Auntie Vice's Workshops


Setting the Scene with the Six Senses

When we plan a scene, we often think about activities (e.g., flogging, whipping) and location. Beyond that, we tend to let the other senses go unaddressed. This is a missed opportunity to change the entire feeling of a scene. Utilizing the five senses and energy can tap in to deep emotional and physical connections for people. Learn how to clean the energy of a space (public or private), and manipulate things like sound, lighting, and smells to create new, heightened and amazing scenes. This class will definitely up your game!
