Ani has been on a path of secular humanism for the past decade using the tools found in Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism and the Judeo-Christian religions. While she does not claim any one particular faith structure as her own, she seeks to find the overlap inherent in all the spiritual traditions and seeks guidance from teachers such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa, Pema Chödron and Deepak Chopra. She seeks everyday opportunities to exhibit patience, gratitude, compassion, loving-kindness and acceptance for all beings. She keeps an online blog of the lessons she learns along the way at commonzen.livejournal.com.

Arakeane exploits the diversity of his religious, sexual, and spiritual background to bring a unique mix of talent to the pagan community. His Baptist, Methodist, Evangelical, Thalamic, and Mormon background from his early years intermingles with his vast experience in sadomasochism, liberal sexuality, and avant-garde spirituality tempered by his various Wiccan experiences and practices for the past 20 years. A Naval Officer, Engineer, Physicist, Computer Scientist, and Dungeon Master by trade, Arakeane interleaves his professional training into his quest for spiritual awareness and comprehension. The thrice sworn soul-mate of the High Priestess Selene, Arakeane has been in the public Pagan forum since the late 1980s. Most noted for his open work entwining diverse pagan practices with Wicca, Arakeane has been an embarrassment to fundamentalists from many Pagan traditions for well over a decade. A Distinguished Toastmaster, off-Broadway New York actor, trained in NLP, holistic healing, and a diverse set of other spiritual disciplines, Arakeane's spontaneous and entertaining presentation style typically delights his audience. Even if you've taken a previous year's workshop, you're sure to be delighted with the continuous changes introduced, and Arakeane's ability to spiritually immerse you in the subject matter.

Barbara Carrellas is an author, sex educator, and theater artist. Her most recent books are Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century and Luxurious Loving: Tantric Inspirations for Passion and Pleasure. Barbara's pioneering Urban Tantra® workshops were named best in New York City by TimeOut/New York magazine. She is also the co-founder of Erotic Awakening, a groundbreaking series of workshops which toured the United States and Australia.

Barbara offers a holistic, metaphysical, practical, humorous, entertaining and gender-fluid approach to conscious sexuality. She began her work in metaphysics and conscious sexuality during the AIDS crisis in the late 1980s—a time when the connections between sex, spirit and healing were at their most strained. Barbara has facilitated countless healing circles and support groups for women, men, transsexuals, artists, people with life-threatening illnesses and people with HIV/AIDS. For four years she was a facilitator for and on the Board of Directors of the New York Healing Circle, which was founded in response to the AIDS crisis and incorporated the principles of Louise Hay's work. As her workshops grew in popularity and in attendance, her work expanded to include people from all walks of life and in all stages of sexual evolution.

The more Barbara explored sex and consciousness, the more she saw the possibilities for healing and expanded consciousness in all forms of “sacred” practices, including Tantra, Tao, Quodoushka, Reiki, breathwork, metaphysics, performance, ritual, herbal medicine, bodywork, erotic massage, commercial sex work and BDSM. Her books and her workshops are an eclectic mix of sexual and spiritual practices designed to encourage readers and participants of all sexual preferences and genders to expand their capacity for both pleasure and spiritual fulfillment.

Beth & Preston: Beth is a professional massage therapist and doula (childbirth assistant). She has a long history of using touch for relaxation and healing through massage, for assisting mothers through the birth process, for supporting infants in her water babies classes, and for working with animals. She has adapted her touch training to the scene, frequently joining Preston in conducting a SensationStation at BDSM Exploratoriums in a variety of settings. After helping Preston through his issues with erectile dysfunction, she faced breast cancer surgery, chemo, radiation and long term treatment on hormone suppressive drugs with Preston's support. Through all of this, they have mastered the art of a very satisfying sexuality that goes way beyond hormones. Her focus is on touching lives in ways that enhance and enrich. She is especially proud of touching her step-daughter's life and nurturing her growth both in and out of the scene.

Preston brings balance and humor to Beth's presentations. A technical person by profession, he keeps Beth on focus. He made his 30-year marriage to an unhappy woman a study in what satisfies a woman. While it may not have succeeded with his first wife, he has developed an incredibly sensitive approach to touching others which he frequently uses to introduce newbies to BDSM through a Sensation Station at Exploratoriums in various settings. He has also paired massage training from Beth with his foot and touch fetishes to offer a truly wonderful sensual foot or full body massage. After working with Beth through his own issues with erectile dysfunction, he supported Beth through breast cancer surgery, chemo, radiation and long term treatment with hormone suppressive drugs. Through all of this they have mastered the art of a very satisfying sexuality that goes way beyond hormones.

Dancing With Flame: Fireplay

Carlos Manuel Melendez: My qualifications for presenting such a course go back to 1989, my initiation into Chaos Magick (then a fledgling occult society). We were the first chaos magick temple in the US with four total active temple initiates; with time, we became a national occult society. Our roots originate from Pete Carroll and the IOT UK, of which I was an Adept (one of only nine then formally initiated in the chaos magick world). I served as chief of adepts USA. Prior initiations include Rosy Cross, Aeth Priesthood, Randolph sexual cultivation, and Lucis Trust. I have originated no less than four temples in California, to include the Temple of Luna, East Coast. I am presently writing a book expressing a divergent view of magick, mixed in with the cultures of ancient India; and tantricism. I have taught at the International Conference of Eros, Harbin Hot Springs; and was a member of a local alternative sex organization. In addition to a busy professional life, I am a well known subscriber to tribe and other interesting sites.

Denise Cumor is devoted to making vaginas happy and empowered; she has dedicated most of her adult life to this single purpose. Growing up in a patriarchal culture where womyn are objectified, sexually abused and shamed for their acts of sexual exploration, she found herself being pushed under, this is when she began to reclaim her sexuality and to help other womyn do the same. Identifying as a Pagan and learning to embody the Goddess in all her forms has given her the confidence to build on this reclamation. Experiences that have profoundly strengthened her commitment: working as a stripper for 4 years on Baltimore's infamous 'Block,' teaching OB-GYN protocol to medical students with Johns Hopkins, selling adult novelties with Athena's Home Novelties, working as an Ad Rep for $pread Magazine, directing and acting in various productions of the "Vagina Monologues," being a part of the Spiral Dance Womyn's Center collective where she teaches sex workshops, making music with her band Dirty Mothers and making ceramic Goddess and vagina rattles. This is her first year vending as The Red Tent, where she sells adult novelties, sacred feminine art, books/media and organic feminine hygiene products.

Luna and carrie: carrie has been an active member in the BDSM community since 2000. Carrie had her own biological horse with which she did extensive training, going on to be an award-winning team on the show circuit. Carrie's experiences with her own biological horse really fed into her natural desire and instinct as a human pony. Carrie's inner pony is Mystic Storm. Mystic Storm is an award winning pony with 5+ years of training. She is a show pony who loves to prance around the show ring and show off her stuff. But when she isn't showing she enjoys seeking out mischief and playing with (or intimidating) other ponies. Mystic Storm is a very spirited and feisty pony who is known for her expert shin kicking and her desire to bite when unhappy.

Luna has been exploring, learning and living a BDSM/Leather lifestyle for the past five years. She identifies within the lifestyle as a submissive and enjoys many forms of play and service. Luna started training as a groom, then quickly picked up handling ponies and moved naturally into training. As well as training she enjoys being very active in the Leather/BDSM communities and volunteering for different events and organizations. Together with Mystic Storm, she is working on doing their own presentations about pony play and relationships between trainer and pony and a variety of other topics. Luna met the pony Mystic Storm at a Midwest Area Pony Play event in Ann Arbor, MI '03 and they have worked together on and off since. Each has won ribbons and/or awards with other ponies or trainers but still enjoyed working together when time allowed. Two years ago they decided to become pony and trainer and work more steadily to this end. They also enjoy teaching others about, and exposing them to, the art of pony play. Their dream would be to see ponies running free and being accepted at every event and play space where possible.

In October of 2007, Luna and Carrie had the honor of being awarded the titles of International Pony & Trainer 2008. This title is the first of its kind, and our goal for our title year is to make sure the title and pony play continue to grow and flourish. The International Pony & Trainer competition was held at Florida Fetish Weekend, where Carrie also unveiled the Pony Pride flag which she designed.

Whittney Matlock is a professional massage therapist, Pagan priest, healer and educator. His path to the Old Ways began when he was very young and every step has been an exciting journey. After years of exploring his connection to the Gods and Goddesses, in the early nineties he began a journey into the world of BDSM. Discovering the magick in BDSM pushed him deep into the world of ecstatic trance, giving him the tools to explore this amazing world of consciousness. All of these experiences have taught him to help others learn to heal through trust, touch and ecstasy. He has learned his crafts from the bottom up, beginning by following the path of ordeal and coming to discover his personal power through it. Now, a teacher in the BDSM and Pagan communities, he combines his experience of healing, faith and trance work to offer insights into the many ways in which magick manifests itself around us in every aspect of life.

Whittney is a perennial presenter for Black Rose Society and The Crucible, in DC. He explores and teaches about the ordeal path with the members of Kindlers of the Sacred Rhythm. He and his partner are facilitators for a public ordeal rite called SuspenDC. He and his lover are also working on many projects to be of service to their community. Their ultimate goal, to create a fall healing retreat, Healing the Spirit, focusing on teaching people through trance to use the healing power inside themselves to change their lives.

Whittney's classes are not for the faint of heart. He'll see to it that everyone gets involved. His charm and panache will captivate you, as he pulls you out of your chair and eggs you on to discover what's inside yourself. Take a chance, risk discovering parts of yourself that you lost track of, or, maybe, even find something in you which you never knew existed.
