Ms/Rev Pat loves life and lives it passionately: from her ministry (she's an ordained minister in MCC) to her relationships. Entering "the scene" thirteen years ago, Pat has traveled many roads on her leather journey. A Ma’am for many years, she first bottomed to a Mistress years ago, however she likes to say now that she is a "bottom to God." What is most important to her are the basics she has learned in years of training:
• The ethics of honor
• Integrity
• Dedication
• ...and not forgetting to have fun!

These basics have helped to enrich all aspects of her life...her leather walk, her spirituality, and her social justice passions.

Recipient of Pantheon's Readers' Choice Award, the Unsung Hero Award from Jill Carter, IMsL '96, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Diversity Award, she believes that discussing the uncomfortable sheds light, builds bridges, dispels myths and allows for unhealthy behavior to end.

For several years, she has presented around the country on topics that range from Spirituality & SM; SM-The Basics; Domestic Violence and SM: What's the Difference; Single Tails; and Ma'am/slave relationships. She recently relocated to Southern CA from the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico) with her wife, lover, friend, and slave, stephanie. They have a 24/7 balanced relationship that intertwines their Ma'am/slave relationship within their daily lives.

2006 Presentation:
A Tribal Fire Signature Event
This year at our Soul Dance we will celebrate the power of our sensuality, sexuality, and dance from the depths of our beings! What a way to begin the weekend! Drawing from the spirit of Beltane...we will allow ourselves to bring forth all that we are willing to "give birth" to this weekend and in the near future. This weekend is about Saints & Sinners, and it's also about our spirituality, our sexuality and the power within.
The Dance reminds us that our bodies are sacred, as are our souls. We shall have an opportunity to use of all of ourselves to travel inward and journey outwards, reconnecting with our selves and our community through our energy and our hearts.
The Tribal Soul Dance is an experience supported by spiritual guides, music and our bodies to take you on a journey to help cleanse and heal your soul. It will be an uplifting experience that can help you discover more of the driving spirit within you. Take yourself to a space where you can release your mind's control over your body and soul.
Limited Admittance. You must make a reservation for this special event. Your reservation will be secured based on when your registration fee is received.
Saturday, May 6, 9:30am till lunch. Wear very comfortable clothing that you can move in (in other words, leather wear isn't necessarily recommended). You will be bare foot. Men may want to remove their shirts, women may wish to wear sports bras (or make sure that the appropriate areas of your breasts are covered). We will be using sage lightly, however, no cologne, please.

2005 Presentations:
Spirituality and SM -
SM & Spirituality: Bound in our Hearts - Kinky folk are some of the most spiritual people around--delving into the depths of trust, vulnerability and openness of themselves and their partners. No longer considered mutually exclusive, SM & Spirituality are now often being explored together in our community. In our time together, we will explore the connections of these two aspects of life, giving voice to what many of us already know in our hearts. We will also have some hands-on experience of the journey.

Beyond Boundaries and Limits~ The Mindfucking "playground".
Years ago the term "Edgeplayer" was given to those select few folks who did not care what other players felt about them. In many instances, the general population labeled them "unsafe". What most of the general population was unaware of was that the Gay male leather community was exploring mind-fields far before they had an actual "title". Today the title of Edgeplayer/Mindfucker are thrown around with little concern as to how others feel because today's trend has grown into most players claiming to be in this category. I suppose it's sexy and thrilling to say one is an Edgeplayer. Many years ago, I knew it was what I wanted to grow up to be~ Just like those very few people who truly scared the general kink public and more importantly, they scared the hell out of me. I wanted to be Sexy, different and take my play to the ultimate level, close to where both physical and emotional danger lie. I knew it would be the only place that would satisfy this deep thing inside me, only then would I be free. Interested, come explore with the class. There is no "true way" to teach someone where their boundaries lie, but I'm sure I can give you some GREAT pointers!
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR THE NOVICE OR SENSTIVE OF HEART. IF YOU FEEL YOU MAY HAVE TRIGGERS, THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER AMAZING CLASSES BEING OFFERED. JUDGE NOT UNTIL YOU ARE WILLING TO JUDGE YOURSELF.
