Creating, implementing, and enforcing protocol in O/p and D/s dynamics can be so challenging and frustrating — but it can be easier. Come learn about the Protocol Game and create, implement, and enforce 52 protocols in the next year. In this workshop, you’ll learn: how to create a “training wheel” of categories that will drive your protocol, how to implement new protocol so it actually sticks, and how to enforce new protocol with the minimum of effort. And you’ll walk away with all the tools to create your own Protocol Game.

Erotic hypnosis is a marvelous engine for intimacy and erotic imagineering. Hypnotic trance state is a delicious altered state all by itself, but when we stir in suggestion and storytelling we uncover an internal universe that seems limitless. This class will serve as a guide through the first steps in your erotic hypnosis journey and will cover the myriad consent issues, safety, hypnotic induction and will begin to cover applications of hypnosis to our erotic lives.  

Daniel and Ben have crafted this class to be a blend of theory and practice. There will be a small bit of group work (so come prepared to take a little trip into a trance-y headspace), but mostly the practical exercises will be paired.  Optimally, you'll bring a partner to this event.  If not, we will do our best to make sure everybody is paired with someone.

Daniel McGlothlen is the queer/gender queer proprietor of visiblerestraint.com (NSFW), a kinky, queer porn site that's been around for a couple of decades. They are a kink performer, educator and enthusiast.  They have been facilitating Pan Eros Foundation's Hypnokink Enthusiasts Group (HEG) for about a year now.  They have also taught hypnosis for Seattle Leather Service Corps., Hypnocon and Rope Burn.  They are working toward creating a 501(c)7 non-profit social club called Trance Pacific, which will be a queer erotic hypnosis group intended to give queer folks in the Pacific Northwest a safe, sexy space for their erotic hypnosis adventures - and, very importantly, to bring erotic hypnosis to underserved communities. Trance Pacific is currently seeking members for its board of directors.  Daniel is also pursuing a bachelor's degree in Psychology, with an emphasis on Sexuality and Gender Studies.  Daniel lives in Tacoma with their husband Craig - and is partnered to Ben, also of Tacoma, who contributes considerably to this class.

Other artists from this show will be on hand to chat about their work in the current exhibit, Seduction: Bloodbound.
 
The Pan Eros Foundation is pleased to create space for people to meet, talk, and share conversation and ideas. Each month, Pan Eros will host a discussion at Gallery Erato with a different topic to encourage the sharing of ideas and to create and expand communities. Pan Eros means “all love” and we support participants in cultivating and celebrating their sexuality. To support this mission, our monthly discussion topics will range among the educational and artistic realms.

Our goal in hosting these meetings is to grow a community that has rich conversations about sexuality. By fostering open discussions, we hope to end the stigma around sex and sexuality so that people may live more authentically and happily.

All sexes, genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, and religions are welcome and celebrated. Kindness and a willingness to respect another point of view are expected.
