HMU Academy: Intro to High Protocol (for Power Play)

This Hit Me Up event is open to the public, 21+.

About the Class

If you gravitate toward power dynamics and if any (or many) of these words excite you, you should consider exploring High Protocol.

• Formality. Structure. Rules. Discipline. Protocols. Procedure. Mindfulness. Training. Inspection. Pomp and Circumstance.
• Cigar social. Auctions. Tea service. Formal dinner party.
• Training of O. Venus in Furs. Eyes Wide Shut. The Marketplace Series. Exit to Eden.
  

In this class, we'll discuss:

• What are protocols vs rules
• What is High Protocol
• Who is best suited for High Protocol
• Some standard High Protocols to get started now – solo, with a partner, or at events
• What High Protocol parties can look like
• How you can create your own High Protocol event
  

Plus there will be two parts of the class -- near the beginning and intermission -- where you'll get to meet and interact with other people interested in High Protocol!
