2007 Presentations:

The Art of the Bite - with Sparky
Odaxelagnia - The fetish of biting or being bitten. A sometimes misunderstood but widely practiced fetish. We will explore the historical evolution of biting as it has appeared in religious text, folklore and literature.

The majority of the class will be spent in a rountable demonstration format, discussing technique, practice, application and safety. There will be plenty of opportunity to learn and share your ideas about this fetish, from its simplest forms to more complex and animistic/ritualistic concepts.

With today's restrictions on travel, this is an "Unarmed" fetish play that can be applied with little or no extraneous tools or toys, making it very easy and fun to explore the more wild and animal needs of your partner(s) or playmates.

 

Tribal Soul Dance
Keeping with this year's Tribal Fire theme of Redemption, we will be taking a Journey of liberation and cleansing at the Soul Dance.

Cultures throughout history have incorporated basic elements such as water, pain, dance and creative expression in their rituals to help cleanse, redeem and free the spirit of its earthly struggles and trauma. This year we will explore a few of these practices, using a water cleansing ritual, group piercing, chanting, dancing and creative expression.

Please keep in mind that the Soul Dance incorporates various aspects of many religious beliefs in an attempt to help bridge the gaps in our BDSM/Leather communities. Come join us for an experience that will take you through a wide range of emotion, expression and understanding of what it means to accept your place in our community and express that is ways unlike you have in the past.

Many portions of the Soul Dance are completely clothing option - Nudity is encouraged, but not required. If this type of expression is not something you are comfortable with, please wear something that is loose fitting and that you won't be concerned if it becomes dirty or damaged in this experience.

The close of our Soul Dance will be the traditional Maypole dance in celebration of the spirit of Beltane. If you have any questions regarding what we will be doing at the Soul Dance, please feel free to contact the presenter at SouthCentralLeatherSIR2007@cox.net.
