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 knowledge sharing using "open space technologies" at Max's home, and led by Eri Kardos.
This will be Max and Eri's third Kinklab collaboration - the first two (on March 28th and July 12th 2015) were tremendous successes and left all of us hungry for more. Do join us!
**************************************************
* What is the Schedule for this Event?
**************************************************
Doors open at 9:30am, allowing you plenty of time to check-in, get a cup of coffee, and mingle with the other attendees.
At 10am we'll gather in Max's dungeon for the Opening Circle where Eri will explain the concept of Open Space Technologies/Unconferences and how the day will work. There will be 5 areas for sessions and 7 time blocks, allowing for 35 unique sessions during the day.
From 10:30am - 12:30am We'll launch into our morning unconference sessions.
From 12:30am - 1:15pm we will provide a catered lunch and a chance to chat and build community.
At 1:15pm we'll reconvene and check in with folks to see how the morning went.
From 1:30pm - 6:30pm we will move into our afternoon unconference sessions.
At 6:30 we'll do our Closing Circle. This wraps up our time together and is a crucial part of the experience.
The event ends at 7:00 pm

* 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 seven 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.

* About Max
******************************
Max has been active in Seattle's kink community since'92 and has been teaching bondage, BDSM, and polyamory workshops since'99.
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.
Max's love of teaching shines through his workshops, and his love for people informs his personal encounters.
