Teaching is a passion for us. It's one of our very favorite things to do. We have taught (both together and on our own) for a variety of groups and events including Charmed!, Entranced, Beguiled, NEEHU, KinkyCon, and The Fetish Fair Fleamarket. If you'd like to have us teach for your group in person or virtually, message us and lets work something out!
In Person Only
Are you a hypnokinkster looking to diversify your induction repertoire, or see how other's approach hypnotic inductions? HypnoStory and panda created this class just for you! As a taste of their video intensive "A Hypnokinkster's Guide to Inductions", they will demonstrate and teach a sampling of hypnotic inductions from the classic to the wacky.
Now more than ever, we understand the broad range of neurodiversity within our community. Expanding skill sets in methods of communication, understanding how to tap into multiple modalities and recognizing there is no one size fits all technique are all part of the necessary hypnokinkster’s toolbox. This class, led by two neurospicy presenters with ADHD, will demystify some things, validate your experiences, and offer tips, tricks, and troubleshooting for working with the complexities of the neurodiverse brain!
When you think of the word “brat”, what comes to mind? Silly, irreverent, impish, playful energy used within play? A top using mindfucks and the element of surprise to amuse themselves and torture their bottom? Times in the past when someone used being a brat as an excuse for nonconsensual teasing? All of these are completely valid experiences that may result in anything from piquing interest to turning someone off of bratting altogether.
Join HypnoStory and panda, two self (and peer) identified brats as they explore what bratting is and isn’t, elaborate on how to brat ethically by communicating, give lots of “encouragement” on how to incorporate bratting into play, show how to mix hypnokink into your bratting play and display an unpredictable amount of bratty chaos!
Note: there is also a less hypno focused version of this class. Just let us know which is better for your group
Creating Contrast
Dominance, Submission and Hypnosis
In a long distance relationship, but would still like to have a scene with your partner? Have some impossible or impossibly dangerous fantasies you would like to enact? Hypnosis, like most kinks, can exist within a standalone scene or act as a powerful tool within the larger toolbox of BDSM. This class will explore ways hypnosis can be used to enhance other kinks, how aspects of broader BDSM may heighten the effects of hypnosis, and how hypnosis can be used to safely and effectively communicate while still involving the element of surprise. The class will contain demos which will include - partial nudity, impact, arousal and orgasm, intense D/s, and hypnotic knife play.
In Person Only
This workshop is right what it says on the tin! Designed for folks with at least a bit of hypnosis experience, this will be a chance to immediately implement what you learn. We will go through a series of inductions ranging from quick and dirty to the drawn out plateau before the big drop. This is a highly interactive and practice based class. Please either come with a friend, or be comfortable pairing with someone else in class.
Ageplay and Hypnosis
Beginning our journeys into hypnokink, we are often taught to be precise with our language. Many of us have learned what happens when your language usage is less than precise, and the often hilarious or fascinating outcomes that ensue! What if we purposely used ambiguous language and let the chips fall where they may? How about turning the brain into a random reaction generator? Prepare for some bratting, a battle of wits and a lot of wackiness as we explore what it looks like to have the brain choose its own adventure.
Consensual non-consent is a type of play that is fantasized about, sought after, questioned, and sometimes warned against. HypnoStory and panda believe that it certainly has its risks, like with any other kink, and that the risk level depends on your approach. They also believe that it is a play style that can be done thoughtfully and ethically with careful negotiation and ongoing communication! Together, they will touch on basics, ethics, and negotiation in and out of a hypnokink lens, as well as demonstrate how it works in their relationship. Come with questions, let’s bust some myths!
Gripping. Evocative. Sensuous. Immersive. The stories we read take us on a journey and make us feel. Wherever you are in your hypnokink journey, the art of storytelling aids your scene building and sparks the creative process. Join HypnoStory and panda, informed by their theater training, as they discuss and demonstrate the process of starting from a concept and weaving a story. Topics will include fleshing out fantasies and concepts, creating a story arc and creatively utilizing the tools already at your disposal to build a multisensory, collaborative scene.

Want to be seen as the demon you are, horns and all? How about a vampire scene to turn on and terrify your partner beyond the use of role play? If that’s not your scene, are you interested in making a real life adaptation of Monsters Inc.? It can be hard to think of ways to make playing with monsters feel more potent, but that’s where hypnosis comes in! HypnoStory and panda will talk about the different ways we play with monsters and using hypnokink to create more fantastical tales and immersive scenes and demonstrate how it works for them.
Snuggles, spirals, sliders and dials, sensual touch…there are so many ways to connect and communicate kinesthetically! Whether on its own or in combination with other input, the use of touch in hypnokink can enhance connection and intimacy, increase understanding, convey intent, and aid us all when words may fail. HypnoStory and panda will demonstrate various ways hypnotic touch is used in their play and offer considerations for negotiation, lead exploration in how we can feel more embodied, and share their ideas on fun ways enhance our play!
We are always hypnokinksters, so while these classes don't expect any knowlege or interest in hypno, we'll adapt to the audience and will add hypnokink content when we teach them in a hypnokinky context. Since hypnokink is part of so much we do, there's also some examples and demos, but we can ramp that way up for a hypno audience.

What is ageplay, anyway? Aren’t they all just Littles? I definitely don’t want a Daddy or Mommy, is ageplay still possible? How can I get started as an ageplayer? Get answers to all these common questions and so much more! We’ll have some thought experiments, think about our “why”s, talk about the broad range of identities within ageplay, and throw out some ideas about fun ways to play with it!

Tired just reading that last paragraph? We sometimes are, too! Join us as HypnoStory and panda tell stories, ramble on some soapboxes, and share tips and tricks for how they maintain multiple relationships involving power dynamics.
The smell of polish, the feeling of leather in your hands, the pressure of a boot on your thigh or chest, taking part in a time honored Leather tradition...if any of that resonated, this may be the class for you! Panda will provide some background, share what's in its boot kit, and walk the class through the steps of caring for leather from dirty to laced and loved.
