Aghora Tantra – Mark Michaels & Patricia Johnson
"By that which one falls, by that shall one rise." Aghora means "without fear."

Practices such as piercing, meditation in cremation grounds, and imbibing of mind altering substances are traditionally practiced. Along with these traditional rituals, we will discuss ways in which the Aghoric approach can adapted and employed in modern, Western society. We will also discuss the often misunderstood fierce aspects of the deities, Kali and Shiva.

Minority Within a Minority: Being a Person of Color in the BDSM Community – Mollena Williams
While some kinksters embrace their Leather lifestyle with ease and nary a look back, others of us face difficult paths towards the leather lifestyle that are fraught with many pitfalls. One’s religious, cultural and racial heritage can add myriad layers and nuances to the process.

Playing In The Dark: Journeys Through Humiliation – Sarah Sloane
SM play is easy. You can hit, you can see the mark you left, and you have an idea of what it feels like. Humiliation? Not so easy. It’s playing in someone’s mind, digging through the things that are already in there, rummaging through the baggage, and inserting specific stimuli to create a mental and emotional challenge for the bottom that can be totally unique for both the bottom and the top. It also can challenge the top to step beyond their own boundaries of their own comfort levels, and stretches the definition of love and compassion for everyone. We will talk about what humiliation is, the wide range of humiliation scenes from loving and sweet to cruel and dehumanizing, and how to maintain your equilibrium and your relationship while still playing on the dark side of the mind.

The Ritual of Sex – Amy Jo Goddard

Sex, Kink, and Disability: How to play when you’re “broken” – Wintersong Tashlin
We can't all be perfect specimens of physical and mental health. In fact, many of us are in some way for lack of a better word, broken, whether by age, illness, or injury. This may pre-date our involvement in kink or even in sexuality at all. Or it could be a recent development. This can take many different forms and can affect our lives, and yes our sex lives in a wide variety of ways. Wintersong draws on his training as an adaptive equipment designer, as well as his experience in the scene as someone with multiple disabilities to discuss issues such as: how does one explore safe play within the limitations in posed by our disability, how do we find satisfying substitutions for favored activities that may now have become off limits, how can non-mobility based disabilities still affect us (and what can we do about it), and how do we talk to a play partner about our physical or emotional boundaries without freaking them out.

Tantric Sexual Ritual – Barbara Carrellas, Mark Michaels, & Patricia Johnson
Tantric Sexual ritual is a physical re-enactment of Tantric metaphysics – the view that the universe itself (which is comprised of five elements) is a concrete manifestation of the ongoing sexual union between Shiva and Shakti. It is also an enactment of a process that is taking place internally, the union of the male and female elements that exist within each and every one of us. By bringing awareness to these processes, the very things that make life possible, by removing them from the realm of the reflexive and mechanical, we can transform acts that are perceived as ordinary into acts that are imbued with meaning and sacredness. In this workshop, we will examine the theory and practice of Tantric sexual ritual, also known as the Maithuna, Panchamakara. or 5-M (for the five elements) ceremony.

TranceFormation – Whittney Matlock
Trance is state of mind. Technically, it's every possible state of mind. As you read these words, your consciousness is in a state of focused attention. This is one kind of trance. Driving a car is another. Every day, you go through hundreds, maybe thousands, of trances. Each trance state is defined by what you are open to perceiving in a particular moment. In this way, your trance state defines and limits what you perceive of the world around you. What would happen if you took control of the trance through which you view the world? TranceFormation covers the basic tools and common strategies for creating and working with trance states of consciousness. A group trance session will be facilitated during the class to give everyone a starting point for future explorations. This class will also look at how SM play creates trance states. The goal of the class is to help you discover the transformational power contained within your own mind. With this skill, your own play can facilitate your personal growth and development. Where do you want to go today?
