Dark Moon Rising: A Pagan BDSM Campout
Friday September 23th to Sunday September 25th 2011

Dark Moon Rising is a 3-day camping event dedicated to Neo-Pagans who practice BDSM. We will explore the blending of Neo-Pagan religious rites, ordeal sexuality, and sacred power exchange. There will be workshops on energy play, dark sex magick, Pagan spiritual paths of dominance and submission, sacred body modification, and more. This event is open to anyone over 18 years old who has an interest in these topics. (If you found this site when looking for information about the book called "Dark Moon Rising" by Raven Kaldera, it is here.)

This is a camping event, held at Cauldron Farm in Hubbardston, MA. Please bring your own tent, camping equipment, enough food for the weekend, warm clothing, sensible shoes, a flashlight, and bug repellent, as well as any toys you see fit for playing around a campfire. Please keep in mind this is an educational event; there will be time for play, but play partners will not be provided. This is not a BDSM singles mixer.

Admission is $25 if you preregister online by September 2nd and $30 (cash only) at the door. Attendees may arrive any time between noon and 11pm on Friday night, and all camping gear must be cleared out by 3pm on Sunday. For more information about this event, contact event coordinator, Ruth (fetish666@gmail.com, or Ravens_bitch on Fetlife.com). Information about the event location is available on the Cauldron Farm website.

PLEASE READ THIS: All Ordeals private or public must be cleared in advance with either Ruth or Raven.

A discussion group has been started on Fetlife for event attendees to contact each other. The name of the group is Dark Moon Rising attendees, and it can be found here once you have logged in to Fetlife.

Information on workshops and presenters is still under development.

The workshop schedule will be available at a later time here.

Cold weather camping tips are available here.
