| | | | Fetish events around the world
October would be a great time to visit Australia & New Zealand.
The first weekend of the month is The Gathering in Sydney. A full weekend of workshops, parties and a fetish party involving the Sydney Hellfire crew. There's a group on Fetlife for this but no website yet.
In Melbourne mid month there's a 10 day kink fest planned with Provocation & Klub Kunst (play party and no holds barred play party respectively) and a fetish ball which tends to get around 1000 people and is along the lines of the London parties.
Third weekend of Oct over in Christchurch NZ is the Southern Exposure weekend, less fetish and more BDSM. BTW Aus & NZ parties tend to be held in clubs with a bar so even if you just want to dress up, socialize and perhaps have a glass of wine that also works.
Re the London Rubber Ball. Keep a eye out on the SK2 site.
Normally in London there's a big weekend early Oct, yet to be advertised.
On our list to get to this year is Montreal at the end of August.
Also, if you have the time and budget Kink in the Caribbean is a must do at least once.

| | | | May 1-2: Erotic Dominance Weekend Intensive for Women (SF)
(Please contact Cleo Dubois at the website below if you have any questions about this event. Thank you!)
Erotic Dominance Weekend Intensive for Women: Tops and Switches
One of my favorite things is to watch women bring out their exquisite sensuality and passion to take control over their sex lives and erotic explorations. That's why 3 times each year Eve Minax, Selina Raven and I offer the Erotic Dominance Weekend Intensive for Women. Tops and those who switch are welcome to delve deeply into their own eroticism at this May 1-2 weekend of conscious BDSM hands-on training at the SF Citadel.
Visit www.sm-arts.com/intensives/women.html to see just what each Intensive includes!
We start each weekend with a Meet & Greet at a private SOMA residence as we look at just what it means to be a Dominant. Using a wide variety of modalities, including tantra, communications, and skills, you'll build the confidence you need to make your scenes soar. Our talented and caring volunteer bottoms will give you the feedback you need to play ith power more creatively with great heat and heart. Want in? Apply at www.sm-arts.com/intensives/form-women.html
We limit the class to 9 women so that each of you gets the personal attention you deserve! Enrollment is open.
Looking forward to your participation,
In leather pride, with heart,

DESIRE LEATHER WEEKEND JUNE 11-14
DESIRE is almost sold out. This all women's weekend of education, play
and debauchery that takes place in Palm Springs CA is one you do not
want to miss.
Go to our web-site to get all of the details and get your registration

http://desireleatherwomen.com
IMPULSE LEATHER WEEKEND JUNE 18-21
Registration now open.
You have heard the stories about DESIRE. Have always wanted to attend but could not.
Now you can.
After 5 successful DESIRE events, The producers of DESIRE have created
Impulse.They will keep the dungeon up for another week and open the
doors to everyone. A truly pan-sexual weekend.
Impulse is a weekend event taking place at a beautiful resort in Palm
Springs.The private setting and wonderful weather allows for optional
clothing and unrestricted play. We transform the resort into our weekend
paradise and dungeon. Play equipment is outside under trees and tarps,
around the pool, and in intimate corners. Impulse is a player's weekend
- it is a place where you can do almost anything you want to do.
Impulse is also is an educational weekend committed to providing
outstanding learning opportunities and experiences for all – from
novices to advanced players. Impulse will gather a wonderful group of
presenters who are eager to share their expertise with you. Presenters
actively participate in all Impulse activities and are an integral part
of the weekend. There will be many workshops and presentations offered
during the weekend. One of the unique features of Impulse is that
participants have the opportunity to have a one-on-one mentoring session
with one of the presenters. Both participants and presenters enjoy these
sessions.
Impulse is a great opportunity to socialize and connect with others.
There are activities planned to bring everyone together and have fun.
The intimate environment and planned activities facilitate connections.
Even though participants can play anytime, there are 3
"official" evening play parties where everyone gathers to play.
If the mood strikes you to strike your submissive over morning coffee or
practice your flogging skills before the next workshop, feel free! If
there's an available sling, use it anytime! You can play anytime you
want to – and some of you will!
