Class Descriptions
“Sensual Impact” with @Pelvic-Sorcery
Impact play can be so much more than hitting someone with a paddle or flogger. It can be a rough, punishing, and cathartic experience. However, it can also be seductive, sensual, and erotic. In this class, we will be focusing on making impact play an immersive sensual experience with a focus on intent rather than technique. Impact play can include so much more than only the sense of touch, as we will learn how incorporating the other senses can enhance the scene as an immersive experience.
“Fire Play 101” with @_Hawke_
Have you ever been fascinated—or maybe a little terrified—by the idea of playing with fire? Whether you’ve only seen it from afar, dipped a toe into the flame, or you’re just curious what it’s all about, this class is your invitation to explore one of the most visually captivating and adrenaline-tingling forms of edgeplay out there. Hawke has been playing with fire for over 15 years.
Join me as we dive into the art and allure of fire play. No prior experience needed, all skill levels are welcome. This class is for anyone, from the totally inexperienced to those looking to refine their technique. We’ll cover the essentials: safety, proper setup, types of fuels and tools, and technique.
There will be a live demonstration to give you a real sense of the rhythm and energy of a fire scene, and plenty of time for questions. Come share in my passion and walk away with knowledge, confidence, and maybe a little more fire inside you.
Taught by Master Hawke, Alice will be demo person.

“Fire Play Beyond the Basics: Flame On” with @_Hawke_ & @Kizmahas
Ready to ignite your fire play skills and take things from “Ooh, that’s warm” to “Holy hell, that’s incredible”?! This class is all about turning up the heat—literally. We’ll be diving into more elaborate and intense techniques, including co-topping, the human campfire, fire gloves, flaming blades, and other ways to make your scene look like a cross between a magic show and a metal album cover.
All skill levels are welcome to attend and watch the demo. This class assumes you already know the basics—like how not to accidentally set your partner (or yourself) on fire. We’ll be modeling best practices, but we won’t be covering Fire Safety 101. If you’re new, we highly recommend finding an experienced mentor before you start waving flames around like a warlock.
Come prepared to learn, be amazed, and maybe question your life choices. This is going to be lit 🔥
Taught by Marji Kizmahas and Master Hawke, Alice and Steve will both be demo person.
“Embrace the Suck: Intro to Cupping” with @_Hawke_ & @Kizmahas
Cupping has been around for thousands of years. Are you curious why? Well, Marji and Hawke have been playing with suction (both therapeutic and delightfully deviant) for over a decade. Come check out this unusual form of sensation play. Whether you’re a seasoned sensation player or just cup-curious, no experience is necessary to attend.
We’ll take you on a journey through the history of cupping, from ancient medicine to modern-day mischief. You’ll learn how to use fire, silicone, and pump cups. Wet or dry, gentle or intense, there’s a cupping style for every kink and comfort level. We will discuss the benefits of cupping and the range of sensations that can be produced, along with safety issues, precautions, and contraindications you should be aware of before engaging in this type of play.
We will demo different types of cupping, including fire and blood cupping, and there will be plenty of time for questions along the way. Join us for a class that truly sucks—in the best way possible.

“Electricity” with @Pelvic-Sorcery & @Kizmahas
It’s all around us. It powers so much of our world. But what do we really know about this mysterious force? And how can we use it for our kinky play? Join us as Steve (Pelvic-Sorcery) and Marji (Kizmahas) will help to demystify electric play. This class will demonstrate electrical play and its versatile applications. It can deliver prickly zaps to sensual pulsing and you can even use common household items to enhance the fun. If you have ever been curious about electric play and would like to know more, this class is for you.
“How to Madly Bottom to a Single Tail” with @_Hawke_
Single tails are ever-present in the dungeon, with their telltale crack that pierces the space and sends shivers up your spine. Join me while I share my passion for this iconic symbol of our BDSM/leather culture. Hawke has been throwing whips and putting the “ow” in “wow” since 2008. This class is intended for all skill levels, from the curious novice to the expert.
Many classes focus on technique (and I will get there). But first, this will be taught from the perspective of what a bottom should be aware of and look for in a single tail top. This, in turn, will inform the tops about what they should aspire to become.
We will then cover some throwing techniques. I’ll demonstrate how to practice and develop your skills.

About the Presenters
Hawke (@_Hawke_)
Master Hawke is a kink educator, presenter, and pillar of the Colorado Springs kink and leather communities. He began teaching in 2009 and has over 15 years of experience in power exchange dynamics. A pyromancer, a whip artist, and a shameless exhibitionist, he can frequently be found performing demos, offering tastings, and teaching classes around the Colorado Springs and Denver Metro areas. He is a self-proclaimed “unrepentant fire slut” who was drawn in by the energy and fear of fire play.
Over the course of his years in BDSM, Master Hawke has sought to find and create connected community through authentic self expression. Through this journey he was given the opportunity to examine his paradoxical nature and craft a sense of the dynamic tension underpinning his desires. He now has a passion for creating spaces to help others find acceptance and explore their own desires in alternative lifestyles. He is a servant leader with experience organizing and facilitating events that empower meaningful self-realization and foster connection.
Master Hawke is buoyed by loving, supportive partners and friends. When he’s not engaged in some glorious debauchery or enduring the insanity of his mentee, he might be enjoying a glass of Macallan with a Perdomo stick. A little cliche for a middle-aged white dude? Sure, but don’t count him out too soon. Oh, he’s also got a beard, so yeah.
Steve aka Pelvic Sorcery (@Pelvic-Sorcery)
Steve (Pelvic-Sorcery) has been active in the Colorado BDSM scene since 2014. He is a well known and frequent presenter at Voodoo Leatherworks in Colorado Springs. In addition to that he has also presented at events such as A Taste of Intensity II, Exile 5, and Living On The Edge. Steve’s focus as a Kink educator is largely on impact play and electrical play. However he also enjoys topping for fire and sensation play as well.
Marji (@Kizmahas)
A queer, seasoned, poly kinkster, Marji has been heavily involved in kink/leather communities since 2014. She sees kink as a valuable tool for self-exploration and meaningful connection, and loves to learn and share what she has learned. As an educator, service top, and facilitator, she weaves embodied consent practices through guided experiences, and believes in the magic of empowered vulnerability and shared intensity.
