Communicating Consent

by Iona

This workshop will discuss tools for seeking, offering, and withdrawing consent before, during, and after a scene in a way that is clear, sexy, and responsible without feeling like you're checking off the PC Police's To-Do List.

Also discussed: negotiation tips and tricks to encourage enthusiastic consent and how to gracefully respond to withdrawn consent.

 

Quick Release Suspension Class

by The Dark Lord

The Dark Lord was asked to teach a bondage class. He wants to do a basic quick release suspension class that would last two hours or less. It would be an intermediate class.

He will have his own hand conditioned Romanian hemp rope available for purchase at class for less than reasonable price and the cheapest on the market.

 

What Is MAsT?

by Sir Patch and slave evelyn

MAsT (Masters and slaves Together) exists as an education, support and resource group for individuals involved in, or interested in, the Master/slave lifestyle. There are local chapters in nearly all 50 states in the U.S. - including four right here in Oregon - and a growing number in other countries as well. MAsT has become a truly international movement since its inception in 1988. But what IS MAsT, really? What happens in a MAsT meeting? Is it like a munch? Is it like a class? Or is it something unique and different? How, when, where, and why did MAsT originate? How has its scope and purpose evolved since then? Most importantly, how could your participation in a local MAsT chapter enrich your personal journey? Sir Patch and His slave evelyn will share a brief history of MAsT International and their own experiences with MAsT: Eugene and other MAsT chapters, to dispel rumors and myths about MAsT as an organization and about M/s as a lifestyle, and to extend a personal invitation to the M/s Social, and to our annual Leatherwoods MAsT meeting later in the weekend.

 

Bloodplay

by Mech and Iona

 

Impact Play

by Ship Doc

The Class Will cover several types of impact play, from bare hand to implements. Ship Doc will also include some soft and sensual sensations to mix things up a bit. The class will cover safety and Mind set. Questions are welcome. This class will benefit beginners and intermediates alike. Bring along your creative toys/pevertables. This is a hands on workshop, so bring along a partner or pair up with someone you just met to make things exciting.

The following topics will be discussed:

  • Introductions and goals
  • Safe words, body language, and no hit zones
  • Hands vs. gloves and different textures to change the type of impact
  • Thud vs. sting and the different tools to adjust the flavor of the impact
  • Hard vs. soft and using soft toys to change the feeling and stimulate sensitive skin

After safety has been discussed, the workshop will be hands on for those you want it.

 

Saran Wrap Mummification

by Arghun

Mummification has been described as an inescapable hug. It CAN be a form of Edge Play, but it can also be a safe, secure FUN form of Bondage. Given appropriate stunt bottoms Arghun will demonstrate Saran Wrap mummification as well as vet wrap mummification, talk about safety concerns, and once I have a mummy will show ways to play with your mummy. I will include places to get supplies, options, and safety resources. Any member of the audience MAY get called upon to come up and assist at certain stages. (You can always pass!).

In many ways this is an idea workshop - trying to spark ideas and directions for the attendees to go in their own play.

Materials participants may want to bring:

Vet Wrap / Coban . Coflex, Pallet wrap, Saran Wrap, Electrical Tape, Athletic Tape, Duct Tape, safety scissors.

This class is returning from last year, and Arghun is hoping to make it more hands on this year.

 

Socials

 

M/s (Master/slave)

A social for anyone living the M/s lifestyle, or for anyone curious or interested to know more.

 

Late Night Cards Against Humanity

Due to its popularity last year, there will again be Cards Against Humanity every night of the event for as late as people want to stay up.
