About the Group
The Exchange Circle is a confidential, judgment-free support group designed for individuals in power exchange (PE) dynamics and BDSM relationships. Here, you’ll find a space of guidance, understanding, and community to navigate the unique challenges of these lifestyles.
Open to anyone in consensual power exchange relationships, whether you’re a Dominant, submissive, switch, or simply exploring your role.

Each meeting provides a balance of discussion, peer support, and education, encouraging participants to share experiences, challenges, and successes in a safe, open environment.
Topics we explore include:
- Healthy communication in power dynamics
- Setting and maintaining boundaries

- Self-care within intense dynamics
