Sunday, 9:30 - 10:15 am
Where does spirituality fit in today's leather/kink community a panel moderated by Steve Ward with panelists Marc Fuentes and Angela di Tenebre

Do you ever wonder if there could be a spiritual aspect of Leather or kinky sex and play? When you do engage in play, do you feel that something, psychologically, is missing in the experience? We will discuss the definition of the word “spirituality” as it relates to today’s Leather scene, and compare spirituality and Leather among various spiritual practices.

How you will benefit from this presentation:

We hope that attendees will come away with a fuller knowledge of their own inner spiritual selves, as well as how other people convey their spiritual practices in our Leather community.

How this presentation will arouse you:

We intend to discuss the social and political impact of community groups who would want us to believe that our behavior is, somehow, abhorrent.
