Imagining Your Ideal Death: Queer and Trans Workshop

We’re proud to welcome Chicago-based, Queer Death Doula, Katherine Adams (they/she). They’ll be facilitating this “empowering and connective as fuck” queer and trans workshop at The RACK.
From the community member:
“For many queer and trans folks in Michigan (many from rural, stifling and oppressed backgrounds), we’re rarely asked about how we truly WANT to live, let alone, die. Many are scared and feel isolated, and our ‘next of kin’ are sometimes NOT people we have good relationships with.”
Katherine invites us to be in community in our deaths, allowing us to turn towards one another, make plans, and build up our support systems together.
Drinks and snacks provided, you can also bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks if you like.

Expansively Creative Hypnosis
Join Soledad Domina to gain a fresh understanding of recreational hypnosis and invite all your creativity and intuition into your hypno play.
As humans, we are natural experts at recreational hypnosis! Understanding hypnosis as intuitive to us as storytelling allows us to bring in our fullest creativity and instinct, playing past the bounds of heightened reality and into the realm of being things we are not, feeling things we cannot, and believing things we hadn't thought to believe.
In this class, we'll build a foundational understanding of hypnosis and hypnotic play, and build a fluid toolbox to:
mitigate risk for safer play;
utilize desire to generate outside-of-the-box ideas for scenes and suggestions;
cultivate richer trance states (as the hypnotist and hypnotee);
and connect your creativity, expertise, and intuition to every step of your play.
Attendees will have the opportunity to workshop and practice trance-building skills, and will leave with a worksheet for building scenes from a spark of interest to a well-inhabited world.

Soledad Domina is first a member of the creatures who feel pleasure and pain, and have desires for themselves and their communities. A professional dominatrix, educator, artist, and hedonist, she has been intentionally playing with recreational hypnosis since late 2022. She centers her scenes around sensations and visions that excite her, and most enjoys scenes that are transformational and surreal, dig into vulnerability, and incite surprise in herself, her scene partners, and her audiences.
In and out of kink she engages with the ways that pleasure can illuminate paths to liberation. She's inspired by the decolonization of kink and social spaces, and is an ever-learning participant in the struggles for a more healed and pleasurable present and future. In Michigan, she enjoys supporting local artists and farmers; collaborating with other sex workers; and serving as a working board member for kink community spaces, including @TheGallery and @TheRACKgr.
