If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for

Serve (2): to be of use in achieving or satisfying Submission (1) : the
action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the
will or authority of another</p><p style="text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-variant:normal;text-align:left;font-style:normal;display:block;font-weight:normal;padding:0px;line-height:19px;text-transform:none;font-size:13px;white-space:normal;margin:1em 0px;font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;word-spacing:0px">
While many of us yearn to be of use in achieving a goal for, or in
satisfying another, common issues like ego, pride, and self-desire can
often prove as profound barriers to deep submission. Conversely, these
same matters–ego, pride, and self-desire– can provide an incredibly
solid foundation for graceful service (and training gracefully!) when
wielded affectively. This workshop will explore the deeper calling to
serve, as well as some of the very real barriers that get in the way–and
how we might be our best, most graceful selves in those moments of
service that are most challenging. As with most matters in Dominance and
submission, service is both a matter of heart and mind, and a subject
quite close to the hearts of Mister Goldberg and girl kim, who are
pleased to be able to offer these magnified discussions regarding
submission and service for The Exiles. This workshop will include
learned lessons from both Dominant and submissive perspectives, plus
scenarios, discussion time, and Q+A.</p>

<br>Mister Goldberg is a gentleman and a scholar who has been involved
in leather ever since wandering in to IML fifteen years ago. A believer
in intent, effort, integrity, thoughtfulness, and care, Mister Goldberg
highly values critical thought, attention to detail, and excellent
manners. Dominant and traditional both, she enjoys dinner on the table
by Seven, the paper with coffee on weekends, and being in a tight-knit
leather family with Madame Rebecca. A Daddy in all matters of the heart
and a Sir in less intimate affairs, Mister Goldberg likes nothing more
than exposed soft underbelly, and nurturing with a firm but loving hand.</p>

girl kim has been active for over 15 years in the BDSM community, and
she identifies as a Queer Femme Switch. kim started learning from a
Dominant mentor, but then discovered she has a submissive side and spent
two years training with a Major Doma learning the traditions and
lessons of being a submissive from a more old guard perspective. It is
from these lessons that she has grown as a submissive and leather woman.
Currently, she is in service to Master Scott aka Scotty and Dominant to
laurie. Some of her accomplishments and past experiences include, but
are not limited to the following: SF leather dyke grrl 2002, member of
Mama’s family since 2002, member of the Exiles, and over 7 years as an
