Call for Facilitators
Learning and skill sharing are important aspects of Leather culture. Expertise is hot. We want Boundless to be a place to:
– learn seductive new skills and hone existing ones;
– get turned on by the way others think and the words they use;
– watch demos and find new possibilities for play and connection.
Do you have a type of play you would like to teach others or a topic you want to discuss? If so, we need your proposals for either workshops or sessions! See below for more about what we’re looking for.
We can offer one presenter/facilitator for each workshop or session £50 and 1 free weekend ticket.
SATURDAY WORKSHOPS
These are hands-on, participatory sessions where attendees engage in embodied or practical learning. These should include at least 20 minutes of doing, making, moving, or practising. We’re particularly interested in sessions that:
- Explore skills or topics through experience and practice
- Invite attendees to co-create something (e.g. resources, shared language, creative outputs)
- Leave a trace, something we can document and share with the wider community (e.g. a visual record like a poster, discussion points noted on a whiteboard that can be photographed for prosperity, notes for a blog or group created zine)
IMMERSIVE SPACES
If you are a seasoned facilitator with experience in guiding group play, holding immersive or thematic spaces, or you have creative ideas that don’t quite fit into a 90-minute Saturday workshop, we’d love to be in conversation with you.
These sessions are less about structured learning and more about creating a vibe, a world, or a shared experience. They can be drop-in or closed session, and should be designed with accessibility, agency, and consent in mind. We are especially looking for facilitators who can:
- Hold themed, immersive, or roleplay-inspired spaces (e.g. a queer Scouts session where littles and their caregivers can earn badges through knot-tying and other skills)
- Guide open group play spaces (e.g. kinky hide-and-seek, cuddle coven, rope jams) where attendees can drop in and out, engage at their own pace, with optional facilitation and consent-based participation
- Host closed group play scenes (e.g. the doors to participants closes once the group is formed, a collaborative beatdown, group fantasy enactment, or sensory ritual) with clear framing, safety, and emotional aftercare
These spaces require experience to hold so we will want to vet you and have conversations ahead of BOUNDLESS to create the safest spaces possible. Even if they have sharp edges.
