Ladies and gentlemen, adult kinksters of all persuasions, lend me your ears!
T3WD (This Thing That We Do), Columbia, SC's premier BDSM education and support group, is having their 5th Annual Master/slave Retreat. This year we are expanding to 2 days as T3WD will also be celebrating our 10th Anniversary!.
T3WD's featured presenter will be famed Leather educator and author, Jack Rinella. He is the author of The Master's Manual, The Compleat Slave, Partners In Power, The Toy Bag Guide to Clips and Clamps, and his newest book Becoming a Slave. Jack is a free-lance writer, computer professional, and college instructor. A sought-after lecturer, Jack has presented across the country, including the Leather Leadership Conference, Black Rose, Bash at the Beach, The Leather Archives and Museum, Beat Me in St. Louis, Master's Retreat, TES, Headspace in Bloomington, IN, PEER in Cincinnati, and Menamore Leather/Levi Club in Wilmington, NC, South Plains LeatherFest, and many, many more. Born in upstate New York of Italian-American parents, he's been a high school and college teacher, a drug rehabilitation counselor, a cook, a computer salesman, a Catholic seminarian, a Pentecostal minister, an advertising copy writer, a graphic designer, and has done stints at printing, publishing, telemarketing, head-hunting, and computer consulting. He has been active in the Leather scene since 1983, is a founding member of MAsT-Chicago, an associate member of the Chicago Hellfire Club, and has written extensively about our lifestyle for nearly eleven years. He is a weekly columnist for Gay Chicago Magazine and his writing has also appeared in Drummer, in The (San Francisco) Sentinel, and in Philadelphia Gay News. He lives on the North side of Chicago where he passes the time writing, cruising, and falling in love whenever he can. You can contact Jack at personal email removed per Literotica TOS or visit his web site at http://www.LeatherViews.com.
Our 5th Master/slave Retreat will be the biggest and best one yet. These have always been hands on realtime relationship based with presenters like Lady Beth, Catherine Gross, Lady Kat, and Master Matthew Cary. If you are in a Master/slave relationship, if you want to learn tips and tricks to better manage your slave, or service to your Owner, this retreat is for you! Our focus is on Master/slave Dynamics. Classes will include:
The Roles of Master and slave
We'll begin by reviewing the continuum of dominance and submission and how those roles complement one another as well as have many qualities in common. We'll discuss trust, respect, empowerment, and the service one partner renders to the other.
Knowing Yourself as Prelude to Being Yourself
How do we shed years of socialization in order to become our authentic selves? How do we know what that self is? Yes we can grow and change. Here are some ways to do so.
Looking for Mr/Ms Right
Finding, negotiating, and committing are steps in the process. Here how's we can implement them in a systematic and reasonable way, while we avoid falling for Mr/Ms Right Away.
Reality D/s
Share Jack's twenty-plus years of education in D/s while you learn the reality of living a life that begins with fantasy. We'll answer questions about the reality of D/s, including contracts, schedules, obedience, limits, etc.
More information will follow!
Ten years ago, in the summer of 1999, a certain slightly insane newbie to the BDSM/Leather scene (y'all know him as Evil_Geoff, a shy, mild mannered, gentle *cough* soul) got tired of traveling all over the southeast to meet like-minded folk and learn about all this kinky stuff. He put the word out that he was starting a munch group in Columbia, South Carolina, of all places, and would anyone be interested in coming out to meet kinksters in Columbia. He set the date, August 18th, 1999 and a place - Ryan's Steakhouse on St. Andrews Road, and a time - 7:00pm. 17 kinky people showed up for that first, fateful munch.
It's been TEN freaking years, people... ten long, hard, trying, growing, learning, fun, wonderful, worthwhile years. Not many BDSM groups can boast about ten years of history. This is a time to celebrate! And I've been part of the Board for at least part of every single one of those ten years. So join us for this exciting weekend, August 1st and 2nd, 2009, in Columbia, SC! Help T3WD celebrate 10 years of education and support for the BDSM/Leather community in the Carolinas (and help Geoff celebrate his final, real RETIREMENT from the Board! *LOL*)
RSVP to T3WDevents2000@yahoo.com and tell 'em Geoff sent ya!
(Note For Moderators: this is NOT a personal email account, it is for a group to handle RSVP's for events ONLY. Please don't drop the address. I would hate to have to handle RSVP's for this event through PM's! Thanks!)
