CLASS #1

Slave Selection and Initial Training (Course overview)

While training someone, have you ever wished you had seen a "red flag" concerning your slave's behavior just a little bit sooner? Have you ever wondered, "where did I go wrong?" If the answer is "yes," this class is for you! Simon will explore primary issues, methods, and considerations involved in selecting a stable play partner, submissive, or slave. Other course topics will include techniques to discover your wants, needs and standards before the application process begins, reviewing petitions and what to look for (and what to watch out for), conducting "the trial," authentic evaluation, the grave importance of initial training that transcends mere positions and how you like your coffee, enhanced training concepts, and most important, the "then what?" after some form of commitment is made. If you are a Master, Mistress, Dom/me, etc, currently with an opening in your House for a slave, submissive, etc, then this is the class for you!

CLASS #2

Bringing Spirituality & Connection into Your Scene (Course overview)

This class is an opportunity to start you on a path towards learning how to connect with yourself, what you use when playing and the human being you play with. The class includes both a discussion and an interactive workshop for those who wish to bring their favorite flogger, singletail, paddle, bare hand, etc., and the person they play with for a guided hands-on workshop that will move you away from being a mere impact player and closer to someone who creates moments the two of you will remember for a lifetime. WARNING: This is an intense class and it will change your life forever. As one previous attendee wrote "I strongly feel you should give a warning that if they are not ready for an intense scene in addition to seeing their relationship naked with all of its beauty and imperfections for the first time, they are in the wrong class."

CLASS #3

Blaise Wrap: Cling Play/Polyvinyl Suspensions (Course overview)

What is Blaise Wrap?

If you haven't heard about Simon Blaise thanks to his revolutionary innovations in fire play, you've undoubtedly heard something about his unbelievable suspensions with cling film/suran wrap/plastic wrap! It's actually called Blaise Wrap, which is a particular type of wrap (revealed in this class) that was virtually created for pulling off sexy and killer suspensions and other forms of bondage adventures that's fun for the whole kinky family!

Students will learn the capabilities and limitations of Blaise Wrap and how to begin practicing the application of a body harness and suspension basics safely in the privacy of their own home. The presentation will be followed by a step-by-step demonstration with one lucky girl. If you want to explore one of the more "heady", more comfortable, safer and versatile form of bondage that will provide your body and your mind with varying levels of sensation, then you should attend this seminar.

As part of the presentation Simon will discuss the core concepts of safety, learning your wrap, the various ways you can introduce your partner to this form of bondage, wrapping principles and techniques for both ground and air bondage, and suggestions on how to safely progress from partial ground bondage to full flying mummification suspensions. Simon will also be available during the nightly members-only parties to coach interested members of the class who wish to try out this exciting and intense form of bondage for themselves.

For those of you who like intricate, sexy and flashy bondage scenes, then you won't want to miss this one!

CLASS #4

Own Your Kink (Course overview)


Have you ever fantasized what it would be like to have the ability to life your life on your own terms without caring what other people think? What if others had no choice but to accept you for who you are? Would you let your full true self out of its cage? If this has peeked your curiosity, this may be the class for you. Simon will go over the primary "word prisons" that we and others around us impose upon each other and some ways we can break out of those word prisons. WARNING: This is an intense class that will change your life forever. As one past attendee wrote a few months after the class, "After your class, I escaped the four main word prisons and I now have a whole new set of friends who don't want to lock me up into what they expect me to be for them! I wake up smiling now. I even love myself a little more and find myself getting excited about all the possibilities that were once stored away in my head labeled as unattainable fantasies. I only wish I had attended your class 10 years ago."

CLASS #3

Blaise Sticks: Taking Your Fire Play to the Next Level (Course overview)

What exactly are Blaise Sticks?

Simon's innovation in fire play "Blaise Sticks" are fast becoming an international phenomenon! Blaise Sticks are a particular type of fire torch crafted by the hand of Simon Blaise himself that have an inner super-absorbent core, an advanced and luxuriously soft wicking material and sturdy handles that allow for a safer fueling method and longer burn-times that keep you in the scene longer and refueling less (10 to 20 minutes depending on model and fuel content) -- all of which take fire play to the next level.

After a brief safety and basic fire play technique discussion, Simon will discuss preliminary techniques to help students safely acquaint themselves with fire, its capabilities as a sensation tool, and inherent risks.

During the hands-on segment of the class, Simon will work with a limited number of couples and discuss different techniques, basic and/or advanced, based on each pairs' exhibited skill set. Simon will also be available during the nightly parties to coach interested members of the class who wish to try out this exciting and intense form of play for themselves.

For those of you who want to heat things up in your dungeon without the number one cause of all fire play accidents as an issue anymore, this class is a must see!

slave Selection & Initial Training
with Simon Blaise
-- 1pm to 5pm --
Read Simon's bio here.
This is a workshop exploring the issues, methods, and considerations involved in selecting your slave and how to initiate training in a postive, healthy and constructive way. All experience levels welcomed. Course fee $35  

TESTIMONIALS:

"Simon's workshop on slave selection and initial training provided me with greater insight into the entire process of starting a BDSM relationship. He covered everything from attracting potential submissives both online and in person, to selecting the right one, to testing them in a trial period. While I realize that there are as many ways of going about this process as there are Dom's, to hear such an in depth and well presented approach provided me with a number of useful tools which I will be able to employ both to effectively pursue my ideal relationship(s), and to protect myself from undesirable situations. Thank you Simon!"
 
-Sage
 
"Simon, I wanted to thank you again for the slave selection & training course! The class covered an immense amount of pertinent material and your personal experiences put a lot of things into perspective. The information you presented in the class enabled me to take an informed step back from my current methodology and make some much needed adjustments. The most important thing that I learned is that I was giving far too much and not taking enough. I feel that after your class, I have a better understanding as to how I can build and maintain an M/s relationship that works."

-Meister Schmerz 
 
"The Slave selection course presented by BDSM Mentors and taught by Simon Blaise was informative, to say the least. As a slave owner in a poly D/s relationship I found the class to be refreshing giving me a fresh perspective on the process of slave selection. I enjoyed the way Simon shares personal experiences to describe effective D/s interaction in the interview and selection process. I would recommend this class to any Dominant/Top who is looking to refine their selection process."

"I was in one of the other workshops, but after hearing what your workshop was about, wish I had switched."

Testimonials:

"Mr. Blaise,

I was very impressed with your presentation on slave selection and initial training at Thunder in the Mountains. Coming from the perspective of an unowned slave, there is a lot that can be taken from your words on both sides of the M/s dynamic.

I especially appreciated your candor when it comes to having a "there's the door" policy. I've seen a few friends make the mistake of pacifying someone to keep them around, and that never ends well.

I wanted to thank you sincerely for presenting and I hope to see you there next year.

--A."

    "Its not everyday I meet someone who sees things about BDSM like me so I keep what I do pretty much to myself and after sitting in your class, I think sharing ideas and mistakes/lessons with other Masters and being more open can only help our growing community. You said so much in your class that I have been afraid to say or even think for myself for many years. Your heart-felt approach and open honest disclosure about how you have trained slaves and what mistakes you have made and what you have learned really made your class the best class at TIM for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Simon.

--MK


I found your presentation both mind-boggling and interesting at the same time. It definitely inspired thought.
--a

"It's probably a bit late for this, but,  I attended your slave selection and initial training class at Thunder this year along with my then boyfriend, who is now my Daddy. It was an excellent class. We enjoyed it very much."
 
--s

"My Boyfriend was in Your slave selection class and was really impressed with Your knowledge of thought training and word associations.

Anyways, my Boyfriend and i were both very impressed with You, Your knowledge and overall confidence. Dominates tend to walk around on eggshells and W/we found it refreshing to see someone close to our age with a bit of an attitude.

Great job!!!"

--p

Your open and honest approach really hit home with U/us. It helped U/us see O/our own problems that we are now working on with much success!!!!! Thank You Simon.

--R&t

I had the pleasure of attending a course of Simon's at Thunder this year, "Slave Selection and Initial Training", and was not only impressed by His presentation but also impressed with the fact that this sort of solid information is starting to flow through the scene.

We will discuss the core concepts of safety, the various ways you can introduce your partner to this form of bondage, wrapping principles and techniques for both ground and air bondage, and suggestions on how to safely progress from partial ground bondage to full flying mummification suspensions. In order to enhance the total learning experience, Simon will have his slave, on hand for demonstration purposes. Simon will also be available during the nightly members-only parties to coach students interested members of the class who wish to try out this exciting and intense form of bondage for themselves. For those of you who like intricate and flashy bondage scenes, then you won’t want to miss this one!

"Hey there Simon. I only caught your first class and it was great! Never knew you could suspend someone with plastic wrap. Though I do love mummification, it's like two great things in one package. So thanks for the great new ideas.

 
Thanks again for the great class and ideas. I look forward to seeing you around at least online.

"I can't believe someone so young can do what you do and know what you know. Thank you for expanding my mind on play with the suspension class and M-s relationships with your selection class. We loved your fire play too and have never seen anything like that it was like you were the fire. Any chance you can teach a class on fire next year? I also wanted to say that taking the time to help those couples at the party with their suspension was awesome of you.
