What Does It Feel Like to Take Control?
To let go? To step into a different role, explore an unfamiliar side of yourself, or discover a desire you didn’t know was there?
Join Cameron Edward Benton for three days of intriguing conversations, playful experiments, and guided experiences exploring the fascinating world of power dynamics.
We’ll explore what happens when we move beyond talking about power and actually begin to play with it.
Along the way, you might just discover something surprising about yourself, your desires, and how you relate to the people around you.
Bring your curiosity, a willingness to play, and whatever you’re hungry to discover.
A tiny taste, right now
Lead or Let Go?
Don’t think too hard. Which one pulls at you right now?
Tap one. There’s no wrong answer.
Notice that. The wanting is where dominance begins. On Day 2, we’ll play with what you do with it.
Notice that. Choosing to let go is its own kind of power. On Day 3, we’ll explore surrendering by choice.
Curiosity is enough. Day 1 starts right there: who has the power, and why?
Whatever you picked, notice what happened in your body when you chose it. That’s the taste. Now imagine three evenings of it.
Three Days. Three Delicious Explorations.
Day 1Tuesday, Nov 10
Who Has the Power?
What if power isn’t always where you think it is?
Who holds the power in a relationship? What makes someone dominant or submissive? And what happens when you change the way you look at things?
On Day 1, we’ll get curious about power itself, explore the roles and archetypes we encounter in our relationships, and challenge some of our assumptions about who holds power and why.
We’ll also explore the foundations that make consensual power exchange possible: trust, communication, boundaries, and the surprisingly powerful word NO.
Because sometimes, the freedom to say no is what opens the door to a whole world of delicious yeses.
Day 2Wednesday, Nov 11
D-Day: The Art of Dominance
What does your dominant side look and feel like?
Forget the stereotypes. You don’t need leather, a flogger, or a commanding voice to be dominant.
Dominance comes in countless forms. It can be bold, tender, nurturing, mischievous, playful, or something entirely your own.
We’ll explore what it means to connect with your desires, take the lead, and hold the responsibility that comes with another person’s trust.
Through guided explorations, you’ll have opportunities to experiment with different expressions of dominance and notice what comes alive in you.
What happens when you give yourself permission to want what you want, and ask for it?
Day 3Thursday, Nov 12
The Pleasure of Surrender
What happens when you allow yourself to let go?
What does it feel like to trust someone else to lead? To release control, receive direction, and surrender by choice?
We’ll explore the many faces of submission, the relationship between trust and surrender, and the surprising ways power can shift between people.
Through guided experiences and playful experiments, you’ll be invited to notice what happens when you step into this energy.
We’ll bring everything together by exploring the dance between dominance and submission, and how playing with these dynamics can reveal new possibilities in our relationships and everyday lives.
This Isn’t Just Another Masterclass.
We’re not here just to talk about power. We’re here to experience it.
Yes, there will be fascinating conversations, surprising perspectives, and plenty of opportunities to learn.
But the real invitation is to get curious about what power actually feels like to you.
Throughout our three days together, you can expect
Provocative conversations exploring dominance, submission, desire, surrender, and the surprising ways power shows up in our lives.
Playful micro-experiences that invite you to explore different energies, roles, postures, and perspectives, and notice what happens in your body.
The power of YES and NO. Explore what it feels like to express a boundary, receive one, and create the trust that makes exploration possible.
Discover the desires behind your desires. Get curious about what you actually want and what happens when you give yourself permission to explore it.
A little mischief and a lot of curiosity. Experiment, challenge your assumptions, and discover what might become possible when you approach power through play.
Come as you are: dominant, submissive, switch, curious, or somewhere in between. Explore on your own, or bring a partner if you’d like.Every guided experience is designed so you can participate individually, at your own pace.
You might just surprise yourself.
Come Live. Get the Full Experience.

Meet Your Host, Cameron
Explorer of life and consciousness. Host of Getting to Know You. Creator of Playing With Power.
Cameron Edward Benton is endlessly curious about what it means to be human, and the fascinating ways we experience desire, identity, power, and connection.
With a degree in philosophy and theology, a background in acting and experiential leadership, and nearly a decade spent exploring power dynamics through relationships, education, writing, and personal practice, Cameron brings a distinctly playful and inquisitive perspective to his work.
At Burning Man, Cameron created and facilitated an intimate power dynamics workshop for couples, designed to go beyond the usual tools and techniques of dominance and submission.
Rather than telling participants what power should look like, he invited them to experience it for themselves.
Through guided exercises exploring trust, desire, boundaries, leadership, and surrender, participants discovered surprising things about themselves, their partners, and the assumptions they brought into the experience.
One participant discovered that she had been associating dominance with degradation, and that she could use her dominant energy to empower her partner instead.
Another discovered an unexpected way to express her desires simply by changing the rules of the game.
These experiences reinforced something Cameron had long been fascinated by:
There are things we can learn about ourselves through play that we might never discover through conversation alone.
Through A Taste of Power, Cameron invites you to explore, experiment, get a little mischievous, and discover what happens when you step into the delicious dance of power.
Your Questions, Answered
Who is this for?
Anyone curious about power, whether you’ve been exploring dominance and submission for years or you’re just starting to wonder.
Can I bring a partner?
Absolutely! A Taste of Power is designed for you to explore and experience on your own, but you’re more than welcome to bring a partner or someone you’re curious to explore with. All exercises are designed to work individually, so you can participate fully either way.
What kind of activities will we be doing?
We’ll explore power dynamics through guided conversation, individual exercises, and reflection. Everything is designed to be accessible from wherever you’re joining, and you can choose how much you’d like to participate. While our conversations may explore adult themes, the exercises themselves are non-explicit.
Do I have to do every exercise?
Nope, though I hope you’ll dive in! Participation is where the fun and discovery happen. And your yes always includes your no: you can pause, step out, or move at your own pace anytime. Practicing that choice is part of playing with power.
What if I can’t attend live?
We’ve got you covered! Replays of all three sessions will be available to registered participants for a limited time. We highly encourage joining live for the full interactive experience.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Three evenings of exploration, conversation, and play, completely free.
