Curious about Impact Play but not sure where to start? Join us for The Art of Impact: Floggers, Paddles, & Pleasure, a playful and informative introduction to the world of consensual strikes, sensations, and connection. Whether you're a newbie to the scene or just looking to explore the delicious thrill of impact, this workshop will guide you through the basics with safety, fun, and exploration in mind.

We'll explore the different tools of the trade—from the sharp sting of canes to the thuddy embrace of paddles, the sensual dance of floggers, and the intimate smack of bare hands. You'll learn about proper techniques, communication, and safety practices to ensure a pleasurable experience for both you and your partner.

Topics we'll cover include:

● Understanding sensation: How different tools create different feelings.

● Safety first: Essential tips for safe impact play, including negotiation, consent, and

aftercare.

● Tools of the trade: Explore paddles, floggers, canes, and barehand techniques.

● Building intimacy through play: How impact play can deepen trust and connection.

Bring your curiosity, questions, and an open mind as we create a safe, supportive space to explore this dynamic form of BDSM. Whether you're interested in sensation play, discipline, or simply adding a bit of spice to your relationship, you'll walk away with new skills and confidence to take into your kink journey.

Earth and Salt

Earth and Salt is the modern adult store, committed to your pleasure, your way. Our approach to pleasure is holistic and inclusive, as we know that pleasure is possible for everyone, but it looks different from person to person. We also believe that creating a daily connection to physical pleasure, sensuality, and sex is a transformative process, individually and collectively. 

We sell a curated array of body-safe products that enable our customers to center themselves in their bodies, access their pleasure, and confirm sex and desire as parts of a healthy lifestyle. 

As part of our commitment to pleasure for all, Earth and Salt is also committed to social justice as an intrinsic part of our mission. As such we de-gender the sex toy store model, affirm individuals in their identities through our product and class offerings, and support businesses and sex educators from marginalized groups. 

​Our vendor roster is always 50% or more businesses owned by individuals from marginalized groups. We also donate a percent of sales every month to the BIPOC Urban Farm and Wholeness Center in Winooski, VT.
