Delving Into Power
Delving Into Power: D/s Intensive Weekend Experience with Lee Harrington
Ritual & Protocol
Desire & Connection
Body & Spirit
Personal Challenges & Experience
This three day intensive will journey through our personal experiences and desires for connected, intentional dominance and submission, as well as our further explorations as erotic adventurers and integrated individuals. We will begin by looking at what the rituals can mean within Dominance and submission, and setting the intentions for our weekend together. In the morning we will take personal inventory of what we have, what we long for, and what our inner wisdom holds, before turning our eye to what we want our systems for connection and communication hold. After that, we will tap into the possibilities of making D/s a spiritual and connectivity tool, not just a way to have a good time (though we like a good time, too). Finally we will split into peer discussion groups to explore our personal challenges and desires in D/s, our experiences and hopes, before coming back together to look at our perfect pictures again and work towards making them manifest.
Though the descriptions below examine what we will be looking into, the weekend is one unit whose finest details will be set between the presenter and attendees in this intensive. Adventurers in this intensive will be having a weekend experience, diving in together but coming up with tools for their own route through the maze of desire and passion. Come curious and hungry for ideas and information, and ready to open up and share your own longings and stories.

What have attendees thought of Delving Into Power?
I am so grateful for the weekend . . . it was the icing on the cake . . . things I have been working on, thinking about, dealing with, all seemed to just come together at the weekend. While I still have much work to do to get where I want to be, I am excited about the possibilities and my future (and a bit scared, scared is a good thing too). -Tricia
Who is Lee Harrington anyway?
Lee Harrington is an eclectic artist, spiritual and erotic educator, gender radical and published author and editor on human sexuality and spiritual experience- including “Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond,” “Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macramé” and the “Toybag Guide to Age Play”. He has also worked as an anthology editor on such projects as “Rope, Bondage, and Power.” Well known for his fun and informative approach to education, he approaches sexuality as yet another art to master, or simply an art to enjoy to its fullest! He has been an active part of the international kink and sex positive communities for over 14 years, and his stories make people laugh while showing you that eroticism can be as serious, sexy, or silly as you make it. Lee’s writings and photography have appeared in numerous anthologies including “Dark Moon Rising: Pagan BDSM and the Ordeal Path” (also under his previous pen name, Bridgett Harrington), and his image has been seen everywhere from PlayBoy TV to the pages of Skin Two Magazine.

Please also feel free to wander around my website, read my interviews and essays, browse through my books, look into the work I do as a shaman, or listen to my audio lectures!
Where can I find the complete class descriptions?
Feel free to look through some of Lee’s other class descriptions to get an idea of some of what he offers in his regular classes, as some of the weekend draws from that work… and yet Delving Into Power is its own unique experience.
