Max will be teaching two workshops at "Paradise 2011", the Center for Sex Positive Culture's annual outdoor, cross-community sex-positive event.
Poly Models and Techniques
Wednesday August 10th, 2011
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
at Paradise 2011 in Redmond, Washington
Max has been practicing polyamory for nearly fifteen years.
That's enough time to make a lot of mistakes - and to find a bunch of tools that seem to work.
This workshop starts with definitions and conceptual models, and then dives deeply into Max's poly toolbox and his wealth of personal anecdotes.
Since Max's relationships all contain a d/s dynamic, this discussion is especially applicable to folks who mix poly and power.
Come join us - we'll send you away with a handout, some new ideas, and a few tools for your own relationships.
This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
Ad Hoc Bondage – Making Do Without the Rope Bag
Saturday August 13th, 2011
10:00 am - 11:30 am
at Paradise 2011 in Redmond, Washington
Sometimes the need to restrain someone sneaks up on you.
It might be in the car. Or at a movie. Or when you're out of town visiting relatives. Or on a hiking trail at Paradise.
These can all be opportunities for fun and creativity.
Join Max for an action-packed exploration of lightly-planned bondage technique.
This workshop is part demo and part hands-on, so a practice partner and some potential bondage materials will be useful. Not sure what materials have "potential"? Show up and find out!
If you don't have a partner or gear, don't worry - we'll make sure you get a chance to practice if you want to.
As usual, there'll be a handout to help you remember what was covered and to provide additional references.
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
