Partial proceeds to benefit Ms. Olympus Leather 2003's platform: "Preserving the Past, Preparing for the Future", specifically benefiting The Leather Archives and Museum www.leatherarchives.org A brief description of the workshops are as follows: Service Headspace: As you travel on your service journey, have you ever wondered how to serve properly, to submit without "losing yourself"? Worried about becoming an automaton or doormat because you choose to obey? Is it possible to speak "from the bottom" in a way that allows you to be open and honest, while maintaining form and presence? Service, regardless of your dedication, can be a difficult path. Head off those difficulties. Learn to act rather than react. This interactive workshop is designed to help you reword your internal thinking and promote a positive attitude toward your service. Questions are strongly encouraged and will be discussed in a non-judgmental forum. If you are not comfortable asking in a group setting, please feel free to write down your question/situation and present it beforehand. Kicking/Trampling: Discover the intricate power dynamic and exquisite sensations that can be caused with the feet and shoes. Find out what it's like to feel a boot placed into a rib in a manner that will definitely get the bottom's attention but never risk his/her safety. Kicking and Trampling can run the gamut from intense play to a sensual interaction between top and bottom. It can also lead you into the arenas of humiliation or objectification. Bring your favorite shoes or boots and your favorite bottom, if you like, to learn about different techniques involving the entire body.
