@Empress_ will be presenting More Bang for Your Buck: How to Get the Most Out of Your Play Party! See below for a more detailed description. As always, the workshop will be followed by open club hours and a takeover play party.

(No Cash Accepted at the Door!)

What is the topic this month?

Whether you're a seasoned play party veteran or a nervous newcomer to the scene, this class is full of helpful tips to get more from your time at a play party. We will cover topics such as preparation beforehand, ideas for introspection and self-awareness, adapting play to your needs and the needs of your partner, basic safety and etiquette, top/bottom drop and aftercare, continued support, learning, and growth beyond party time, and more!

If you have an interest in teaching at TNGM events, please contact @lexical or @StrangerFriend! We're always working on finding more presenters for future workshops, so please visit the Workshop Poll thread and let us know what topics you'd like to see presented in the coming months!

Who can attend?

Anyone over the age of 18! Seriously, anyone***. Folks of all identities, orientations, expressions, genders, races, religions, abilities, and skill levels are welcome and encouraged to attend.

While TNGM Munches and Socials are only open to folks aged 18-35 and their partners, TNGM Educational Events and Play Parties are open to anyone over 18! That might seem a little weird, but remember - TNGM is intended to provide a safe, consent-conscious space for individuals to learn and grow amongst their peers, to link them to the community as a whole, and to provide them with support and resources as they explore kink, BDSM, leather, and other adjacent topics. In short, we want to be sure that TNGM provides a space for younger folks, while also enhancing the Madison kink community as a whole. Think of TNGM Munches and Socials as an opportunity to meet and build relationships with your peers and TNGM Educational Events and Play Parties as an opportunity to bring those friendships along as we contribute to the community at large. It's gonna be awesome.

***Attendance at the Freyja Project requires either membership or guesting in by a member. See below for more information!

How much does it cost?

The workshop itself is ONLY FIVE BUCKS! How amazing is that? You can attend JUST the workshop for FIVE DOLLARS, even if you are not a member of the Freyja Project! If you want to stay after the workshop for the play party you must be a member or guest of a member of The Freyja Project.

The Freyja Project offers membership access at an incredibly affordable $15 A YEAR. That's it! Just $15 dues for access all year long! That's bonkers. In order to attend events, members have two options: Monthly Access Passes ($35 - free entry to the majority of events hosted at the center) or Day Passes ($10-15 - entry to an individual event). In other words, if you plan to attend 2 or more events at the Freyja within one month, it's most cost effective to simply purchase a Monthly Pass.

Not a member of the Freyja Project? (I mean...Why not? Did I mention it's only $15 for the whole year?) Just wanna go one time to this awesome TNGM event (or one of many others held at the center? Not to worry. Just find a member to guest you in in advance (also $15)!
