Allena Gabosch, Executive Director of the Center For Sex Positive Culture (www.sexpositiveculture.org) (formerly known as The Wet Spot  and Seattle's Sex-Positive Community Center ) has been active in the sex positive movement practically from its beginning (in fact, she's creating sex positive culture on a daily basis). 

She has been producing educational and social events for the sex-positive community since 1990.  She is a frequent speaker on many sex-positive subjects at colleges and conferences around the United States and Canada, with an emphasis on BDSM and Polyamory. 

She is the festival Director for the Seattle Erotic Art Festival (www.seattleerotic.org) and is a past board member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (www.ncsfreedom.org).

In her less than mundane non-kinky life she is active in Landmark Education,  loves theater, good food, walking around Seattle and hopes to run for Seattle City Council in a few years.  In the Spring of 2008 she was appointed to the Seattle Commission for Sexual Minorities (http://www.seattle.gov/scsm/).

Allena is a bisexual, poly switch and considers herself extremely blessed as she has a rich and full poly life, with many amazing and loving people in her "polycule"

Polyamory is a much misunderstood lifestyle. This will be an open and honest discussion about Polyamory in all its forms, from someone who has done it for 30+ years.

Polyamory is an incredible lifestyle, but not always an easy one. It has a lot of rewards, but there are also a lot of pitfalls and potential disasters.

Learn Allena's 20 "Relationship Principles" (great for anyone, poly or mono). Find out tips on making it easier to live within your "polycule".

Come prepared to be part of this dialogue and share your poly experiences.

Playing On The Edge (with jim Duvall): (Course overview)

As a community everything we do is edgy to the outside world. This workshop is about the stuff we do that is edgy even to us. How do we define edge play? What makes edge play succeed and still be safe? How do you keep the sensation of danger and fear in your play? What are some warning signs? How would you go about finding the right play partner for those very out there fantasies.

We will address these topics and more in this workshop. It will not be a specific how to, but rather address the big picture to fit into anyone's fantasy of the dangerous edge. We will give people a list of guidelines they can build on in order to get the danger safely.

Come to this workshop and get yourself started on the path to that unspeakable act you really want to try.
