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.
 
July's event features diem, a Seattle based DJ, who is known for dancing behind the decks and joining the crowd mid-set. diem resides in the PNW, having called Seattle home since 2001. He has performed in clubs and at festivals across the US, Canada, Hawaii, and Mexico. He defines his sound as “hardtribaldisco”, which is a blend of tribal Latin rhythms, hard funk, house beats, and breaks, to become the layered evil disco that gets everyone’s booty moving. 
 Enjoy the music, dance, and meet and talk with July's featured artist, Miguel Eduardo of Seeking Soma Arts.

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.

Come join us for our quarterly impact play educational and social group for men.  This is what it's going to look like:

• Upstairs will be an “Introduction to Impact Play” workshop which will be a survey of anatomy, safety, negotiation, and types of skills covered in the broad spectrum all collected under the umbrella term “impact play”
• Downstairs there will be a presentation of a more advanced skill. We’ll go ahead and program what those skills will be for 2025 in advance of the year. Thoughts might be spanking, flogging, single tail, caning… They may take the whole two hours provided for this event - particularly if time will be set aside for folks to actually practice the skills learned in this presentation.
• Open skillshare will also happen downstairs simultaneously with the advanced skills presentation. This is an opportunity for folks of all skill levels to mingle, talk about impact play, troubleshoot impact play, and practice impact play in a collaborative environment where observers will be able to ask questions of participants.

Our team of facilitators are MitchSeattle, Daddy Tony, and Bearspanks. This is a free event, but donations are very welcome.

Gallery Erato (Seattle)

Free (Donations Appreciated) 

Informal practice session for hypnotists and subjects in a safe, friendly, peer group setting. Among other things, we might be doing “drills” on pacing/leading, opening yes sets, opening compliance sets, inductions, speaking in uptime, improving our facility for observing our partners, improving subject skills, state play,  deepeners, fractionation, and anything else that seems important. 

This is a monthly event that happens the second Monday of each month.

Hosted by  VisibleRestraint.com

Our fabulous rope practice and discussion group for men and folks who have lived experience as men continues its wonderful run at Gallery Erato in Seattle, facilitated in the loosest way possible by @visiblerestraint. For those newcomers who don’t have rope experience, Visible Restraint offers a casual introductory rope bondage workshop as one possible track for the evening. The other track for each evening is an informal rope bondage skillshare and practice time.
Neither exactly a workshop nor exactly a play party, but learning does happen, play does happen – and nudity is perfectly fine. Bring rope and your enthusiasm.

Money donations are requested and go to the Pan Eros Foundation – the educational and cultural non-profit that produces events such as Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Donations can be made here: https://fspc-357728.square.site/. No registration is needed for this event but no late entries are allowed. Doors will be locked at 7:30pm. 18+ with ID. Attendance is limited to 60 people.

Master the Art of Quiet Rope: A Unique Skillshare Experience

Step into a world where skill meets serenity. Join us for a skillshare focused on the mesmerizing art of rope bondage in an intentionally quiet space.

Skillsharing Moments: Share your rope tips, tricks, and experiences in a supportive environment.
Quiet Bondage Challenges: Test your skills and creativity with fun, silent bondage challenges designed to inspire and entertain.

Quieter voices: We recommend you default to speaking only as loudly as needed, hushed voices are great!
