IMHO, being a Real Dom is something a man is born with.
I will cooperate with a "Dom in training" in a public scenario (because I am an attention whore!),
but unfortunately, I have very little respect for those who have to be taught. That is in my personal life.
In KinkCulture, I will cooperate with anyone who is "Safe, Sane & Consensual".
Just my two cents.

And relatively recently, some of Princess Kali's events and appearances in the Boston area. She teaches ProDomme workshops and does one-on-one Life coaching. ALL of her books are an insightful and good read.
The Black Rose Society in DC hosts many educational and social events. Sometimes they make reference to KinkEvents around the nation...

Also, there are many Kink "conventions" held in the summer months. I see some are announcing pre-registration this year. COVID restrictions observed.
