Shame is so often a major barrier to kink exploration. And yet, shame is rarely ours to carry. This dialogue session centers the topic of shame as it relates to kink and our sexualities in hopes of dislodging shame as a societal mechanism of control that we rarely consent to. Of note: this session is not designed to shame kinksters who are into shaming in BDSM dynamics.
Once the flogging is finished, the cries are silenced, and both the Top and sub are physically exhausted and emotionally transported, how do they return to the real world? This roundtable discussion will focus on the importance of aftercare and how the quiet and gentleness of the post-scene experience can strengthen the bond between participants. The discussion will cover how to approach aftercare once the scene is done, how to care for a sub in sub-space, what some of the needs of a Top may be, and how to care for someone who is triggered unexpectedly.
A lot of us in the community are hearing more about switches, but rarely do we get to hold space to talk about the joys and struggles of being a switch in BDSM dynamics. This session will offer some different ways to define “switch,” explore what that can look like in and out of more traditional Dom/sub dynamics, and play a bit with our bodies and communication strategies for expressing switchiness.
Mentorship is the practice of providing guidance and education to newcomers or those less experienced in the lifestyle. Mentors help mentees navigate safely and confidently on their journey of self-discovery, giving them tools and understanding to grow and become their most authentic selves. This discussion will offer suggestions on how to vet potential mentees and mentors, communication tools that facilitate the mentorship process, different types of mentorship techniques, and how to develop the best approach to help guide a mentee on their journey through the kink lifestyle.
A sensual, consent-centered warm-up for the play party. You’ll name your desires, curiosities, and limits, then explore touch and connection beyond appearances through a guided blindfolded give-and-receive practice. With support from dungeon masters, we’ll focus on sensation, trust, and honoring boundaries as we build the energy and presence to carry into the night’s play.
Our main event: a curated, consensual space for exploration, exhibition, and embodied kink connection.
Start your morning with a good spank. Today’s music will be Prince and the Purple Ass, sexy, funky, sensual, rhythmic, and playful.

This is very much a hands-on class. Psychologically, we will explore releasing fears of giving away control and building trust. We will create a safe group space and have a conversation on safety and risk. Participants will pair up, with step-by-step instructions on ways to wrap. Often when wrapped, folks have an out-of-body experience or a cocoon feeling. Each person has their own experience. Often more BDSM play happens. We will demonstrate other toys that can be used.
In this hands-on workshop, Rhyse combines presenter-led demonstrations with attendee practice. We’ll discuss basic safety practices, safety checks, and negotiation practices specific to rope scenes. When you leave this class, you should know how to tie the most versatile of shibari knots, the “Lark’s Head,” to tie single column, double column, and hogties. No previous experience with rope is necessary.
Have you ever played with wax or fantasized about it? We will have a conversation on risk, safety, and RACK, then talk about materials used in hot wax play, which waxes are best, different temperatures of waxes, and how smooth or hairy bodies can be waxed. We will also explore what brings you here psychologically, including releasing fears and opening to desires. We will demonstrate a wax edge session, and then it’s hands-on exploring.
Using the beginner-friendly Lark’s Head and Overhand knots, attendees will work alongside the instructor to construct a full body bind. This includes hip harness, chest harness, and optional ties for the wrists and ankles that serve to heavily restrict the bottom’s mobility while providing the Top with all-important leverage. In addition to being fun, sexy, and aesthetically pleasing, these ties also create accessibility for intimate connections. Come to class prepared to tie and be tied.
Curious about Pup Play? Join Zane Zucker for an overview of the kink, as well as what makes pups tick. Maybe you’ll even discover your inner pup.
This is a hands-on class where we will explore different impact items. We will do a show-and-tell pass-around with items including hands, paddles, floggers, canes, and more. We will talk about health and safety, including impact locations on the body. We will pair off and practice.
Gather by the fire in the yard for a letting-go ritual followed by drumming and consensual flogging. Participants may sign up to flog or be flogged, while others help build energy through rhythm and presence before the party.
Our main event: a curated, consensual space for exploration, exhibition, and embodied kink connection.
Start your morning with a good spank. Today’s music will be Rock My Body, with power rock, big choruses, and a mix of upbeat songs and emotional ballads.

Building inclusive dynamics, spaces, and communities begins inside ourselves. How can we build awareness about our community members who are different from us? How can we learn to be fully present and supportive in our relationships, both romantic and communal? This session seeks to begin answering these questions by building awareness of our own unconscious biases and learning to dismantle them.
A combination roundtable and hands-on exploration of what draws us to tit and pit play. We will explore how the senses of smell, touch, and taste can create an exciting and impactful session, and how this type of play can move from light and gentle to intense and unrelenting. We’ll discuss what we find erotic and sexy, how we respond when these areas of the body are explored, and various techniques that can be used when engaging in this kind of play.
There’s something primal about touching flame to skin. The psychological and sensory thrills are exceptional, but fireplay, like other forms of edge play, comes with significant risk. This class employs RACK to cover the safest methods we can use in fireplay: necessary equipment and setting up your play space, demonstrations of various techniques including cupping, fleshing, and drumming, and a “tasting.”
This guided trust walk invites participants to explore surrender, connection, and consent through the five senses. Working with a consented partner or small group, you’ll practice trusting others while heightening your awareness of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. The workshop offers a grounded way to explore letting go while staying connected to clear boundaries and mutual care.
We will gather for a conversation on water sports. Why would you enjoy WS or not? We will talk about RACK in water sports. Is it fantasy? Is it shame? This class is interactive and, weather permitting, will take place outside
E-stim, or electrical stimulation, is the use of a low voltage electrical current to stimulate areas of the body for pleasure. We will review various types of E-stim power boxes, as well as different applications of using them on the body with attachments. Participants will then have an opportunity to experience the sensations on themselves or with a partner if desired.
Join us on the deck for dessert and a playful pre-party social. Participants may sign up ahead of time to serve as “sub servers,” (with clear consent and boundaries established in advance) Ryhse will offer bootblacking, and there may be some exhibition-style demo scenes happening on the deck or in the yard below.
Our main event: a curated, consensual space for exploration, exhibition, and embodied kink connection.
Start your morning with a good spank. Today’s music will be Gospel Morning, joyful, soulful, uplifting, and communal for the final morning.

Not at all. The retreat is designed to welcome both newcomers and veteran players. It opens with a community-wide session called "Setting the Stage" that covers consent, negotiation, safety tools, and dungeon etiquette. That shared foundation makes it possible for everyone — regardless of experience level — to participate with confidence.
The schedule varies by year and includes a wide range of hands-on workshops. Past offerings have included spanking and impact play, rope bondage, mummification, wax play, fire play, electrical stimulation, pup play, power exchange dynamics, and more. The full schedule is published ahead of each retreat. Most sessions are experiential — you'll practice skills with fellow attendees, not just watch a lecture.
Setting the Stage is a community-wide session held at the start of the retreat, and everyone is asked to attend. It establishes shared intentions and agreements, covers basic safety and dungeon etiquette, and gives participants a chance to practice consent negotiation through interactive exercises. This session is the foundation everything else builds on.
Each evening after dinner, there's a facilitated play party — a curated, consensual space for exploration, exhibition, and connection. Every party begins with a warm-up activity to build presence and set the tone for the night. Dungeon masters are present to ensure a safe environment. The space is facilitated until at least midnight, after which it remains open and unfacilitated.
Each day, participants gather in small facilitated groups to reflect, share, and integrate their experiences. These daily check-ins — roughly 45 minutes to an hour — offer mutual support and a more intimate space within the larger retreat community. Many past attendees say their small group became one of the most meaningful parts of the weekend.
Aftercare is the care and support that follows an intense scene, helping both tops and bottoms transition back to a grounded state. It's a core part of the kink culture at Kink Odyssey — discussed in workshops and woven into the retreat's values. (Note for Freddy: worth confirming whether an aftercare lounge is offered at this year's play parties, since it's appeared in past events.)
Bring a curious spirit and a willing attitude. If you have leather, rubber, boots, or other fetish wear, bring it — the atmosphere is fetish-friendly and kink gear is encouraged. Bring your toys. (Note for Freddy: if there's a more detailed packing list you share with registrants, a short version or "see your welcome email" callout could go here.)
Kink Odyssey is a BDSM and kink exploration retreat, not a sex club. The play parties are adult erotic spaces, but the event's emphasis is on consent, community, connection, and skill — not a bathhouse environment. Easton Mountain is sex-positive, but not sex-forward.
