharing activity.

Take what you’ve learned and experiment at Kink Party later this evening
