Jails, Boot Camp, Vampires? When we explore our inner darkness in S/M we can reclaim forbidden feelings, live out all of our personae, explore archetypal roles, and use the boundaries of the S/M scene to safely experience aspects of ourselves that don’t fit in everyday reality. Learn how to set up a scene for journeying in tender places, how to discover and deal with emotional limits and safety, and how to get real juicy with all that dark stuff. We will discuss how S/M works for personal growth and discovery, how to create scenes for deep personal exploration, and then we will enter into a journey by visualization to meet one of our selves from the Dark Side.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Please wear loose clothing and bring a pillow or mat to sit on – there will be chairs for those who can’t work on the floor.
