* Bootblacking 101
Are you looking to expand your service skill set? Have you seen a bootblack at work and wondered if you could do it? Ever look at someone in their leathers and know that properly taking care of their leathers would be even more of a privilege than touching their bare skin? Brought those stunning new boots that you had to save so long for and want to know how to make them last a lifetime?
Did reading any of those questions make you hot? Have absolutely no idea what bootblacking is? Then this workshop is for you!
This workshop will introduce you to the basics of boot and leather care. We’ll discuss what bootblacking is and basic technique. We’ll also discuss care of leather items (i.e. vest, floggers), as well as how to care for latex, patent leather and vinyl. From strictly service to slightly sensual, bootblacking has got it all. Come see what it can add to your life.
* Titleholding: The Real Deal
What’s it like to be a titleholder? What are some of the reasons a person would want to hold a title? What are some of the stresses that come with titleholding? What are the rewards? This workshop will attempt to answer these questions and various other mysteries of titleholding. Even if you have no interest in being a titleholder, this is an excellent opportunity to investigate what it is all about.
* What next? Life after a collar
One of the most cherished components to our lifestyle is a collar. Its symbolism and meaning runs deep. We build lives, hopes, dreams and families of choice around the connection of the collar’s owner and its wearer. So what happens when the collar is removed or returned? In this workshop will discuss some of the emotions associated with this situation and the process of moving through and beyond this life altering experience.
More often than not we sympathize with the submissive/slave/bottom that has lost a collar in these situations. However, tops/masters/dominants have collars returned to them as well. For that reason, this workshop is not for submissives only. Dominant types are welcomed and encouraged to participate as well.
* Polyamory: What It Is/What It Isn’t
Have you ever heard the word poly or polyamory and wondered what it really means? Or why all the fuss about it? Have you thought that poly could be for you, but aren’t sure how to proceed? This workshop is a facilitated discussion to find out more about poly, ask questions and share your experiences as well. We’ll discuss some terminology, basic components to poly relationships and communication skills for a successful poly relationship.
* Bridging The Gap: Earning Our Place in the Community
Younger or older, kinky or leather, Old Guard or TNG. So often we only see the differences in our community and let those differences divide us. Let’s talk about the similarity in our differences and some of the things we can do to bridge that divide. Working together we can move our community forward in ways that will be beneficial to all of us. No matter where you choose to stand, you have something to contribute and something to learn.
