Pillar II · Classes & Community Events

Public Education

Classes run monthly — virtually and in person in Boston. No intake required to attend. This is where most people begin their relationship with Shadow Play Labs and with this work.

Workshop · 2 hours

Single Educational Workshops

$45–$75 per ticket

Lecture and demonstration sessions focused on a single topic. Virtual and in-person formats run monthly. Accessible entry point — no experience required, no intake necessary.

Series · 3–4 weeks

Masterclass Intensives

$250–$500 per series

A structured cohort series with curriculum, peer practice, and direct feedback. For practitioners ready to build a real foundation — not collect one-off skills. Cohorts are kept small by design.

Community · Boston

Public Social Events

$30–$60 per ticket

Vetted, high-protocol community gatherings in the Boston metro area — play spaces, social nights, and community celebrations for queer and straight kinksters alike. Spaces where the work and the joy of it coexist.
