The number of ways to Serve within an Authority Transfer relationship or dynamic is infinite. Each is customized to suit the individuals involved, and with long-standing P/partners, Service only seems to grow more complicated and involved over time, making it nearly impossible to explain to others seeking guidance. With so many unique examples and vague descriptions, is it any wonder that many find it difficult to explore M/s-centered Service successfully no matter how often they’ve walked down this road?

The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Intensive Workshop provides both sides of the / with a framework to explore, build, navigate, and even potentially RE-negotiate functional Service-Based M/s engagements that are more fulfilling and rewarding while creating shared expectations and positive outcomes.

During this Workshop Intensive attendees will complete their individual Service Languages workbook (digital version shared prior to session) to capture their reflections and assessments of both giving and receiving service.

DominaKat

DominaKat is an avid BDSM blogger and advocate since 2010 who continues to be inspired by the divine intersection of Spiritual connection, deep authentic BDSM, and primal hedonistic sex. She currently identifies as a right-leaning S&M switch and as owned property in Power Exchange circles. She has been active in the NYC Lifestyle Community since 2017.

In 2018 DominaKat became the Co-Lead for NYC slave Munches/Meetings, a sacred space for those who identify as slave/property to come together in a safe setting to explore, enhance, and deepen their slave journeys. NYCsM Circles are topic-focused discussions, specifically tailored to drive purposeful, meaningful, POSITIVE growth in a slave’s journey.

DominaKat is also the Co-Founder & Co-Lead of S&M.NYC where she has brought together Sadists and Masochists for in-depth discussions since 2019. Unsatisfied with 101 sessions and technical skills-focused trainings in the community, she sought to elevate the conversation of S&M through small group, topic-focused meetings with tailored discussion questions that nurture participants to share their nuanced approaches to S&M play.

As a lifetime BIPOC Ally/Advocate/Co-Conspirator she has blended this passion with her Lifestyle Community involvement by actively supporting efforts to create safe, welcoming kink and Leather spaces for the BIPOC Community. In December 2019, she enthusiastically entered the Leather Lifestyle as an Associate Member of ONYX Pearls NY-NE, where she has served on the Executive Operations, Road Captain, and Marketing Committees. In addition she was a charter member of The Leather Solidarity Collective (LSC) and Project Manager for LSC’s Events & UPRISE! Conference from Jan 2021 - Apr 2023. She is also the Founder of the Ally to Advocate to Warrior Project, dedicated to encouraging intentional and thoughtful improvement of allyship and advocacy in the Lifestyle.

In 2022, DominaKat launched several classes including The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Relationships & Dynamics and The 12 Goals of S&M Scenes. She has presented at/for SPLF 2023, MsC Worldwide 2022, The Leather Solidarity Collective, UPRISE! 2022, MsC 2022, TES Fest 2022, SCK Events, ONYX Pearls NY-Northeast, S&M.NYC, and NYC slave Meetings.
