Lee Harrington May-June+ Classes/Events (Ohio, MD, Maui, AZ and more)
Greetings!I am so excited by the recent adventures in my life! Toybag Guide to Ageplay is now available from Greenery Press, and I’m madly working on a new art book with Circle23 that will be coming out in the next 6 months. Add to that the exciting essays and articles I’ve been writing recently, and the events I’ve been to (BodyBound was spectacular, Beyond Leather’s rope track and my return to show directing blew me away, and the people at SinsSations Leather sure know how to host a great party), I truly am blessed. If a tad crazy busy :)As always, you can keep up on my upcoming schedule, classes, and life adventures by visiting www.PassionAndSoul.com , or skip straight to class descriptions and links at www.PassionAndSoul.com/educatorOhio SMARTFest - http://www.ohiosmart.org/ - Cleveland, Ohio (May 2-4): I will be doing a keynote speech on Harnessing Courage for Erotic Authenticity, plus teaching Inner Monsters (for Tops), Rope for Sex, and be up on the auction block for a private class. Unfortunately, the event is sold out, but you can contact them to be put on the waiting list.BESS - http://www.bess-md.org/ - Baltimore, MD (May 21): Speed Bondage! This Wednesday class will be an absolute hoot, great for beginner bondage folks who have a knack for moving bodies or rope, but better for intermediate level bondage students. $10 tickets, 7:30pm.ShibariCon – http://www.shibaricon.com – Chicago, IL (May 23-26): After missing a year, I had to come back to teach at the largest rope bondage conference in the world. I will be debuting my “Turning Ties Inward: Finding your Path and Desire in/with Rope” class, which is always an adventure to open up new journeys in education, plus will be teaching Rope for Sex, GenderQueer Bondage, and Speed Bondage at this amazing event. If you register in the next 3 days, it is only $185 for the entire weekend, or after that registration goes up to $210. Day passes are also available.BESS - http://www.bess-md.org/ - Baltimore, MD (June 4): Edge Play Panel. This Wednesday class will be an adventure for me- presenting on a panel alongside other “edge” players debating the appeals of extreme adventurous sexuality, the ethics involved, safety or the lack thereof, and more. $10 tickets, 7:30pm.PassionBound I - Maui, HI (June 7): I will be doing a 6+ hour rope bondage intensive called “Passion Bound I: Erotic Macramé and Japanese Style Rope Intensive.” This is all of my required classes in one bundle for learning suspension bondage from me (PassionBound II), but is also an amazing opportunity for those who want to learn how to explore erotic desire with rope as a tool from decoration to restraint. $95 per attendee, $175 per couple.Maui Kink - Maui, HI (June 8): I adore my Maui students, and yet again they are pushing their comfort zones, this time by encouraging me to come out and teach 2 back to back emotionally intense classes- Let’s Talk about Sex: Frank Discussions around the Realities of our Desires, and Inner Monsters (Tops). $25 each class. I will also be available in Maui for private classes.AZ-TNG - http://www.tng-az.org/ - Phoenix, AZ (June 18, 21): The Wednesday class will be Sir! Yes Sir! Where we will look at designing protocol systems, then on Saturday will be doing hands on Rope or Sex followed by a new class featuring learning new sex skills from yours truly! I will also be teaching PassionBound II for private students, and on Friday evening presenting a by-request Breath Play course- if interested contact me privately. The Wednesday course will be $10 each (but only available to individuals 18-35 and their partners), and the Saturday courses will be $30 each of $50 for both.Also coming up this summer I will be presenting at (details coming in the next newsletter):Leather Retreat - http://www.leatherretreat.com/ - Northern Maryland (June 25-30)CampOUT- http://lagarou.org/campout.htm - Long Forks, West Virginia (July 10-13)Baltimore ArtSpace Erotic Arts Festival (July 18-19)In The Woods - http://itw2005.triskeli.org/ - Bellingham, WA (July 23-28)Rosse Productions - http://www.myspace.com/themadamerosse - Eugene, OR (August 1-2)Floating World - http://www.thefloatingworld.org/ - Edison, NJ (August 15-17)Paradise Unbound - http://www.paradiseunbound.com/ - Seattle, WA (August 26-September 1)Wow- this is going to be a VERY exciting summer.
