Online Workshop: Anticipatory Service

Service is a complex and sacred part of Power Exchange Dynamics. When we are able to serve with skill and tact that comes from anticipation = observation + communication, we can create the most delicious feelings in our relationships. As service providers, it is easy to burn ourselves out and needlessly suffer emotionally when attempting to Do All The Things. And when our self worth comes into play, things can get hairy and confusing.

For their 2 hour workshop, midnight mayhem will dive deep into:

• Practical tips for enhancing service and personal organization
• Observation and communication techniques for creating a magic feeling of anticipatory service
• Communication techniques for expressing what you need and desire
• Provide the space for self exploration of WHY we serve
• Open a discussion about emotional health, healthy attachment, and internal vs. external validation as it pertains to performing acts of service
• And end with an open Q&A
