National Educator: Master Leather Redux & Raea

Master Leather Redux and Raea hail from the Windy City. They are the Co-Directors for MAsT Chicago, along with CayceStahr. Education and safety are part of their core values. They have both taught in-person and virtually for many events including the Leather Archives & Museum's Kink Klass Series, Naughty Revival, TESFest, SPLF, SELF to name a few. Most recently they taught at International Mr. Leather 2025. If you see them play, look out for Florentine whips, fire flogging, and lots of laughter! They will be teaching three classes. Impact Play: “Florentine Whips”: This class focuses on doing the Florentine movement while utilizing two whips. One can also use dragon-tails or floggers if whips are your thing. We will go over the basic Florentine such as the 4 beat weave. For those who have mastered that, we will go over the 6 beat weave. The Florentine movement can color and change the texture of a scene due the various sensations it often provides. There will also be exercises to help improve the aim and accuracy of each hit. So, bring your favorite match items to Florentine! Relationships: "I'M FINE... but really I'm not" Let's Get Radical About the Truth”: Being open and honest is essential in a power exchange dynamic, but sometimes it's easier to say "I'm fine" rather than sharing what may be upsetting you. But little white lies have a way of growing into resentment and frustration. How do we foster vulnerability and forgiveness to have the difficult conversations that help us grow in our dynamics? Together we will discuss skills and practices that help encourage honesty at all times through the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness. Master Leather Redux and Raea will share both their personal challenges and successes with radical honesty and forgiveness. Additionally, they will share how the practice of radical honesty and forgiveness helps to heal older wounds around shame and guilt that may be getting in the way of alignment in our dynamics. Edge Play: “Fire Flogging -- It's Getting Hot in Here”: Fire flogging is a form of edge play which is sexy and fun when done safely. Yes, the floggers are on fire! Curious about how to do it safely? Let Master Leather Redux show you what you need to know as both a top and bottom and the equipment you need!

National Educators: Travis Wilson & Amy

Travis Wilson has over 35 years’ experience in the Leather/BDSM lifestyle. He was a co-founder and chairman of Houston’s People Exchanging Power (PEP), co-founder and chairman of Houston S&M Ball, an internally respected fetish event. Travis presents at many Leather/BDSM events across the country in states including Nebraska, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alabama, Washington D.C., South Dakota, Montana, and Texas. He now focuses upon providing joint workshops with his Significant Other, the lovely Amy, or WolfMoon73. Amy has been a part of the BDSM community since 2005, with time spent in areas such as Chicago, Wisconsin, St. Louis, and Minnesota. She has quickly grown to love the Southwest and has assimilated here. Her main BDSM interests are as a BootBlack and an S&M heavy play bottom. Amy helps Travis with all their classes and also teaches Piercing, bloodlust and Bootblack classes. Communication: “Communication in a Scene”: How to Read a bottom - How to be Read by a Top. Ever negotiate a scene and someone tell you they are a pain slut and find out they are not, at least by your idea of a pain slut? Ever negotiate a scene and someone tell you they are NOT a pain slut, but during the scene you find they want to go farther then you could imagine? Ever have someone go “quiet” and not know what it means? Every have someone giggle while you think you are hitting as hard as you can? Trust me, Safe Words are NOT enough. Negotiations are NOT enough. We, Bottoms and Tops must learn to “communicate” during our scenes, but in ways that don’t ruin the mood or the “space”. We have to learn to read physical language, and maybe even the language of human energies. I have some ideas, (one of them my own secret, come in and maybe I will tell it to you). You have your ideas, so bring those. Together lets try and discover ways to make our scenes more memorable, more “hot”, more where both partners want to really go. Let’s discuss the importance of NOT violating consent when reading our partners. What parts of a scene we can be flexible with and what parts are not open to modifications. Edge Play: "Knives & Other Sharp Pointy Things - with Demos”: Blood and passion, light scratches, sensual sensations, fantasies and mind play, rites of passages and body modifications. All of this and much more. Sharp pointy objects can take us all the way in BDSM, from the most soft, sensual, romantic play, to the most heavy blood play. They can be all about S&M or they can be all about helping you in your own spiritual journey. Talons, knives, scalpels, bear claws, needles, teeth, finger nails, and so many more types of sharp objects. I'll show you mine, you show me yours. Bring your own "sharp pointy things", and together lets learn how to touch our partner's soul as well as their bodies and minds. Note: Large weapons and knives are not allowed at Kintoberfest. Check wtih event coordinator before brining any dangerous item. [Backup Class] “Mind Fucks 101”: One of the most common forms of BDSM is Mindfucks. We do them by themselves. We combine them with other forms of play. Think knife play, interrogations, and so many others. For some Bottoms, nothing compares to the excitement and fear brought on by a good Mindfuck. What are Mindfucks? How do we plan them, from the most simple to the most complex? How do we "get consent" for something the Bottom does not even know is going to happen? How to we execute our plan that "says" we are doing one thing, when we are actually doing something else? How about after care? And really important, like a magician, how to we handle the "reveal". How do we tell the Bottom what was really happening? And are there times that it is better to keep our magic tricks secret and not reveal what was really happening?

National Educators: Master Malik

Master Malik is an avid practitioner of old fashion SM and strongly believes in a powerful connection between SM and the spiritual realm. Significant similarities between Leather and Sufism have helped Master Malik to continue his journey on the path of mastery and slavery with his slaves, slave Cathy, slavegirl Marion, and slave SweetSalt. He strongly believes with passion in "Acceptance", "Tolerance" and "Diversity" of our larger tribe. He is proud to have the privilege of presenting and judging at several local, regional, national and international events and gatherings. Note: SweetSalt had a conflict and cannot attend. Amy Wilson will stand in for the blood ritual class. Blood: Show Me Your Soul - Blood Ritual/Cutting: Blood letting rituals have been a part of the human experience since the beginning. The sacred and vital substance of blood has been used in purification rituals, to show a sign of obedience, offer the gift of surrender, empower sacred objects, and seal the precious bond between lovers, family and friends in various cultures. The focus of this class is on the powerful and sensual properties of blood and spiritual and ritual cutting. We will discuss its allure and magnetism as well as the emotional and spiritual impact it has in a S&M session. The eroticism of the act of cutting is a very potent aphrodisiac and has a powerful affect on the psyche of those involved in blood play. We will discuss necessary safety precautions and the appropriate equipment to use during blood rituals/play as well as offer suggestions on how to create an atmosphere conducive to such a session. We shall also share our views and experiences about the power this kind of energy exchange which is at the apex of body, mind and soul. Please be advised that this is an advanced class recommended for people who understand the idea of risk aware consensual kink; for those who desire and love playing on the edge. Community: Restorative Justice, Redemption, or Nothing: In our larger kink community, we are plagued by incidents of consent violations or conflict of many kinds. Some can be simple mistakes or poor negotiations while many are much more serious where more harm is inflicted and real traumas leave long lasting scars. Let’s dare to discuss this. Is there a such a thing as “Restorative Justice” amongst us? Are there paths for an offender to acknowledge, face the consequences, and redeem themselves? Or, in my personal observation, once any consent violation happens, that is it. There is no forgiving, there is no redemption - banned for life. Let’s talk about this very serious, however seldom discussed, topic. We are motivated by impact on the victim and the community. What steps must an offender take if there is a path for redemption? Let us talk about survivor safety versus transformation of those who caused harm. What does accountability look like? How do we distinguish between ignorance, carelessness and intentional exploitation? Does intent matter as much as the impact? How do we hold space for growth when harm was unintentional, while protecting the community from those who act with malice? What are the unforgivable acts? Let us open our minds and hearts to address this problem to make all of us better members of our chosen lifestyle.

Kinktoberfest’s main event began on the morning of Saturday November 1st, kicking off 18 classes, all of our full vendor space, socials, cigar social discussions, in conversations over lunch brought in from local restaurants. Before each class period, free raffles, in front of full crowds, highlighted our vendor offerings and announcements of what was coming next. A break for dinner let attendees bring food into the facility or go out to local eateries as the facility space was transformed from classroom to play party. About 8 pm, three fantasies entertained attendees as some played and some watched. Fantasies were provided by Master Leather Redux & raea, Ty the Gentleman, and Mistress Glow and her amazing crew of performers in a dazzling Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos inspired production. The play party energy was amazingly inclusive, perhaps inspired by low lights and house music in the main hall with a large pan space, male- identifying space, and female- identifying space. This area had a mixture of BDSM scenes, sex triple gang bangs with lines of men waiting, pup piles, sounds of whips, grunts and groans escaping the male-identifying space, rope scenes evolving here and there, sling action, and more. Our dungeon-side was more quiet and had traditional BDSM play, with conversations in the dungeon annex and foyer. Quiet space existed in the smoking tent and other outside tents. Together, this create one of the most inclusive and welcoming play spaces we’ve seen in New Mexico. It set the tone for Sunday’s play party that didn’t want to end. After the fantasies, some of Kinktoberfest’s attendees chose the play option at Onyx High Desert’s Gear Night located at Sidewinders Bar & Grill / ABQ Eagle, where the Onyx brothers held demos and socialized with Mufasa Ali as well as Master Leather Redux and raea (both honorary members of Onyx).
