SUMMARY:AFA Thursday May 14th Munch and Tour!
DESCRIPTION:Li Wah Chinese Restaurant\, inside Asia Plaza. Enter via the south\, Payne Ave entrance.\n2999 Payne Avenue\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44114 \nThe Academy Munch is a casual gathering of folks to simply enjoy good food and great conversation in a vanilla setting. While play parties are more exciting\, there never seems to be as much time as we’d like to just sit\, talk and really get to know other Academy members. The Academy Munch is a great place to do that. \nThis is also a perfect opportunity for new folks who want to see what kind of people are involved in the Cleveland Kink and Fetish Community. If you’ve been curious about The Academy-AFA or just kink\, fetish and BDSM in general\, then please join us. You probably have questions\, and you’d like some answers. We look forward to meeting you and sharing some good information. \nWe can sit (we can be found at the round tables straight back from the hostess stand against the wall) and chat together and have a great meal at an excellent and authentic Chinese restaurant. You can have an “adult beverage” if you like\, and get to know some of our amazing community members. After dining\, there will be a quick drive over to The Academy\, just a few blocks away\, including a free guided tour for any who are interested in seeing the place with the lights (and clothing) on. \nThe munch and tour are both open to all individuals\, regardless of membership or vaccination status. The Munch is free to attend of course. Just pay for what you eat and drink. The tour is complimentary also; because we’re proud to show off our space. \nFor more information about the Academy-AFA including\, rules and membership\, please visit our website at https://cle-afa.com \nPlease join us at:\nLi Wah\n2999 Payne Avenue\,\nCleveland\, OH 44114 \nCome into Asia Plaza via the South\, Payne Ave entrance. Li Wah is just a short walk inside on the left. Otherwise\, you’ll have to walk all the way through the mall. Inside the restaurant\, as you walk in\, we’ll probably be seated in the center up against the back wall. Just a diverse group of folks who actually look like they’re enjoying themselves. Join us and find out why!

SUMMARY:AFA Saturday April 25th\, Impact 201 & Skills Lab with Ren
DESCRIPTION:Our class this month is Impact 201 taught by @callmeren . This class is offered as an introduction to the implements used in impact play. Impact is one of the significant ways that sensation is administered to the body and is often considered a starting point when entering the BDSM lifestyle. There will be hands on learning time during this class. Please feel free to bring your own implements or borrow some. \nBefore engaging in impact play\, it is important to understand a few fundamentals. While impact play can involve the use of a wide variety of implements\, the resultant sensations derived from their proper use should be understood by the participants. \nWe will begin to explore the types of impact items\, the variations of materials and design\, and how their sensations affect the body. There will also be a discussion on how different items are best used and the problem areas to avoid. An opportunity to try various items will follow the discussion. AFA has items available for use if attendees do not have their own. \nThis class is open to anyone who has an educational or full membership. Attendees may bring their own implements if they so choose. Doors open at 2:30. Class begins promptly at 3p.m. \nWhile we are kinky this event is not. Please come dressed in grandma friendly attire. \nThere is no cost to attend this class. Attendees must have either the educational membership (cost is $10 for a one year membership\, which can be upgraded to a full membership for $50 within the first 30 days of purchase by attending a new member orientation)\, or a full membership for $60 which can only be purchased after attending our new member orientation class. We do need to see your current government issued ID for age verification and for a RSO (registered sex offender) check. \nIf you are not a full member\, you may want to stay afterwards for our new member orientation\, which is a requisite class if you wish to become a full member. \nMembership is required if you wish to attend Academy – AFA lifestyle events. \nPlease take some time to learn a little more about the Academy of Fetish Arts by visiting our website at: https://www.cle-afa.com
