* Sunday, May 13th: This afternoon, the Erotic Hypnosis Peershare will be meeting from 3-5pm at the cafe, with an introduction for those new to hypnosis, erotic or otherwise, from 2-3pm. This is a discussion and workshop munch where attendees can show everybody something new about hypnosis. Teach and learn some new hypnosis concepts, discuss ethics and consent, learn and practice technique, and meet some new friends. Come with a partner, by yourself, or with a party of all of your best friends. In the evening from 6-8pm, Unity (Facebook link) will be meeting in the back. This discussion group/munch is for kinksters, queers, alternative relationship stylers, and general scene goers to get together and find support with one another. It's not easy handling abuse alone: that's what this group is for. We will be getting together once a month to eat, talk, and help support each other in healing any way we can. This is a freely structured discussion group, after an introduction and safe space guidelines are established, you're welcome to talk to one another, pose questions or topics to the group, or just be with us. No participation is required. All that we ask is that everyone keeps an open mind.

Be on time for a thorough introduction to “the scene” starting promptly at 7pm, and stay after for a Q&A session where no question is too silly. Make friends with other newbies, and get 10% off books and gear at the cafe as a welcome to our community!

Stop by, wear what you wanna wear, and make new friends. If you’re planning on heading to Bondage-a-Go-Go: Ladies’ Night, be sure to ask your barista for a stamped BaGG receipt if you spend over $10 on food/drink. You’ll get a discount at Cat Club’s door!
