TOMORROW (09/13) at Mixers!
It’s Eagle in Exile! Come learn a thing or two at Mixers Kink Academy!
Where curiosity meets community.
Once a quarter, during Eagle in Exile Sundays, Mixers transforms from your favorite q***r nightlife spot, into something a little more… instructive.
Mixers Kink Academy is an educational experience built for the leather, kink, and q***r communities—whether you’re brand new, quietly curious, or deeply experienced and looking to refine your craft. This is a space where questions are welcome, exploration is encouraged, and learning happens without judgment.
Expect a rotating lineup of workshops, demos, and discussions led by trusted local educators, seasoned players, and community leaders.
The vibe stays true to Mixers—welcoming, affirming, and unapologetically q***r—while centering education, harm reduction, and real connection. Come to learn. Stay to connect. Leave more confident than you arrived.
Our presenters are:

Canes: Who Says They Have To Hurt?
Bio: Angelo DiMarino has been part of the leather community for the past 20+ years. He enjoys taking the time to educate people about kink, kink safety, and being part of the Leather Community. He is Husbear to pup River, and Head of Household for the Fellowship of the Fidgets. Feel free to hit him up for a scene to remember.

*Madame Tak (She/Themme)
Flogging 201: Timing, Technique & Two-Handed Flow
Bio: Madame Tak is a sadistic sweetheart, with a strikingly versatile approach to making each scene as unique as those in it. She's a proud member of several clubs, including being a Vixxens Leather Club Founding Fox and a Mid-Atlantic Rubber Club board member. In her time managing Club Orpheus, she ran multiple fe**sh nights monthly, served on the board for Cyrenaics and BESS, while also providing kink education and demos throughout the DMV. With a deep dedication to Community, her passion and commitment to others is clear, while her skills, sharp tongue and wit have been used for classes, demonstrations, kidnappings, podcasts and in wet dreams coast to coast.
Description: We'll explore how timing and rhythm influence sensation, communication, and scene dynamics, along with therapeutic approaches to flogging that emphasize relaxation, stress relief, and body awareness through intentional technique. Students will also learn the foundations of two-handed flogging, including coordination, flow, accuracy, and transitioning between patterns to create a more fluid experience with a hands-on, technique-focused class with opportunities to practice and receive feedback in a supportive, consent-centered environment.
