Major
Major has been tying people up and hurting them since the late 1970s. He blended BDSM into his relationships over the years until the early 1990s, when his increased awareness of his spiritual path brought him more and more into the Leather lifestyle. His spiritual path includes studying Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age and Native American Spirituality. He is a minister in the Universal Life Church and has conducted meditations and made presentations at Black Rose, Thunder In the Mountains, South Plains Leatherfest and Southwest Leather Conference among others.He will bring a blend of Native American, New Age, Buddhist and BDSM concepts to his presentations. His discussions usually address impact play, Spiritual S/m or Master/slave dynamics. Last year he was New Mexico Mr. Leather 2004 and considers himself a Master-in-search-of-Slave.

“Sacred Spaces” Meditation
This meditation is approximately 45 minutes long and will lead participants into those “Sacred Spaces” within ourselves as well as those around us in the Universe. Bring your loved one or come alone. It will be a sacred journey that we take together and a great way to make new friends and begin a spectacular weekend! Dress comfortably and arrive early for a good seat!“Spirituality and the BDSM Lifestyle”
What Is It? How To Get It. How To Keep It. What do we mean when we speak of “Spiritual S/m”? Can we find it in the dungeon? Can we create it or is it too elusive to be “created”? Once we find it, can we hold onto it? This is for attendees who have some experience with BDSM as well as spirituality. Beginning kinksters or spiritual seekers may leave thinking they have just listened to a presentation where they only understood half of the words. They are not big words, but some understanding of BDSM will be necessary to get the connection between BDSM and having a spiritual experience. Bring you heart. Bring your passion. Find the Universe!“Setting Up and Running a Scene”
This seminar will discuss Major’s ideas of how to negotiate various types of scenes, changing style and technique according to your intentions for a scene. He will also share some of his ideas about scene assistants, safe words, safe calls, red flags, bondage, restraint, warm-up, reading the bottom, obedience, surrender, responsibility, implements and aftercare. If you are a novice, you may be overwhelmed and if you are experienced in the lifestyle, not everything will apply to you or your situation. I will guarantee everyone, however, that there will be some new ideas for each of you to use to add fresh new possibilities to your scenes.“Quan Yin” Meditation
This meditation is based on the Chinese Goddess of compassion who is very special for many in the BDSM community. She is a protector of women and children and leads us into compassion for ourselves as well as others who need it.
