SUMMARY:Neurodivergence in BDSM Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:A two-day workshop with Susie Showers \n\n\n\nFriday September 5th 6PM-9PM \n\n\n\nSaturday September 6th 4PM-6PM \n\n\n\nPlease note\, you must have attended Friday’s class to be eligible to attend Saturday’s class. \n\n\n\nHave more fun with accessibility in kink for neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals\, couples\, and polycules.  \n\n\n\nPerhaps the play you’re engaging in – or avoiding – is creating discomfort or overwhelm for you or your partners. Or maybe you know exactly what you need to feel comfortable\, but play feels rigid or uninspired. Join this two-part play lab with a certified mental health & relationship counsellor to explore the benefits of kink\, power play and fetish in your relationships. \n\n\n\nYou’ll be supported to explore… \n\n\n\n\nWhy kink feels so good\, based on how your brain learns and communicates\n\n\n\nFeel the difference between feeling unsafe and feelings of discomfort from avoidance\, overstimulation\, and dissociation \n\n\n\nConnect your unique access needs to roles and activities in BDSM \n\n\n\nCreate scenes and aftercare plans for collaborative connection \n\n\n\n\nIn the first part you will explore challenges and support needs. Bring your questions\, your struggles\, your wins! In the second day you’ll be loosely guided to create a scene honouring the play style for your neurotype to satisfy you and your partners\, and find creative ways to meet your accessibility needs. You don’t need to be in an ongoing relational dynamic to attend\, all that’s required is curiosity to understand yourself and other people.  \n\n\n\nDay 1: \n\n\n\n\nAfter settling in we name common challenges in kinky play and intimacy for neurodivergent folks.\n\n\n\nThis channels into support needs these challenges may be pointing towards.\n\n\n\nWe play with the difference between feeling unsafe and feeling uncomfortable in relationship\, and bring curiosity to discomfort. \n\n\n\nThere will be a bit of homework to take with you so you’re prepared well for the practical part. \n\n\n\n\nDay 2: \n\n\n\n\nConnect support needs to tools including kinky behaviours and activities \n\n\n\nPlan out a scene including negotiation and aftercare for everyone involved \n\n\n\n\nNote: This is not a 101 intro to BDSM\, so prior knowledge of basic kink negotiation\, safety and consent are expected before joining. \n\n\n\nTickets are sold per person and are provide access to the event for both Friday and Saturday as this is a two day workshop. \n\n\n\nTickets are available on a sliding scale to promote inclusivity and accessibility. Please choose the ticket price that makes this event accessible to you. All ticket types provide the same access to the event. \n\n\n\nThis workshop does not require a membership. Doors will open 15 minutes before the start of the class. \n\n\n\nSusie Showers is a queer nonbinary AuDHD creative arts therapist and relationship counsellor in Montreal. They support queer and trans individuals and relational dynamics explore challenges and curiosities around gender\, sexuality\, kink\, and polyamoury. They integrate somatic techniques\, drama therapy\, sex therapy\, and DBT using a feminist trauma-informed body-based approach. They have been learning and teaching in kink communities since 2013 in London UK\, Melbourne Australia\, Toronto\, and Montreal.

SUMMARY:Naked Boys Reading
DESCRIPTION:THE PRIDE FLAG\, sewn by Gilbert Baker in 1978\, originally had 8 stripes\, each with a meaning: sex\, life\, healing\, sunlight\, nature\, magic\, serenity\, and spirit. It was inspired by Judy Garland’s song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” \n\n\n\nOur August show\, which is also our annual pride show\, will feature readings from the 2SLGBTQ+ community and the history of the queer rights movement\, both fictional and nonfiction. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNaked Boys Reading is an internationally produced literary salon featuring unclothed men reading to you: a blissful combination of literature\, book nerds\, and\, of course\, nudity! \n\n\n\nThis show is for all genders and sexualities. It is not erotic “adult entertainment” — which we’re cool with — but that’s not this. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nTHIS SHOW… \n\n\n\n\nCurated by Andrew Cooper\n\n\n\nHosted by ★ RHAPSODY BLUE ★\n\n\n\nPhotography by Zac Emery\n\n\n\nCo-produced by Nicholas Surges\n\n\n\nPresented by Tricky Ricky Productions\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nDoors will open at 7:00 pm. We cannot admit anybody prior to 7:00 pm. The show will begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Seating is first come\, first served: The sooner you arrive\, the better the view you’ll have. \n\n\n\nIf you’re attending as a party of three or more people\, it is best to arrive early — by 7:30 pm — to find seating together. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNBR shows often sell out in advance\, so we strongly recommend advance ticket purchase\, without delay\, to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nThe advance ticket price is $24 per ticket. If you’re unable to pay online\, or if the ticket price is a financial barrier for you\, please contact us: ottawa@nakedboysreading.ca \n\n\n\nTickets are refundable up to five (5) days before the show\, but please note that service/processing fees (charged by Eventbrite\, the ticketing platform) are non-refundable. Each ticket is also transferable — which means you can gift or sell it to somebody else. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nWe are committed to body positivity and diverse representation. The line-up of readers for each show is usually a mix of new and returning readers. We strive to reflect the diversity of our communities at every show. Our success is partially dependent upon the availability of readers. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available. \n\n\n\nWe acknowledge that we operate on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.

SUMMARY:NBR: Seven Deadly Sins
DESCRIPTION:The religious concept of sin has long been used as a tool to establish morality for the masses\, and to dictate right and wrong. But if dogma tells us that things like gluttony\, sloth and lust are evil\, then why do they feel so good? \n\n\n\nJoin us as we re-examine the boundaries of the Seven Deadly Sins — with a side of lust — and explore wrath\, pride\, greed\, and all the other sins in the world of literature! \n\n\n\nTICKETS BELOW or www.nakedboysreading.ca \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNaked Boys Reading is an internationally produced literary salon featuring unclothed men reading to you: a blissful combination of literature\, book nerds\, and\, of course\, nudity! \n\n\n\nThis show is for all genders and sexualities. It is not erotic “adult entertainment” — which we’re cool with — but that’s not this. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nTHIS SHOW… \n\n\n\n— Curated by Dave Wavrock— Hosted by ★ RHAPSODY BLUE ★— Photography by Zac Emery— Co-produced by Nicholas Surges— Presented by Tricky Ricky Productions \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nDoors will open at 7:00 pm. We cannot admit anybody prior to 7:00 pm. The show will begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Seating is first come\, first served: The sooner you arrive\, the better the view you’ll have. \n\n\n\nIf you’re attending as a party of three or more people\, it is best to arrive early — by 7:30 pm — to find seating together. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nNBR shows usually sell out in advance\, so we strongly recommend advance ticket purchase\, without delay\, to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nThe advance ticket price is $24 per ticket. If you’re unable to pay online\, or if the ticket price is a financial barrier for you\, please contact us: ottawa@nakedboysreading.ca \n\n\n\nTickets are refundable up to five (5) days before the show\, but please note that service/processing fees (charged by Eventbrite\, the ticketing platform) are non-refundable. Each ticket is also transferable — which means you can gift or sell it to somebody else. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nWe are committed to body positivity and diverse representation. The line-up of readers for each show is usually a mix of new and returning readers. We strive to reflect the diversity of our communities at every show. Our success is partially dependent upon the availability of readers. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available. \n\n\n\nWe acknowledge that we operate on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★

SUMMARY:MAX Ottawa: Spill the Beans
DESCRIPTION:June is Mens Health Month and in honour of this\, MAX is hosting a series of community discussion groups for dudes in the national capital region. So we invite you to join us and some local experts to spill the beans\, and chat about health. \n\n\n\nMental Health Hygiene  \n\n\n\nWe brush our teeth\, we shower\, and we comb our hair. Those are the little things we do to take care of our bodies\, but what are we doing to take care of our minds? Mental Health can be a big challenge sometimes. But sometimes it’s also about all the little things we do to stay well.
