"The biggest takeaway for me from ForteFemme was something crucial to my healing, self-esteem, and partnership. I realized ForteFemme wasn’t about cosplaying a domme that wasn’t inside of me, it was about getting to the core of my being" -- Zoe Ligon, owner of Spectrum Boutique, from How to Be More Dominant During Sex
“Do you think Queen Elizabeth orders her own dinner?” -- Midori, from “True Story: I Attended A Luxury BDSM Weekend" by Rachel White

Here's what the graduates have to say...
"The ForteFemme weekend was awesome. I got everything I wanted to get out of the weekend and more."
"ForteFemme was a deeply transformative weekend. Using our 'hearts, heads, then hands', the activities of the weekend were consistently engaging and exciting."
"Thank you one thousand times over for this weekend. I signed up wanting to stretch myself as a dominant, but I had no idea just how far the weekend's activities would take me. Through your intensive, I found my strong, powerful, and very feminine dominant voice. I was hoping to learn skills to fake confidence, but instead, you taught me how to tap into my natural confidence. I went from stressing about "what do I do next" to taking control and confidently moving the scene however *I* wanted it to go. I am thrilled to be able to bring that energy to my relationship and excited to test it out!"

ABOUT MIDORI //
Midori is a renowned educator and writer on sexuality. Dubbed “the super nova of kink” by Dan Savage, she emerged from the Sex Positive Movement in San Francisco in the early 1990’s, soon becoming a much sought after international presenter on sexuality, personal fulfillment, and kinky adventures.
Her reputation as an authority and leading expert on alternative pleasures stem not only from her unique and entertaining process of teaching concrete skills, but in her ability to deconstruct and distill complex matters of desire into surprisingly accessible lessons with eloquence and humanity. She’s known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights. She calls this her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.
Her writing is extensive, ranging from numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, to instructional books. She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han's Daughter.
She leads transformative small group intensives, including Rope Dojo® and ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive. When she's not traveling and teaching, she's creating provocative and haunting art and performances.
Midori believes in a compassionate approach to education focusing on "Head-Heart-&-Hands", to go beyond a mere focus on technique or formulaic scripts.
