Saturday August 13th, 2011 Seminars
10am – 11:30am
Piercing Play
Presented by Master Tony
The workshop will be interactive and hands on. It will demonstrate the use of needles for erotic piercing and stimulation, and will focus on technique and safety for having a healthy and enjoyable BDSM scene. We will look at a number of things including mental and physical aspects of this form of BDSM play.
The workshop will not only include the safe use of needles, but the proper disposal of needles and equipment, as well as sterility and cleanliness. Focus on safety, both physical and mental and the concerns that may occur with this very invasive and exciting play will be stressed. Sterile, single use needles will be available for those who wish to try it.
Flogging
Presented by Rebecca M & Jaqueline St-Urbain
Flogging can range from a dance of seduction to a methodical take-down. Depending on the tool and the person who wields it, it can feel like a flaying or a massage, and everything in between. This workshop will discuss some of the different types of floggers, demonstrate some basic techniques and discuss the psychology of flogging and the ways it can be incorporated into play.
11:45am – 1:15pm
One Tie To Bind Them All
Presented by Shibari Pyro
In this class we will debunk the “myth of a thousand knots” and show how a single rope tie can be used to accomplish anything from a simple cuff to a complete suspension. You will learn this single, simple knot as well as examples of creative ways to use it to quickly bind up a bottom in any number of contortions for your own devious purposes. This knot can be used with virtually any type of rope and demystifies rope bondage for the beginner as well as being an integral part of the arsenal of an experienced rope artist. This class will be hands on with a chance for participants to practice ties of their own with supplies provided.
The Disarming Power of Service
Presented by Anika Bergstrom & beth tyler
Whatever your orientation toward service and power might be, get ready to think outside the box! We will start by considering paradigms of service that arise in the world at large, where we spend most of our time. Our kink is informed by the reality that we exist as complex social creatures, thus our working definition of service will be built from the broader experiences of our humanity. With this as a departure point, we will begin to shift our dialogue from the forms service might take to the functions it can serve within power exchange. While service can happen on many levels, for the purposes of this workshop, we will be focusing mostly on relationships that are shaped by entitlement and possession (e.g. M/s, ownership, and other ongoing D/s dynamics). In particular, we will be exploring service as a vehicle for devotion, trust, attunement and responsibility – from both dominant and submissive perspectives. All levels of experience are welcome.
1:30pm-3pm
Get Zapped – E- Stim & Electrotorture
Master C & boy iain
Master Chuck, Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2011 and boy iain, Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2011 will cover the safety aspects of Sadomasochistic play with e-Stim and Electrotorture play. Equipment will be reviewed as well how to hook up a sub for electro-pleasure or pain.
Pervertables – What’s in Your Toy Bag?
Presented by KinkDan
A hands-on look at twisted uses for everything day items to add fun to our kinky escapades. Pervertables lower the risk of losing your favourite flogger when travelling. They also help create a better role-play experience; after all the Hot Cop arresting you shouldn’t whip out a set of leather restraints instead of their handcuffs…
3:15pm – 4:45pm
Giving Good Chair
Presented by International Ms Boot Black 2011 kd
You’ve attended a “Bootblacking 101” class, or two. You’ve sat down with your Daddy and learned the basics of a spit shine. You’ve interrogated your bootblack friends about what Huberd’s really is. Or maybe you haven’t done any of these things. Regardless of what you know about the process of bootblacking itself–the technicalities, if you will–this workshop won’t cover any of those things. This workshop will cover the nature of “giving good chair” in three parts: 1. The Basics, 2. Upping the Ante, 3. Fucking Without Sex. Start off by learning how to be attentive and a great conversationalist; move on to engage in sensual physical contact; and leave them wanting more with boot worship.
Sunday August 14th, 2011 Seminars
1:30pm-3pm
Mummy may I? Yes, you may!: Mummification for Beginners
Presented by Patty
A form of bondage; a way to play with sensory deprivation; a spiritual experience? The practice and art of mummification is all this and much more. Through lecture and hands-on demonstrations, this workshop will provide participants with a foundation to begin exploring mummification. Topics covered will include: physical, psychological and spiritual safety measures; basic skills for mummifying; creative considerations to pervert everyday materials; and ways to capitalize on the spiritual potential for both the Top(s) and bottom(s).
The Spiritual Side of Bootblacking
boy matt
The discussion focuses on the spiritual side of boot blacking by looking at the headspace of the bootblack before, during, and after the actual blacking. It will help beginning bootblacks to look at the possible spiritual aspects of boot blacking, as well as dominants who are receiving the bootblacking. During the workshop, I will first discuss what bootblacking spirituality is for me, how I came to realize what it was, and how I express it currently. I will then demo this aspect by doing a Sir’s boots to witness this Spirituality. Finally, if there is time, there will be a Q&A for everyone to participate in.
3:15pm – 4:45pm
Everything you wanted to know about Rubber, but were afraid to ask
Presented by Fenn
Former Mr International Rubber (2010) Fenn will help you delve into the world of rubber. He will cover play, gear, safety and accumulation and even some history. Topics will include how to size yourself for rubber; where you can find it and where you can find it cheap; liquid latex; latex maintenance, repair and CREATION. NOTE: if you have a strong allergic reaction to latex or rubber this seminar is not for you.
Hitting People with Sticks
