Mentor Dom 101

A mentor's authority is the authority of someone who has been where you are going and chose to come back and show you the way.

This course explores the Mentor Dom role: what genuine mentorship in BDSM looks like, how authority rooted in experience differs from other forms of Dominance, and what ethical mentorship requires. You will move from understanding the role's foundations, through its inner experience and core skills, into the practical work of guiding someone's development with care and accountability.
