Ever gone into a conversation intending to ask for something you wanted, but walked away with something entirely different?
Ever been made to feel powerless by a single comment, or found yourself answering an intrusive question you really didn’t want to answer?
Then you already know what it feels like when power dynamics go wrong.
Imagine knowing the precise recipe for steering them right, in every area of your life. It starts with harnessing the power of the Dominant and Submissive states of attention.
If you’ve read Unbound or studied at The Academy before and want to focus exclusively on understanding the Dominant and Submissive states of attention, this class will support you in a deeper application of power dynamics.
Only class at the academy that focuses exclusively on Power Dynamics.
If this is your first class at The Academy, it is the perfect place to start.
Consider this:
Power is not a dirty word.
Many regard “power dynamics” as a series of games abusers play. That is an accurate descriptions of power dynamics gone wrong.
Fortunately, you already know what it feels like when power dynamics go right: that’s when the best collaboration, the most stimulating conversations, the most epic sex happens.
When you learn to play skillfully and lovingly with power dynamics, your world changes.
You can allow yourself to deeply surrender, because you have unshakeable confidence in your ability to get out of trouble and reclaim your agency when you need to. You can command, lead and wield power, but know how to use it with care and compassion.
It means there’s no conversation you have to be scared of. There’s nothing you can't ask for, no correction you can’t issue, no proposition you can’t decline.
