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
