Evergreen Leather Events presents a private event that includes two workshops, snacks, dinner with Robert Rubel and an even of socializing with a dungeon open for play.

Workshop description:

A structured relationship takes lots of hard work –– both on the part of the Master and the slave. This workshop grew out of my own exploration into ways to bridge the gaps in our backgrounds, language levels, and skill levels. Among others, we will explore areas of invisibility, assumptions, and agreements. We will also touch on communication theory and practice, sorting modalities, and transactional analysis. Finally, we’ll touch on some ideas for turning a negative relationship towards the positive through word choice. Group participation is welcomed (and expected). We’re all in this together.

Evergreen Leather Events is pleased to present this workshop in an intimate and expanded format.  The workshop will be taking place in a private home in Kenmore, WA.  Attendence will be limited to 20 people, including Dr. Rubel.
