How to Use a Flogger
With: Remotor


Bring your floggers and a friend to learn some of the basics on flogging in this hands-on workshop.

Items that will be covered are:
Whether you're an old pro or 'just curious' (uh huh.. we know who you are), this workshop is sure to leave an impression. (It's also a good way to use that flogger you just made.)

As a side note, this is a good opportunity for stunt bottoms to get a whack before dinner.

Cock and Balls - They're not just for sex anymore
With: Trooper Frank


Just when you thought they were safely tucked away in your pants, gentlemen, warped minds have concocted myriad ways to "awaken" the nervous system that serves the cock and testicles. In this session, I will utilize a sub who will undergo exquisite torture as well as downright visceral and "crude" ministrations. Percussion, electrostim, sounding, heat, ice, compression, binding, nerve wheeling, and creative use of SM equipment to arouse as well as punish the subject, will be demonstrated. Every seat will be close to where the whimpering, moaning, and groaning can be heard. Attendees will get to witness me using my stun gun to get a "rise" out of my slave.


Polish and Shine
With: slave paul


Polishing and worshiping boots is an integral part of slavehood in the Old Guard way of life. But the mechanical act of bootblacking is only a tiny part of the experience. Whether you identify as Master, slave, Dom, sub, or switch, there are many reasons that you should integrate this beautiful and powerful ritual into your daily life... even if you are not currently in a relationship. Come join us for this interactive workshop and learn how to shine from within as you polish. If you have a pair of boots or shoes that will take a high-gloss shine, feel free to bring them. Other supplies you should bring if you have them include: polish (Kiwi parade gloss black preferred), an old cotton t-shirt or other lint-free cotton rag, and a polishing brush. If you do not have these supplies on hand, we will have some limited extras available.

Endorphin-Based Needle Play - 101
With: Annamarie

This workshop will focus on the s/m and sensation aspects of needle play, rather than strictly decoration. In this class we will be covering basic safety and piercing techniques, but I welcome players of all levels to attend.

This workshop will be HANDS ON! I will be providing supplies but you will need to bring a bottom if you want to practice. If you have equipment of your own, please bring it as my supplies will be limited. I will be available (along with an assistant or two) to pierce anyone wanting to experience receiving needles.

I will also be offering up a needle scene at the auction Saturday morning and will be around the entire weekend if you want to chat!


Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, or Graceful Endings
With: Lady Papillon and Mech


Whether long term or short, the end of a relationship offers many chances to make mistakes that may soon be regretted. Too often are our feelings needlessly hurt, our friendships shattered, our reputations tarnished by words and deeds fueled by emotion rather than reason. All manner of negative results can come about when we act or react with pain, anger or aggressiveness.

We speak from the real life experience of the breakup of our six-year D/s relationship. In addition we have polled folks on FetLife and have talked in person and by mail to numerous lifestyle folks about the hindsight education they received from experiencing breakups of their own relationships, as well as observing those of close friends in the vanilla, D/s M/s and BDSM community.

It does not matter which side of the / you live on, if it is your own relationship or that of close friends or just casual acquaintances in the kink community, breaking up is hard to do. Such relationship changes have long reching effects. We offer alternative ways in which to deal with your disappointments. We can teach you a list of constructive etiquette that will create less upset in your individual lives as well as the members of your community.


M/s Magic
With Master DJ and september dragon


What Makes Master/slave Relationships Magical?

You know that couple you see across the dungeon? The couple who simply glow their energy? What is it they have that you want in your own relationship? How do you get what they have? Many of us are seeking "the magic."

What is it that makes these relationships so magical? Or is it magic? Is it a recipe? Is it chemistry? Is it spirituality? What is it?

Join us to share in some ideas we've had about magic in an open discussion format.


Mind & Hands Play
With: Master Adak


This seminar will not only demonstrate that it IS possible to play with either NO toys, or, if one chooses, with only a few "pervertables", which can be found in the average home.

This seminar is recommended for not only "the newbie player", but, "the old hand", as well, as even the old hands have nearly always had commercial toys to play with, and haven"t opened their minds to the possibilities they have with just their bodies and minds.

Through the co-operation of a willing "test subject", an unbelievably wide variety of play methods and techniques will be discussed and/or demonstrated. At the end of the seminar, everyone in the audience will be fully aware that the "top" ALWAYS has virtually everything He/She needs to perform a VERY worthwhile and enjoyable play session, with a bottom of either gender. They will also realize they have always had this capability, but just haven"t thought about it enough.

If time permits, a portion of Master Adak's seminar: "The Cheap Toy Bag" may also be presented.
