Master/slave Dynamics - Saturday

The Role 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.

Lunch will be catered on Saturday by The Honeybaked Ham.
