Classes and Events

My playspace and dungeon Sub Rosa PDX hosts regular classes and events. Our classes are always a good opportunity to meet me and other like-minded folks and get an accessible introduction to the world of kink and BDSM. We encourage those at any stage of exploration as well as solo attendees and couples. Our bootcamps are geared toward femmes seeking confidence and hands-on skills (read the descriptions carefully), but all other classes are open to anyone. Most of these events I will be there, but some of these classes are taught primarily by my business partner Natasha Strange. See our upcoming events below or on our website.

50 Shades of STFU

Fourth Thursdays • 8pm • Sanctuary Club • $20

50 Shades of STFU is every fourth Thursday. Hosted by yours truly with Co-Host & Head DM Maeve McBride, 50 Shades of STFU is a kinky play party, social event, and performance venue for fem tops and the individuals who serve and worship them. We have been home at Sanctuary Club downtown since 2017.

We aim to create an inclusive space for LGBTQ, pansexual, queer, or straight subs and their fem tops. A variety of performances kick off the evening, everything from drag, to strip, to intense performative kink scenes. More info can be found at PDXSanctuary.com and on Fetlife by following my account (@xoViola) and viewing my upcoming events.

If you’re a cis male dom this is really not the event for you. If you wanna switch it up and explore your subby side you are welcome to come. Check your entitlement at the door & see dress code.

BIPOC folks please reach out to events@spitandglitter.com for a spot on the guestlist for free entry. If you are experiencing financial hardship or if cost is a barrier please reach out for a spot as well. Otherwise, tix can be purchased at door!

*Playspaces, St. Andrews cross, semi-private areas, spanking benches, and hard points available.

Covid Safety for STFU:
While Sanctuary does not require proof of vaccination for most events, we have chosen to require proof of vaccination for this event.
