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. For June, instead of a discussion, we will be hosting Todo Es for live music! The influences of Todo Es range from the Latin Jazz of Cal Tjader and Charlie Byrd to Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova, interpreted through our unique instrumentation: Rebecca Garcia - vocals; Daniel Miller - guitar; Stephen Yamada-Heidner - vibraphone and steel drum; Dan Hensley - trumpet and flugelhorn; Tor Dietrichson - percussion; Tim Miller - drums, and John Lilley - acoustic and electric bass. A large repertoire of original material combines Afro-Cuban, Caribbean and Brazilian sounds with contemporary improvisation. You can learn more about Todo Es at their website: https://www.todoesjazz.com/ 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.

Level: All levels Class style: Lecture, demo, and hands-on Japanese rope bondage (Kinbaku or Shibari) has become very popular, and its popularity keeps growing. However, it can be a little intimidating and frustrating to start because of how intricate and involved most ties are. If you’ve been trying to learn Kinbaku and you’ve been struggling with the challenge of memorizing the steps of various ties, this workshop is for you. You will learn how to improvise as you go along and tie your partner without needing to remember steps. If you've already been practicing Kinbaku, this workshop will introduce you to a whole new approach of free-form tying that will make every play session unique. This workshop will help you cultivate connection with your rope partner and create beautiful and hot rope experiences without having to memorize complex ties. We will focus on creating intimacy between tying partners, and the importance of enjoying the tying process, and not just focusing on reaching the end product. We will also discuss how rope and strawberries are related! The techniques taught in this workshop will greatly help you as you continue to learn more about Kinbaku. These techniques include: Rope bottoming skills Rope handling Understanding and achieving flow while tying Tying with focus on your play partner Ichinawa (AKA ippon nawa) translates to “one rope”. It is a technique that focuses on the tying instead of the end result of a particular tie. The workshop will also cover Aisatsu Shibari as an application of these techniques. Prerequisites: Note: These building blocks will be covered during the workshop. However, previous familiarity with them will increase the benefit from the workshop. To get the most out of this workshop, a person who will be tying should to be familiar with the following building blocks: Single-column tie Joining 2 ropes Half hitch Munter hitch (nodome) Creating an inline cuff (e.g., a hojo cuff) What to bring: 3 pieces of 7-8 metre 5-6mm rope. Natural fibre rope, especially jute, is highly recommended A small blanket for warmth (recommended). Other important info: Pay-what-you-can scholarships are available for all Pan Eros Foundation workshops. If you need financial assistance, please email Leah at education@pan-eros.org No late entry will be allowed due to the intimate nature of this workshop. Doors will be locked at 10 minutes after the start time. Water available. Please bring your own cup or bottle. Open to all 18+ Attendance is limited to 8 tying pairs.

Rope can be the perfect tool for intensity, suffering and sadomasochism. This hands-on class will prove that a little bit of rope can get a huge reaction, even without suspension or uplines. We will learn ties on the toes, calves, crotch, and torso, then learn to combine them to create a full scene or predicament. None of the ties in this class are complex, but tops will need a single column tie, tight tension and good rope handling to achieve the proper effect. Bottoms need experience with pain processing and communicating while in pain. Important Information: Pay-what-you-can scholarships are available for all Pan Eros Foundation workshops.

Interested in adding some bondage to your life but not sure where to start? This fun and accessible introductory class will introduce you to the basics of kink and rope bondage. By the time you’re done you’ll have all the skills you need to safely and confidently start exploring bondage on your own. This is a bondage class rather than a knots class, so our focus is on teaching a small number of versatile techniques that you can use in all kinds of ways. All the ties in the class are easy to learn and can be used for many different play styles. The point of bondage is to connect with your partner, so we’ll also cover fundamental kink concepts like consent, safewords, negotiation, and aftercare. To help you put it all together, we’ll have fun demos of the techniques in action, along with suggestions for how to figure out what kind of kink works best for you. Single students are welcome, but this class is most fun if you take it with a partner. We’ll provide practice rope if you don’t have your own. The 38 page color handout includes all the class material as well as additional ties to practice at home. COVID Protocols: We will announce the masking policy four weeks before the class.

About your painting instructor: Black Omi Art Co. Genea Morrow is a self-taught artist and creative entrepreneur residing in Seattle. Her interest in art began in 2012 but veered in the direction of modeling and photography; it came full circle in a figure drawing class in 2017. She then took the time to fall in love with creating shapes out of shadow work using charcoal as her medium. It wasn’t until 2021 that she started to play in paint. Genea began a fulfilling career co-owning a children’s educational toy store, J.I.L.L.’s Toyshop, and launching Black Omi Art Co. Though her journey wasn’t always easy, she often opens up about her struggles with imposter syndrome and how she continuously works on her insecurities surrounding her late start to paint. She now creates paintings that tell her story, a story heavily influenced by her history with religion and spirituality, overshadowed by her exploration of her sensuality. Her work is centered around creating the feeling of familiarity, power, and freedom. To highlight the internal battles of feminine and masculine energies women may feel.

Beginning January 23rd, 2022 the group organizer, Thrice, will be running a monthly meetup where we discuss and shoot nude, erotic, and boudoir photos, share knowledge and inspiration, and network with others in our creative communities. First hour free 5-6pm $10 per person 6-830pm What to Expect After an initial hour of mingling and conspiring, all the fun and excitement of creation starts when we close the doors at 6pm. Come introduce yourself, mingle and meet, then we will collect the event fee and shooting can begin. At this point, no more attendees will be admitted so no new faces surprise you while you’re shooting. Some gear will be available to rent or borrow, we will go through the available supplies at the start of the event. Open Shoot Format Throughout the event, photographers, assistants, and models will use the large, versatile shooting space to collaborate, have fun, and make art. Come with an idea in mind and a photographer in tow or meet someone here and come up with a spontaneous shoot inspired by the surroundings and your model’s style. Bring all your own gear, ready to shoot, and explore the space to find the perfect spot. Take advantage of any down time to connect with your fellow creatives, find inspiration, share your knowledge and experience. Consent + Consideration Make sure that you have the consent of all bodies in your frame before you shoot. Watch your backgrounds and try not to walk through active shooting space you’re not participating in as a courtesy to all. Lingerie, suggested nudity, and nonsexual nudity are welcome throughout the space. We ask that explicit or overtly sexual acts (use your judgement, ask if you’re not sure) be shot downstairs. We will continually evaluate the ways we use the space and adjust for the comfort and needs of our community to best facilitate free creation.

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. This event is presented by the Pan Eros Foundation.
