Sir Andrew and Fyre

Sir Andrew, an Indigo Child, has always been interested in spirituality, philosophy, and the ultimate fundamental reality of life. Highly sensitive, he has participated in various lifestyles in Canada including Fetish, BDSM, Leather, and Polyamory. His journey has always been fluid and driven by curiosity, love of learning, and a desire to teach.

He first developed ‘finger floggers’ when he became interested in acquiring a wide array of floggers but didn’t have the patience to learn how to painstakingly make traditional floggers. This led to developing a Florentine Flogging style that he calls ‘Grouse Flogging’ that emphasizes sacred spiral dance and a psychic connection between top and bottom. Always a mixed metaphor, he resists labels and boxes and follows his instincts in the pursuit of meaningful experience.

Perhaps his most meaningful discovery to date has been ‘True Love.’ He met his partner, Fyre, many years ago where he began a to develop a deeply mystical relationship filled with pain, sorrow, joy and self-discovery. Ultimately it has been this ardent desire to love her that has taught him so many priceless gifts.

Fyre began her journey in the world of BDSM like so many who desire to be a submissive: full of fantasy and unfulfilled desire, images from the internet and driven by sublust! The fact that she hates to miss out on anything makes her Andrew’s constant companion, protector, servant, lover, and friend. Over the last seven years of her relationship she has held a position as his slave. Not satisfied with labels they have left this honorable title behind in order to embrace the next level of their relationship. She currently occupies a position akin to a Wolf. Wolves aren’t pets. They are individuals who have a strong pack mentality. Fyre feels that her exploration in the world of BDSM has given her the means and the tools to strip away ego and touch the Divine. Her greatest desire now is to discover the path of ‘true love’.


What Would Buddha Think? BDSM & Buddhism
Maybe BDSM is just Buddhism without the u! According to Buddha, there is value in both the dark and the light. My latest explorations into the meaning of life, how to live fully, richly, and joyfully have reaped incredible rewards and have made my relationship, my practice of BDSM, and my sexual life richer and more meaningful. In this workshop I will be sharing some of my new discoveries with you. I hope to discuss how we can deal with our anger by embracing it, how to communicate with each other using loving speech, having a reverence for our lives and the lives of those around us, and how to create new levels of self awareness that will enrich every aspect of our lives. The benefits of these simple but profound discoveries will make your scenes stronger, more focused, more flexible, filled with intention, intuition, and most importantly… filled with love.

Genitorture
There are literally thousands of ways that you can play with each others private parts. Some of them are soft and cuddly, but some of them are more aggressive or painful. Our reactions to the things we do, or are done to us are often effected by the context of our feelings about who is doing them and why they are being done. This workshop will be focusing on playing with our genitals with relation to intent, mind-frame, communication, and context. From mild erotic stimulation to more intense sensation, Genitorture is a doorway to explore our bodies as well as our decadent emotions.

Grouse Flogging
Grouse is a member of the Native Animal Totem and represents spiral movement medicine. Flogging can bring about states of trance for both the top and bottom and it can been seen as a centrifuge, pushing away the heavy things we don’t need and letting us exist the in the vacuum of possibilities and psychic awareness. Floggers are incredibly useful and flexible tools to put in your bag to use in ritual, light SM scenes, Bondage, making love, role-play, and sensual play. Using the power of the whirling dervish, Grouse flogging puts us in touch with this sacred dance.

Flogging Demo and Hands-On Workshop
Bring your floggers and let’s party! This workshop will be interactive and hands-on. Both myself and my lovely assistant will be talking to you directly and helping you find your stroke. This workshop is for everyone from the novice to the most experienced player. I’ll bring “Sammy the Scarecrow” to practice on just in case you aren’t ready for human flesh… and I’ll also be sharing my experiences/ideas with people who want to learn new techniques, new exercises, or simply new attitudes towards one of my favorite and mesmerizing activities… flogging. I’ll also be introducing you to finger-floggers. These floggers are not only cheap and easy to make, but require less effort, and are extremely fun for the Top to use.
