Seminar: The Art of Service: Two Personal Perspectives with Tristan and Colten

Date and Time: Friday 13th of April 7:30pm

Venue: Eagle Leather, 80 Hoddle Street, Abbotsford

Seminar outline: What is service? How do you define it? How do you create a relationship built around service? We'll share our own personal philosophies and practices around service-oriented D/s including: how each of us came to embrace a desire to give or receive service; what motivates and inspires each of us; how to explore and reinforce different elements of D/s service; how to keep it fresh; and what role sex plays in all of it.

This seminar is limited to 20 people, bookings are required
