This class is appropriate for rope practitioners of all skill levels: there are no complicated patterns or harnesses but we will explore body manipulation techniques not taught in the rope community. Tops should bring one 10-15 foot rope, one 25-30 foot rope, and be confident with a single column tie. Bottoms should have good body awareness and the flexibility to have their arms tied together behind their back.

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) Suggested donation of $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 donations, close the doors, 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. No one is required to shoot with anyone else or to shoot any content they do not wish to participate in. Pressure is unacceptable, both photographers and models are expected to take “No” as a complete sentence any time it is given. Our Hosts + Facility Gallery Erato and the Pan Eros Foundation are pleased to offer those who create art that explores themes of sexuality, gender, relationships, identity, orientation, and love a place to showcase and create their work.

What kind of leader do you want to be? When it comes to creating consent culture, what qualities does a leader need? In this workshop, you will start drafting an ethos statement to guide you as a leader. You will continually come back to this statement, especially when you need to make hard decisions or take a stand. By uncovering your values around leadership and consent, we will build a solid foundation to support you in becoming a leader who others would want to follow. Who is the Consent and Leadership Series for? Anyone in formal and informal positions of leadership who finds their work expanding to include issues around consent, such as ethics, interpersonal conflict, and harm. If you host events, teach, organize, manage, or supervise people; if you are just the one people go to when a problem around consent comes up; if you care about creating consensual spaces and have some power to influence others — then this series is for you.

Intermediate use of paired floggers with fancy patterns is sexy, and a useful tool in your metaphorical toolbox. It's challenging to learn in very different ways for different people though. Almost everyone struggles with either the flow patterns, or turning them into enjoyable impact, or a combination of both. Russell has been giving people solid flogging foundations for a couple decades, but trying without success to figure out an upward double figure-eight for about as long. Aurora has a background in flow arts, and walked him through finding that pattern within ten minutes. Lately she's been raising people's success rates by circulating during the advanced practice portions of his 'Practical Application of Floggers' class. Between her experience with communicating flow patterns, and his experience with flogging impact mechanics, we think we've got a teaching structure and useful one-on-one feedback for everybody! We will assume you can throw a flogger accurately, and that you've done at least some initial experimentation with using your off hand. The class will include teaching and practice of a number of single and double handed patterns, and how to use them within a scene. If you're interested in leveling up your existing flogging skills, come try this out! Important Information: Pay-what-you-can scholarships, funded by 4Culture, are available for all Pan Eros Foundation workshops. If you need financial assistance, please email Leah at assistdirector@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 24 people. All sexes, genders, races, ethnicities, bodies, body types, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, abilities welcome and celebrated. Please let us know by email if you have any access needs or things that would aid in your learning. Questions may be directed to: assistdirector@pan-eros.org About the Educators: Russell Harmon has been teaching popular kink-related classes since 1999, including his 'Practical Application of Floggers' which provides a foundation for this more intermediate practice. He runs LovinglyHandmadePornography.com, which is both sneakily educational and an attempt to prove that intensity and fun aren't mutually exclusive in BDSM porn. Aurora Violet is a vivacious, playful, and inquisitive switch; discovered BDSM/kink in 2008. Beginning as a bottom and taking a submissive role; she wanted to become a better suspension bottom and found the circus not long after. Using what she learned as a bottom and submissive informs her topping practice that she uses today. After specializing in aerials and rope bondage, she recognized the rarity of available venues that have tall ceilings and sturdy hard points. She chose to dabble in juggling and “flow arts” on the ground in 2017, finding more inclusiveness and friends. Hula hooping became one of Aurora’s circus specialties, later leading to fire hooping. In appreciation of overcoming fear, challenges, and supporting one another; her values include building community and finding high quality connection with others. In her opinion, BDSM is one of the most efficient ways to reach these goals. She has dabbled in many BDSM specialities throughout the years depending on who she is dating, and began teaching in 2016.
