INDIANAPOLIS – Please join MAsT:Indianapolis on December 14th, 2012 from 8-10p at the 501 Eagle Indianapolis as Master Stephen (Great Lakes Master 2005) presents his seminar “The Path of Mastery”.
The Path of Mastery
There are many possible activities that one can associate with Mastery (giving orders, receiving service, flogging, bondage, physical intimidation, will-imposition , etc.), but very little formal discussion is given towards “what does a Master ~do~?”
An individual doesn’t need to like ropes, or be sadistic, or even be a dominant to be a Master, although those skill-sets are certainly in the toy-box of many in our Master community. The kink-component of our lifestyle adds fun to our role, but can (and often does) obscure and overwhelm a subtle but fulfilling aspect of a Master’s life.
In this seminar, we will not walk the path of sadomasochism, or restraint, or even the road of dominance. Leave your talk of toys, sex, and service at the door, and come prepared to travel down a path many of us have not considered as a separate option in its own right: the Path of Mastery.
Master Stephen started tying up the girl-next-door (actually she was across the street) in 1976, although it took nearly twenty-five years for him to realize that there was a greater community that not only condoned, but actively encouraged such behavior. His bondage-top ways progressed into sadism by the late 80’s, but by 1995 he found his true calling as a ‘spiritual dominant’ and never looked back. Since then he has had the great honor of guiding a select few wonderful individuals, all of whom still own his heart as deeply as he ever owned them.
As a career academic, he feels compelled to both share and learn… and although his formal training is in Physics, his passions include history, ancient languages, cognitive development, and game design. He was awarded the title of Great Lakes Master in 2005, currently holds the position of MAsT senior representative for the Great Lakes region, and has been appointed the Great Lakes liaison to South Plains.
