7:00 PM - 10:00 PM IN-PERSON – TES Monthly Munch October 6 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM IN-PERSON – TES Monthly Munch We’d love to have you at the TES Monthly Munch! Whether you’re new to the scene, an old friend, or just curious, our monthly munch is a great opportunity to meet fellow kinksters in a low-key, low-pressure setting. There’s no need to RSVP, and everyone is welcome—you don’t even have to be a TES member to join us! We gather on the first Monday of every month (if it’s a holiday, we’ll meet on the following Monday) at an alternative lifestyle-friendly diner in NYC. Our hosts will be there to give you a warm welcome and answer any questions. Attending is free; you just pay for your food and please remember to tip your server well! We also ask that you wear “vanilla” (non-BDSM) clothes.

Please assess your own risk and act accordingly. We will have a discreet contact tracing option available, which we encourage you to use.

7:30 PM - 10:00 PM IN-PERSON: Trampling for All Bodies with B0ihazard October 9 @ 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM IN-PERSON: Trampling for All Bodies with B0ihazard There are numerous myths surrounding trampling, many of which are rooted in body negativity or stigma surrounding body size or ability. Please join b0ihazard for this 1.5-hour intensive, specifically designed to accommodate individuals new to trampling and finding their feet. We will go over strategies for balance, and work up from kneeling/stepping onto walking/stomping on our bottoms. We will incorporate pressure point work, impact, and verbal degradation that are specific to trampling. This class is designed to be hands-on, so please come with your practice/partner, and a towel/sheet/yoga mat. Please be rested, fed, hydrated, and free of any substances that could negatively impact your balance. This class is for all bodies, so please contact b0ihazard, and we will work hard to try to make any accommodations for you. Bios: b0ihazard (Louis) is a polyamorous, queer trans man, a sadomasochist, and a proud switch. He's been in the public BDSM scene since 2011. He’s been a (head) DM, a volunteer, and an organizer at parties in NYC and beyond. He’s brought kink education to folks all over the East Coast, specializing in sadistic touch where one’s body is the implement of pain. Outside of kink, he’s a witch, a lover of spreadsheets, a writer of smut, and plays a ton of Dungeons and Dragons. _Scout_The_Pup (he/they) is a demisexual, switchy, rope-loving nerd. He loves eating pancakes with Maple syrup and has graced New York City and Philadelphia with his baked goods. He can normally be found in the kitchen making something marvelous, at the computer playing a violent video game, at the boffer LARP as one of his many characters, or hanging out with b0ihazard, sometimes under his boot.
