book dommes
Introducing
Book Dommes isn’t just a book club—it’s an intimate, fiercely supportive container for women who are ready to peel back layers, uncover their truth, and reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve hidden, silenced, or lost touch with—parts that hold vast reservoirs of creative power, insight, and energy.
Ready for your jailbreak from Good Girl Prison?
This is your opportunity to go deeper than we can in our movement classes, break taboos, work through the stuff that binds you piece by piece, try new things on for size, and immerse yourself in the topics that have the greatest power to liberate you from your own "good girl prison".
The content we study will swing all across the spectrum:
From learning about power dynamics, boundaries, consent, and polarity energetics (for awakening, enhancing, and reclaiming your sexuality),
To Parts Work (reclaiming parts of yourself that have been dormant for too long––parts that have kept your power entangled and concealed within them),
To healing and recalibrating your nervous system to release anxiety, chronic holding and clenching in the body, and patterns of over-analyzing,
To transformative meditation and breathwork practices that will help you cultivate deep compassion for yourself, others, and the world.
This monthly subscription program begins January 19th, 2025. We have 16 seats available in total and are accepting applications now. Your first month’s tuition holds your spot. If you’re accepted, your next payment won’t run until one month after your 1st club meeting.
How it works
Expect a slow and gentle exploration of a vast spectrum of topics and teachings. As they come together over time like pieces of a beautiful mosaic, they reveal the keys to your Self-Reclamation.
The structure
Sometimes, we’ll dedicate a full three months to one book, milking every ounce of its wisdom. Other times, we’ll explore multiple works and media—poems, audios, and more—under a shared theme of Self-Reclamation.
Whatever the structure, the goal is the same: cultivating deep understanding, profound growth, and even mastery—DOMINION—over the topics we explore together, hence the name Book Dommes.
A deep and genuine bond with other big-hearted, body-positive, growth-oriented women like you who are equally committed to #safesisterhood.
A safe, reliable incubation ground to nurture you through your transition into a more whole, authentic, and fully expressed version of yourself.
A more unshakable stability of self-worth (which means less settling and no longer excluding yourself from the things in life you’d previously convinced yourself you were okay not having… like mind-blowing sex, more money, and greater power and influence).
Healthier ways to meet your own needs: Stop abandoning yourself in the unconscious but relentless pursuit of perfection, acceptance, and belonging. Instead, honor your true desires and boundaries with compassion, courage, and self-respect.
Freedom from people-pleasing: Break free from the habit of prioritizing others at your expense, and step into relationships and decisions that reflect your worth and support your Self-Reclamation.
A greater sense of agency and authority in your own life.

Here’s your quick scroll button to take you down to the FAQs and application.
Book Dommes is 100% for you if you’re calling in:
More ease in surrendering and letting go when necessary (conserving personal energy and reducing suffering, stress, and anxiety).
An expanded capacity not just for being with joy and pleasure, but all the emotions and sensations, especially those you'd previously deemed intolerable.
Easier access to your own turn-on (this is key because erotic aliveness is your fuel for creativity and manifesting the vision you’ve always held for yourself).
Less mental fog and a clearer connection to your own body-wisdom and intuition (who doesn’t want that legit, oracle-level clarity?).
More internal spaciousness: A stronger ability to keep your heart open, remain compassionate, curious, and connected to yourself and others in those challenging moments when, historically, you'd have shut down.
the details
This monthly subscription program begins January 19th, 2025. We have 16 seats available in total and are accepting applications now. Your first month’s tuition of $97 holds your spot. You will not be charged again until 30 days after your first club meeting.
Twice-Monthly Gatherings:
Two Sundays per month at 1:30 PM ET. Attend in-person in our Mount Pleasant Studio or virtually via Zoom. Each two-hour session includes grounding practices, light movement, and intimate discussions. Please wear grippy socks (we have them available in studio for $10 if needed) and stretchy, breathable clothing for comfort and ease. Layers are suggested so you can pile on or strip down as needed to find your temperature sweet spot. Be sure to bring your water bottle and journal too!
In-Person Perks:
Lounge and gently move on Sensory Mats, sip tea, breathe in the calming aromatherapy, and enjoy light snacks and soft lighting and textures in a nervous-system-soothing environment.

Dirty Vanilla Parties – The Unbound Playground:
Locals to Charleston will also have the added benefit of free entry into our semi-monthly Dirty Vanilla Parties––a dance party / workshop combo. With Eros as our muse, each DVP is its own unique adventure—blending movement, experimentation, education, and a touch of the provocative. From technical lessons to playful scenes, every gathering offers the chance to awaken your senses, indulge your curiosity, and connect with others who love mixing a little mischief with their magic.
Virtual Options:
Zoom links and recordings are provided in case you have to miss a live session, and an optional Sensory Mat set is available for purchase, making it easy to engage from anywhere.
Of course, utilize whatever resources are available to you to enhance your sensory experience at home (with essential oils, cozy lighting, comfy textures, and your favorite tea and snacks).
Book Dommes isn’t just about reading together—it’s about gaining the skills and tools to live authentically, fully, and unapologetically.
what you will gain
Your embodiment and groundedness will be palpable (you'll inhabit your body and the present moment more fully).
You’ll bring a more spacious atmosphere to all your relationships (relating with men, women, and children will become easier and more fulfilling, simply because you changed one factor––yourself).
You'll feel more equipped to hold your center and remain open in the face of challenging interactions.
You'll feel freer in your self-expression, sensuality, and play—better able to listen to your body, let her lead, and "make a mess on purpose", knowing it's MEDICINE.
You'll be more resilient and adaptable—having deepened your trust in yourself, your voice, and your ability to navigate whatever your life may bring you.
You'll notice more lightness in your heart and less chronic holding in your body as your nervous system reorganizes itself and the "issues release from your tissues".
You’ll be better able to forgive yourself and others, even those you thought you'd never be able to!
Things you'll notice more and more, the longer you engage with Book Dommes:
There will be a true sense of ownership and freedom around your body and sexuality.
And likely your biggest gain of all?
You'll realize that you now have a sisterhood you can rely on that sees, celebrates, and supports you––and you wouldn't trade it for the world!

We're a Sisterhood of soulful, body-positive women healing and liberating ourselves and each other by stripping away shame and unbinding our hearts, minds, and bodies. Creating a safe, judgment- and competition-free zone is our highest priority.
The women who gravitate here may or may not be dancers or yogis in the traditional sense, but they love to move, fully inhabit their bodies, and embrace their humanity and desire. Big-hearted and brave AF, they choose personal freedom, self-honoring, and being REAL over the relentless expectations of our noisy, hustle-driven society. What’s not to love?

Club Meetings fall on two Sundays per month (typically, but not always, the 2nd and 4th weekends) at 1:30 PM ET.

We aim to take our sweet time with these books – spending as many as 3 months with each. The amount of material we’ll be asked to read will vary from month to month depending on the length of each book, but it should never require more than 4-5 hours a week. Whenever possible, we’ll select books that are also available on audio so you can listen on the go. We’ll communicate the rough reading agenda at the start of each month and reiterate and/or adjust as we go for everyone’s comfort.

We all know that change takes time, and that what we put into any commitment and investment is what we get OUT in return. Book Dommes was intentionally designed as a transformative, immersive experience that fosters real change, lasting growth, and genuine connections within the Slow & Wild sisterhood. To achieve this, we baked in a minimum commitment of three months. This gives participants the time to engage fully and let their natural resistance to change soften as they gradually build meaningful bonds and integrate new insights.
By subscribing, you agree to a 3-month minimum commitment. Your subscription will automatically renew each month and your card will be charged on the renewal date (30 days after you first enrolled).
You may cancel your subscription anytime after 3 months of participation in Book Dommes. If you do not cancel, your membership will automatically renew each month and your card will be charged at the time of renewal.
Membership tuition is non-refundable and subscriptions are non-transferable.
We understand that life happens. You may freeze or unfreeze your membership at any time without penalty by contacting Slow & Wild via email or text.

Book Dommes is $97/month. It includes access to a private Facebook Group for sharing and support and two 2-hour in-person club meetings (they’re virtual, streaming and recorded via Zoom, if you’re not in Charleston, SC). Locals also get the added perk of free entry into our semi-monthly Dirty Vanilla Parties. See above for more detail on these exclusive eye- and body-opening events.

In Book Dommes, in terms of guided movement, we will move our bodies subtly, gently, and only very briefly. We want to keep the focus mainly on our book discussions. However, you are encouraged to move and stretch at your leisure, following your body’s natural impulses.
In the studio, we’ll all be on our Sensory Mats – luxurious 6-foot round practice mats made of faux rabbit fur. They invite you to lounge, stretch, slink, and slide around with playful and exploratory ease.
If you are joining us from home, you can set yourself up on blankets, on your bed, or better yet, snag your own Sensory Mat Set here. -
Titles will be announced at least one week before the new month begins or before we shift into a different piece of content.
-
All Book Dommes members will be added to a private Facebook Group accessible inside the Momence app. We'll communicate here regularly, both giving and receiving support and encouragement as needed.
Consider this your invitation to restore the full spectrum of your femininity and humanity…
Reconnecting to your fire and ferocity as well as your tenderness and innocence. It's time, love, to come back home to yourself, and come fully alive; to know you're capable of having your own back, always, but you won't have to. Because you’ll know we've got you, and we’ll hold you every step of the way.
Let's talk about change.
Here’s the truth:
I can’t promise you won’t change. In fact, I can almost guarantee you will. And yes, that’s scary—but it’s also what you want, isn’t it?
That push and pull you feel—the yearning to become the woman you know in your bones you’re meant to be, that sits right alongside the fear of what that growth might mean and lead to—is part of the journey. What I can promise is that you’ll never face these changes alone. You’ll be supported every step of the way, always encouraged to tend to your own timing and baby-step your way to freedom and alignment. The changes you make will be rooted in what feels true and right for you—what you feel READY and RESOURCED to do.
The Slow & Wild Approach:
Change doesn’t have to be a leap into the unknown. In fact, we discourage that approach, as one definition of trauma is "too much, too fast, too soon."
Here, we create change through a series of small, intentional steps. What unfolds is a gradual uncovering of the truest version of yourself that lets you move forward with clarity and confidence.
