Athena Kali

Boundless Detroit S&M Symposium

February 21, 22, & 23

“A weekend of kink focused education, parties and art”

BDSM/Kink Influenced Presenters

Athena Kali is a lifestyle BDSM and queer presenter with over a decade of fun tormenting and teasing her squirming prey for audiences' perving pleasure.  Together with partners & pets Icarus, Ruin, and Astraea, classes from this dynamic polyamorous 24/7 D/s team focus on empowering people with the tools of control, connection, female-led relationships, and rope to create kink that satisfies, fulfills, and lasts.

Her classes are designed for all bodies, genders, and relationship configurations, and emphasize a female-led style with equal parts love, torture, and creativity.  Athena has organized weekend-long femdom workshops, a Wicked Women Female-Led Rope Con, and is the curator of Dudes in Distress, a queer/rainbow/femdom erotic art collective. She has taught at over 130 events across the U.S., is a professional public speaker, relationship educator, and teacher, and runs a queer kinky social club in New York.

“My approach to teaching is radically inclusive pedagogy.  I have over a decade of professional presenting and teaching experience and pride myself in creating learning experiences that educate, empower, and invigorate. Our D/s, rope, and other forms of kink are built on deep connection - and we share that connection together in class. Our team teaches almost exclusively hands-on classes and we use the Kink Education Code of Conduct. When we facilitate discussion we elevate empathy above expertise.  Nobody needs a Mx. Know-it-All sucking the life out of the room.  We're pro-genderfuckery. Our classes are equal opportunity distress spaces.  Your gender identity is respected in our teaching spaces. Dudeliness and ladyness are self-identifiers meant to be claimed, fucked with, discarded, and worn like a crown to subvert the patriarchy and delight in the sublime.  Sirs who submit, zirs who switch, bois who fuck boys and dudes who love labias, bitches and bros and misses: you’re all welcome here.”
