Simon will explore primary issues, methods, and considerations involved in selecting a stable play partner, submissive, or slave. Other course topics will include techniques to discover your wants, needs and standards before the application process begins, reviewing petitions and what to look for (and what to watch out for), conducting "the trial," authentic evaluation, the grave importance of initial training that transcends mere positions and how you like your coffee, enhanced training concepts, and most important, the "then what?" after some form of commitment is made.

1:30 - 2:30 B Applied Rigging for Brain and Hands:  The nuts and bolts of thinking your way through rope bondage Michael Sol

Many classes teach you a form in rope or two and that is a good thing.  We are fed with new ideas and solutions to situations we will face.  However, this is a class that encourages you to think with rope, and is a “learn how to fish class”.   We will talk about feeding your mind and developing your skill set to practice rope bondage creatively and with intent.  Sol will begin with forming intent and implementation of ideas - from initial idea and problem solving, to building good rope handling skills and thinking through to improve your rope handling efficiency.  While adapting classic forms will be discussed this is more about making the rope yours.  New bondage folk can benefit from the handling skills and intermediate riggers may find this a wonderful way to move to the next level.  This is a practical rigging class so you will benefit most by bringing an open mind and some rope.    Feel free to tie each other.  No “one true ways” will be provided.

 
3:00 - 4:00 A Bringing Spirituality & Connection into Your Scene Simon Blasie
This class is an opportunity to start you on a path towards learning how to connect with yourself, what you use when playing and the human being you play with. The class includes both a discussion and an interactive workshop for those who wish to bring their favorite flogger, singletail, paddle, bare hand, etc., and the person they play with for a guided hands-on workshop that will move you away from being a mere impact player and closer to someone who creates moments the two of you will remember for a lifetime. WARNING: This is an intense class and it will change your life forever. As one previous attendee wrote "I strongly feel you should give a  warning that if  they are not ready for an intense scene in addition to seeing their relationship naked with all of its beauty and imperfections for the first time, they are in the wrong class." Due to the high demand for this class and intimate nature of the subject matter, attendance will be limited to the first 16 attendees.
