Event
Max & Eri Present: "KinkLab"
Many of you have attended conferences where someone speaks at you for hours.
This is NOT that. Instead, we are inviting kinksters and kink-curious folks to create their own kinky unconference (a.k.a. "open space technologies") at Max's home, and led by Eri Kardos.
This will be Max and Eri's second Kinklab collaboration - the last one (on March 28th) was a tremendous success and left all of us hungry for more. Do join us!
**************************************************
* What is the Schedule for this Event?
**************************************************
At 10am we'll gather in Max's dungeon for the Opening Circle and Eri will explain the concept of Open Space Technologies / Unconferences and how the day will work.
The rest of the day - from 10:30am - 6:30pm will consist of our unconference sessions. There will be 4 breakout session areas and 7 sessions blocks - thus there will be around 28 unique sessions offered in 1 day!
We'll provide a catered lunch and a chance to chat and build community from 12:30pm - 1:30pm.
At 6:30pm we'll do our Closing Circle. This wraps up our time together and is a crucial part of the experience.
The event ends at 7pm.

* Guiding Principles
******************************
- Whoever comes are the right people.
- Whenever it starts is the right time. Spirit and creativity do not run on the clock.
- Wherever it happens is the right place. Space is opening everywhere all the time. Please be conscious and aware.
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. Once something has happened, it's done, and no amount of fretting, complaining or otherwise rehashing can change that. Move on.
- When it's over, it's over.
******************************
* The Law of 2 Feet
******************************
If you are neither benefiting from nor contributing to a conversation/presentation, take your two feet and go somewhere you can.
You have the freedom to move about and participate in what moves you, free from offending the presenters.
No need to get bored or only attend 3 sessions - you can jump around as much or as little as you desire.
****************************************
* Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
****************************************
This day together is a chance to create your own experience, share your own learning, and choose your own adventure. Along the way you have the opportunity to connect with others and ask tough questions or share something you are passionate about in a safe space.

Max has been active in Seattle's kink community since 1992 and has been teaching bondage, BDSM, and polyamory workshops since 1999.
While he is proficient with a wide range of BDSM skills, Max especially enjoys the intimacy of rope bondage and the intensity of the singletail. Max projects a gentle, dominant energy, and all of his relationships - and most of his scenes - include a substantial d/s component.
