Broaden Your Mind - 8.15.24

Other Community Events to Enjoy!

The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.

We include non-CSPC events in every issue. If you have an event suggestion, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!

August 17

Pan Eros: Mermaid and Agura Ties ($60 | in person)

The mermaid and the agura are both beautiful and distinct lower body ties that each have their own possibilities for play. Using demos and hands-on portions, students will learn how to tie suspension-worthy versions of both ties. They will learn how to load the mermaid in a suspension and how to transform the agura into an ebi on the floor and in a partial. Bottoms will take away options to increase sustainability, such as adding more support, and knowledge of common body sensations.

August 18

Sex Positive World: Sexy Intersections - Anti-Oppression and Sex Positivity ($0–25 | online)

This class helps us all think about the many power dynamics that affect us when we interact in sex positive community. This is a core class in SPW for all of us wanting to learn more about how we show up/speak up/receive feedback from others when we share space together. It’s a good space for beginners who are eager to learn as well as for experienced community members who want more tools and techniques to navigate sexy spaces well.

Papaya Project: Seattle Sexuality Professionals Meet-Up (free | in person)

Are you a Sexuality Educator, Counselor, Therapist, or other sexuality-related professional living in Seattle?

SeaPAH: Jockstraps and Glitter (free | in person)

The Seattle Sisters of Perpetual indulgence, Abbey of Saint Joan and Quake Rugby RFC are having their annual fundraising kickball match, and all of SEA-PAHs good little pets have been invited to cause chaos on the field! The audience can pay to have our pets strip the players of their clothes, slather them in sunscreen, and much more.

August 30 – September 2

Diadem Events and Yes Mi'Lady present: FUCK! ($69–$150 | in person)

Diadem and Yes Mi’Lady are partnering to bring you something special again this fall! The Femdom UnConference Kamp (FUCK!) will be a chance to teach, to learn, and to gather and play amid a community of Femdoms and those who love them. An unconference is a participant-driven skill-share on a community level. Instead of having specific presenters and a regimented schedule, attendees will have a chance to learn from one another in an informal setting. Any topic is on the table! Enjoy a whole weekend of camping or purchase a day pass. Food and dungeon space on Saturday and Sunday are included with tickets. Add-ons for parking and campsites are also available. Note: this is a vetted event.

Editor’s note for all events*

As a reminder, these are non-CSPC events. We include them as a way to open your mind to possible other experiences, but we have no control over them, their content, or their missions.
