We are having six different stations with a presenter at each one. You'll be able to roam freely from station to station over the two hours learning what each of the presenters have to show. What will they have to show you ask?

Sensory Deprivation with Ralinad
Class Description
Many kinksters start their journey with a blindfold, and it remains a useful tool with the even the most experienced players. Effectively blocking sight and the other senses can be a challenge. This discussion will explore varied techniques and equipment to help remove or modify sensory input, for both short and long term scenes. From quick techniques to isolate a bottom so they won't know whats next, to more extreme levels of sensory deprivation for relaxation and meditation. Various pieces will be on-hand to spark new ideas for this kind of play, please bring your own ideas as well.
Presenter Bio
Tall, bald, creative guy. I'm always making something. Good meals, leather toys, latex clothes, furniture, desserts with sugar and booze, photos, or whatever strange new toy I happen to be building at the moment. I do design and photography, both for my vanilla company as well as kink events and publications. Some of my kink photography and toymaking tutorials can be seen at smutcraft.com, but thats limited to those I have releases for. I've developed and taught a few classes for groups around the midwest. Toymaking in various forms, "things that go thud in the night", varied rope and non-rope bondage, sensory deprivation/manipulation, and photography for kinky folk.

December Potluck and Food Drive
Every year Satyricon takes a break from the hectic holiday season to focus entirely on our community.
We are part of the Madison Kink community, which we want to help continue to grow and thrive, so this December we will be holding our annual potluck.
I'm sure you've been to plenty of holiday potlucks, but Satyricon's has always been special to me. We build up our community with open discussion so we all may be heard. Our friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers come together, to get to know each other better and tighten those bonds. And this year we'll be helping those in the Madison community by gathering food and household items together for our local food shelter at the Goodman Center.

Embracing Diversity with Sarah Slone
Class Description
While birds of a feather often flock together, the reality is that without sharing our knowledge & efforts with people from other backgrounds & with different interests, our community can become stale and uninspiring. But when we talk about diversity, most of us get uncomfortable, especially when we want to become more inclusive but we do not know how. Lets have an open & honest discussion about how to bridge the gap between orientations, ages, interests, genders, and races with tact, sensibility and a little humor. Bring yourself, leave your assumptions at the door, and take away some new ideas!
Presenter Bio
Sarah Sloane is a sexuality and relationship educator who has shared her knowledge all over the world. We are so lucky she moved from the east coast to the midwest and is able to make it up here to teach for us! Also, she's hilarious and a wonderful human being to boot, so there is that. Sarah has so many amazing classes, but we were able to pick this one that we know you'll all love.

Exploratorium
Class Description
When October rolls around we have our annual Exploratorium.
What's that? You don't know what an Exploratorium is? Think of it as a kinky sampler platter. We're going to have different stations where you can try kinky things with some very experienced players!
What can you try out? You can feel the tingle of a violet wand or some other electric toys with Pogertt, get a little tied up with Sir_Wieland and his rope, or get poked by one or two of June Day's needles or a slice by her scalpels.
Not piquing your interest yet? Okay, how about lettingJinxedkisses fire cup you, Vield show you some tantalizing pervertables,E_Nelly pop a few of your cells, or Vesper cane you as was done to him eight years ago.
If you're in need of a break between all of the action we will be providing a socializing space with some juice, water, and snacks.
So, what are you waiting for? Come on out on October 8th from 3:30-5:30pm, and bring your friends who are a bit nervous or new to this. Or just the ones who like trying new things. Or you like making try new things ;)

This will simply be an educational and informational opportunity for the community to come out and learn the general ins and outs of being a Dungeon Monitor

Rope Intensive
Class Description
We're trying something new here at Satyricon, and we're calling it an "intensive". Groups often have trouble putting on classes that go beyond the 101 level and we're anticipating this to be a great way to reach people at all levels.
Instead of having one presenter in front of everyone we're going to have a number of stations around the room each with an instructor. Each station is going to be focused on a different sort of tie: cuffs, chest harnesses, karadas, et cetera. The stations will be more free form lessons than structured classes; this way everyone who comes will get a lot more personal attention. You'll have time to practice, get personalized lessons, and get one on one attention from the instructor, all in a casual environment. Our instructors are going to be DeviantTouch, ElevateinWI, Jfoto, Sir_Wieland, and Vesper.
For those of you who have been to one of our Exploratoriums this will be similar to those, but instead of getting a taste at each station you'll be learning how to cook the dish. We would appreciate everyone who can to bring their own rope as there will be a lot of hands on experience potential, but if you don't have any don't worry, I'm sure some people will have some spare rope they'd be willing to share.
