Join Max for a special two-day Bondage Intensive October 6th - 7th..
This event provides 13 hours of focused bondage instruction, from the basics through suspension bondage.
Most of the Intensive is hands-on, so you'll have plenty of time to apply what you learn in a safe, friendly environment. The limited class size and the presence of several skilled co-instructors ensure plenty of one-on-one instruction and foster an intimate, cooperative environment. As always, the emphasis is on learning, having fun and building confidence.
The workshop will be held at the Center for Sex Positive Culture (CSPC) in Seattle. A catered, hot lunch and an afternoon snack will be included each day, along with an extensive 60-page handout and a formal Certificate of Completion.
Attendees who aren't already CSPC members also receive a waiver of the normal membership requirement for the October 7th Bondage party and a $5-off coupon for the party.
If you have a practice partner, register them too. If you don't, that's OK - we'll form small groups and everyone will get a chance to practice.
The fee for all this is only $260 per person. Couples and groups registering together pay only $235 per person - a 10% discount.
Class size is limited, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Details on how to register are in the "Registration and Fees" section, below.
Here are some comments from graduates of prior Bondage Intensives.

Every one of your workshops has been a blast, Max – I always learn something new, both technically and mentally. Thank you for sharing your expertise and joy and love with the community!
This is the best weekend I’ve had in a very long time.
This was my second time through, and the class seemed to flow better and move forward more smoothly than I remembered. Nice work. Also - I don’t give ratings this high unless I mean it (straight 5s). I’m not just being nice.
Both the demonstrations and hands-on practice sessions were highlights for me – being able to see and then work on many of the knots and techniques.
Well-managed practice with assistant instructors – a pretty good ratio.
I am amazed by the amount of information you were able to convey so thoroughly in a relatively short time. I've learned so much.
It was awesome! You are a great teacher.
Thank-you for being who you are in this community - you provide a space where everything is OK for those of us who are new - better than OK, really. Thank-you.
I've already mentioned how good you are on the stump. You worked well with both the class as a whole and individual participants. Pacing was great. Your 'show-them', guide-them', 'let-them' approach to lecture/practice was spot on, as was your enthusiasm for bondage and teaching. Trust me when I say that you offer the best course I've seen in a very long time.
Fantastic!! This was my first hands-on experience and it's definitely a lot to process.
Thank you for all the patience and help. Also for letting us know that lots of mistakes happen. I didn’t feel inadequate hearing about that.
