The 9 Service Languages | Intensive Session Wrap Up Thoughts

On Sunday, I wrapped up my first small group FULL INTENSIVE workshop that spanned 6+ hours over the course of 2 days. Anyone who has sat through my Intro class knows, The 9 Service Languages is a fucking BIG IDEA! When I first launched my class, I naively believed it could be tackled in a typical 90-minute or 2-hour session. I quickly learned that was impossible and that few platforms (cons, orgs, mtgs) had the ability to hold space for me and attendees to get DEEP in the weeds of WIITWD as it relates to Service. I am PROFOUNDLY HONORED that @S-O-C—the Service Oriented Conference—reached out to me earlier this year to be a part of their inaugural Intensive Program. They were the perfect partner with the perfect target audience for an Intensive of The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Relationships/Dynamics. The session allowed me to work with a small group as we got our hands dirty, dissecting where, when, how, and why we do Service and considered ways to adjust, tweak, evol...

Conferences Make Me...

At about the 15 minute mark of the first session of the Flame Conference yesterday. I absentmindedly shifted in my chair as I sipped my DIY mocha with instant coffee and ready whip.  (Suffering is real!) I listened to the speaker, scanned the slides, scribbled copious notes in my purple book most of you have seen in my lap.  Then my subconscious started knocking at my conscious...
Subconscious | ~knock knock~ Bitch, you paying attention???
Conscious | ~shifted in chair~  Huh? ~sips chocolate, coffee, cream~
Subconscious | GURL!  Has it really been that long that you don't even know what's up?
Conscious | What's up?  Where?  What?  Is there a fire?" ~sniff~  Has the apocalypse started?  ~listens~
{pigeon sounds}
Subconscious | ~groan!~
Conscious | Whaaaa...I'm in a conference session.  What is the issue?!?  ~shifts in chair~  Wait....oh shit!
Subconscious | Yeeeeessss, bitch...yeeeesssssssss!
Conscious | ~shifts in chair~  Huh... ~rubs thighs together~  DAMN!
Subconscious | SMH.  I'm done with you.  Have fun.
Conscious | ~rubs temple~  Bitch...what did you do this for?!?
{silence} 
I'd forgotten.

Conferences make me wet.  It's literally been 5 years since I've gone to a professional conference and apparently virtual kink conferences are no different.

In my late twenties, vanilla life sent me to numerous tech conferences a year.  Regardless of whether I was an attendee or presenting, without fail my sex drive would inadvertently slam into high gear.  I mean HIGH!  Some keynotes I'd be damn near panting.  Casual sex has rarely been my thing, so I wasn't connecting with anyone.  Hell...when I'm at a conference my focus is entirely on learning the new things!  No one would ever have called me a party girl by any means...well except for that MAX conference in New Orleans one Halloween.  ~wicked grin~

Despite no primary/obvious spark...despite no tangible physical, mental, or emotional engagement...my body would hunger to be fed.

What's interesting is that in my thirties, I'd shifted professionally and ended up running trade show booths at tech conferences.  Those grueling week-ish events never stirred my sex drive, so maybe it's the shift into full on intellectual headspace (that requires no responsibility as opposed to higher education) that allows my most core traits to seep up to the surface.

Yet...there's a surreal disconnect.  My body is ready, but my emotions and my mind are detached.  I've only ever had that same experience one other time.  My body sensed shit, my emotions and mind hadn't yet understood.  ~sigh~

Regardless...this weekend was a bit masochistic to say the least.  And not the fun kind.
