Unlock the secrets of your partners' communication style in your M/s or D/s relationship (and learn a bit about your own as well). Learn to decode the meanings below the surface of their words and begin to understand how to improve your communications, whether for service, protocol, power exchange or play. Based on the psychological theories of Dr. Clare W. Graves and extensive research into Spiral Dynamics, this workshop explores how our individual internal values affect the way we communicate, and how we interpret and react to the words of others.

We'll discuss five specific "colors of communication" with distinct personal values:

• Red - Power and action 
• Blue - Stability and order
• Orange - Goals and opportunity
• Green - Harmony and peace
• Yellow - Independence and exploration

As a Dominant or Master/Mistress, recognizing someone's value preferences can help you better understand how to effectively communicate to motivate, reward and inspire them to greater levels of service and submission. As a submissive or slave, realizing a Dominant's underlying values can help you better express yourself and react in a positive way to their unspoken values and priorities. We'll even talk about how the different colors of communication perceive each other's values. Learn how to best avoid the misunderstandings, conflict and confusion that can occur in any relationship... it's easier when you can unlock the secret code!

This workshop includes a short quiz to help participants understand their communication style preferences and where they fall on the color communication spectrum. Discussion of each style leads into detailed information on how to apply this knowledge in one's relationships. Depending on workshop length, which can vary from approximately 1.5 to 2.5+ hours to suit your organization's needs, role play to demonstrate different styles and interactions may also be included.
