We often invest energy and care into the beginning of our dynamics—but what happens when they shift, dissolve, or come to an end? Whether it’s a breakup, a planned transition, or an unexpected loss, endings are an inevitable part of dynamic-based relationships. And yet, they’re rarely talked about.
This class explores the emotional, practical, and relational aspects of closing a power exchange with clarity and intention—because how we end matters just as much as how we begin.
