Upcoming Workshops

Friday, February 03 - Sunday, February 05
08:00am - 08:00pm

Max will be teaching two workshops at Westward Bound 2012, Metro Vancouver Kink's annual BDSM and kink conference.

Topping to the Next Level - How to Push 

Tying the Tresses – Making Hair Bondage Work

Sunday, February 05
02:30pm - 05:30pm

Suspension is perhaps the ultimate bondage – exhilarating, dramatic, demanding, and dangerous.

This workshop covers "almost" suspension, where the person being tied stays on the floor but with a vertical line taking some of their weight.

You'll learn basic vertical-line techniques and will acquire some of the fundamental skills required for suspension bondage.

Saturday, February 11
01:00pm - 04:00pm

In late 2007 Max and Russell were discussing what it takes to produce a good scene. The notes from that discussion grew into the widely acclaimed "Topping to the Next Level" series, presented in 2008 and 2010.

Part 2 will make your negotiation hot, seductive and wickedly effective.

Saturday, March 03
12:00pm - 02:00pm

This class provides a variety of tools rope bottoms can use to keep problems from escalating. These problems can be caused by the top or bottom’s inattention, bad judgment, or poor technique.

Problems like dizziness, nausea, over-sweating, pain, numbness, and panic attacks will be discussed in relation to the ideas used in The Method.

Saturday, March 03
03:00pm - 05:00pm

"Pain" is a small word used to describe a large swath of sensation experience. In this class, Mark Yu will offer a model for understanding this complex and lovely issue.

Mark will demonstrate types of pain, how and why they are experienced, and how best to give and control them. Mark will also cover ways for the "experiencer" of the pain to change, move, and control the nature of it.

If your play involves giving or receiving pain, this workshop is for you.

Sunday, March 04
02:30pm - 05:30pm

Though we use the misleading term "partial" to describe suspensions where parts of the bottom's body are still touching the ground, there is nothing incomplete or missing in these techniques. In fact, the forces are increased and the angles in which they can be applied are multiplied in so-called "partial suspensions."

Come see how completely satisfying "partial" can be!

Saturday, March 10
01:00pm - 04:00pm

In late 2007 Max and Russell were discussing what it takes to produce a good scene. The notes from that discussion grew into the widely acclaimed "Topping to the Next Level" series, presented in 2008 and 2010.

Part 3 helps you push your bottom - and yourself - safely, ethically, and effectively.

Saturday, May 05
01:00pm - 04:00pm

Things can go wrong in a BDSM scene. Sometimes it's a small thing. Sometimes it's more substantial. Either way, your level of preparedness makes all the difference between a little bump and a scene-ender - or worse.

Max and Russell have plenty of practice with things going wrong. Russell has been fortunate enough to capture some of his experiences on video from his time producing TwoBigMeanies.com. The result is a powerful collection of stories and video covering problems from "you got my nose!" to an unconscious, bleeding bottom.
