I PROMISE YOU

It's been an amazing, fun and crazy month! I can't wait to tell you all about it. . . But right now I'm so pressed on time that all I can manage tonight is to get this list of upcoming classes out to you. In the next week I promise to write a juicy detailed adventure log of my recent trips to wild places like New Orleans, Portland and Amsterdam.

In the mean time, below are the classes and events for April. I'm totally excited that there are two weekend intensives as well. I love those because I can really work closely with the individuals in the small classes.
Please feel free to pass the class info here onto any interested adults or lists.

"Hot & Bothered: Playing with Erotic Embarrassment" (NEW)
Why do people get off on being embarrassed? How can you link the blush of embarrassment and the blush of arousal? What are the potential psychological ramifications? Lots of people get hot from doing or being made to do things in the bed-room that makes them feel naughty, such as role playing, sexual confessions, exhibitionism, consensual 'forced' cross dressing, and teasing, but may not be sure how to make it safe and fun. Emphasizing emotional safety throughout, Midori will explore a wide range of play that can heighten your desire and make your sex hot
