La Domaine Esemar, World's oldest BDSM Training Chateau, USA
I am delighted to report that the world's oldest BDSM training chateau, La Domaine Esemar, has sought permission to use 'The History & Arts of the Dominatrix' as part of their curriculum for training Mistresses.
La Domaine Esemar was established nearly two decades ago, in 1993, by Master R. It has a reputation as one of the premier training establishments in the world. La Domaine Esemar is located around three hours drive from New York, and under an hour from Albany, in the foothills of the Berkshires. It takes 'MITs' (Masters-In-Training / Mistresses-In-Training) lengthy training - typically of a year or longer - to develop the arts of BDSM and hone their skills.
Of late years, Master R has been joined at La Domaine Esemar by a talented Mistress known as 'Miss Couple'. Her name reflects her identity as a 'walking dichotomy'.

Miss Couple has a degree in psychology and choreography, reflecting her many talents, and began her training at La Domaine Esemar in 2010. Her own journey took her from exploring submission to eventually qualifying as a professional trained Mistress. Now as Head Mistress of La Domaine Esemar, she passes on the batten of wisdom to others on their own journey, from a full 360 degree knowledge (having herself experienced the full circle of submission and domination).
Miss Couple has organized for the first time in 2015 to have a 'Weekend Intensive' of Mistress training, for those who wanting to expand their knowledge base of BDSM and learn Dominant skills. It will be run on January 23rd - January 25th, 2015 at La Domaine Esemar's training chateau.
'The History & Arts of the Dominatrix' books are being couriered over by DHL to La Domaine Esemar, forming part of the curriculum taught there for the course. Miss Couple shares my belief that getting to know the history of the Dominatrix helps understand the Dominatrix's role and her 'arts'. Indeed the 'Seven Realm Arts' section of my book will also form part of the framework for the training itself.
I plan to get over to La Domaine Esemar myself sometime in 2015, to see Miss Couple & Master R. In the meantime I send all my best wishes to them and the new Mistresses-in-training.
