Bodies We Have and the Passions We Hold - July Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings,
In Denver the weather is 93 degrees and sweat rolls from down my sides and arms in thin rivulets. Shade feels like mana from heaven, and waiting for a bus, then a train, then another bus is a rollercoaster from sun to air conditioning and back again.
Consent, Trust, and Power - March Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings, I was on a panel this weekend for TASHRA about the complexities of full time authority transfer relationships as well as what is referred to as consensual non consent [CNC] scenes and relationships. These are both also sometimes thought of as "no-safewords" intimacy and dynamics.
Conversations and Curiosity - February Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings, recently I have been both blessed and challenged with how to navigate questions within community between friends and within relationships.
Clarity On Our Journeys: Adventures, Audio, And Authenticity - January Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings, Welcome to 2024, and a return to my newsletters. Have you missed me? I am tickled that my new assistant Kitt is helping me so wonderfully get back into the flow of things after a beautiful but hectic 2023. What a blessing.
Become Your Own Beloved - May 22 Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings,
This is a window of blessings. A new home I’m moving into as soon as I am back from International Mr. Leather and Camp Crucible. Friends supporting me and understanding producers amidst health adventures. And? My new book out!
Sexy Safer Sex - April 17th Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings, I am a slut. The passion and power of sexuality whether I have one erotic partner in my life (me), or whether I am blessed with having an array of people in my sexual world has always been part of who I am.
Kinky, Chronically Ill, And Queer - March15 Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings. Where I live, the days are getting longer and warmer but even as the sun has called to me the last few days, my body has called me to rest. Living with disability and chronic illness means that sometimes I need long rests after carrying boxes up the stairs, sometimes I need to cancel plans with beloveds, and sometimes I need to cancel my own classes.
January 10 Newsletter - Beautiful and Challenging New Year (CW: Suicide)
Hello Beautiful Beings, Happy New Year! I hope 2023 brings joy, rest, and play to your life. As I pursue rest, joy, and play in my own life, I continue to reflect on the ways I manage my time and energy. To save me some time, I’ve made the decision to move from selling books on my Mystic Productions website to selling my books through my book distributor.
12/9 Newsletter - Gender Excellence During the Holidays
Hello Beautiful Beings, I’ve had a very transformative and eye-opening last few weeks. I took a trip to Philadelphia with friends and had an experience that was incredibly mentally and emotionally challenging for me. In that moment, I was divinely asked to really look at my life, at the ways I was approaching and living my life, and consider how I was going to make changes in order to live my life in a more sustainable and fulfilling way.
You Have More Power Than You Know - 11/6 Newsletter
Hello Beautiful Beings, You may have noticed that there’s been a bit of time since my last newsletter. During the past month or so, I have been dancing with different sicknesses, managing my teaching schedule, preparing for a month of traveling, and so much more. I even got the first version of my upcoming book “Become Your Own Beloved” off to the editors at Twin Flames Press!
Chronicles of a Kink Educator's Assistant
I am so excited to officially introduce myself and to join this delightful community. Through the amazing support of Lee’s Patrons, I began working as Lee’s assistant in March, and I have already been so inspired by the work I have been doing for him. I am grateful for everyone supports Lee’s inclusive and educational work, and I am honored that I can also support him through my work as his assistant.
Consent and Altered States
Hello Beautiful Beings, I’ve just gotten back from a writing retreat in Boulder, during which I edited and worked on my forthcoming book, Become Your Own Beloved. I am so excited to share this project with the world. From dating to wedding myself, I have found immense meaning and joy in cultivating my partnership with myself, and I am excited to share the tools I have learned on this journey.
Rope As Sacred Ritual
Hello Beautiful Beings, There is magic present in the lines between us. We are a web of fate, for as the Fates of Greek mythology showed us, one sister spins our lives, the second measures, and the third cuts. Then, we are woven together in a tapestry. When one life touches upon ours, the lives of both of us is changed. Fibers, ropes, and bondage are a beautiful metaphor for how we touch each other.
Kinky Konnections
Hello Beautiful Beings,
We live in a disconnected world, disconnected from both ourselves and our communities. The ongoing pandemic has isolated many of us from family and friends, exacerbating the loneliness and isolation felt by many living with chronic illnesses and disabilities and/or by those experiencing marginalization at the hands of their families or community members.
Bodily Autonomy and Objectification
Hello Beautiful Beings, I recently returned from camping in the area of Rainbow Lakes in Colorado. It was a chance for my Boy and I, as partners, to step away from the work we both do as educators and consultants and take a deep breath away from technology. With Roe v. Wade being overturned, with the constant onslaught against transgender people, with the death penalty having adjustments made for religious desires at the time of death… it just keeps coming in.
Accessing Kink: BDSM and Disabilities
Hello beautiful beings, Being a being with often invisible disabilities can be frustrating on a number of levels. Not being able to sit on a zoom call because my hips are being problematic affects the schedules of others. Having problems walking because of intense vertigo limits where I can go. Having my mood disorder affect my upbeat way I try to approach the world can be frustrating.
Conscious Energy Flow, Sacred Kink, and Gender Rituals
Hello beautiful beings, I am just back from DC where I had the chance to officiate a beautiful black-tie wedding. With people from at least 6 countries in attendance, it was wonderful to see a blend of experiences that come together in one pair of individuals. There was punk pagan and foreign royalty, immaculate old money and modern queer beauty, older lesbian and young straight polyamorous energy all in one place, which truly represented the couple well.
Kinky Campers Have S'more Fun!
Hello beautiful beings, I write to you from the Baltimore, Maryland area, loading up the gear from the staff of Camp Crucible as we prep to pack in for this amazing 9-day event. Over breakfast we talked about what has been happening on the DC venue The Crucible for which the event is named, and it is fantastic to hear about all of the events that have been happening there from dance parties to dungeons, weddings to safe spaces for often oppressed populations.
Age Play, Kinky Camping, and Self Bondage, oh my!
Hello beautiful beings, I have just gotten back from Colorado Leather Fest and re-packed for my upcoming weekend at the Academy of Fetish Arts in Cleveland. The event was an intense emotional ride that many people I know are processing right now. I am so grateful for having attended the class “Queer LeatherSex in the 21st Century” by Sir Luke and His victor, as well as getting to know them better.
Authenticity, Animal Roleplay, Identity, and Connection
Hello beautiful beings, Spring has fully sprung and Denver is alive with greens returning to the trees and the squirrels playing what I call “Squirrel TV.” What is Squirrel TV you ask? It is when I can sit for hours at my front windows watching the squirrels live out their lives full of delight, drama, challenge, and stillness – because who needs TV when you can have squirrels.
