Countdown – less than 4 weeks left!

fre ,25/06/2010

With only a month to go before the camp begins it is really exciting to realise that there are going to be an amazing week with many interesting participants and a programme that offers multiple possibilities to realx, play and explore – yourself as well as the others…

Here is some highlites so far:

Mollena Williams – International Ms Leather Pride 2010 and BDSM educator will bring us workshops and talks on many interesting topics such as Negotiation for the Hopelessly Shy & the Terribly Awkward, Playing with Strangers: How to get it on at a Con!, Beautiful Intention, Gracious Focus: Bringing Service to Life, The Psychology of Psychological Play. These are only a few of her  regular classes and you can read more about them on her blog The Perverted Negress.

Ingo – created Wotever World in London 2003, and run different events/clubs within this organisation as well as the Queer sexclub Klub Fukk. Klub Fukk is a safe meetingplace including all the different genders and sexualities that unites as Queer. At Klub Fukk Queer Porn is showed and since a few years they show their own films. Made and produced at the club. At Wish Powerexchange Ingo present a workshop and you will have the possibility to see some of them and also create your own if you want to. It is also a great opportunity to get inspiration and advise about the wide world of Wotever!

During the week we will also be joined by a bondage instructor that will litterally show us the ropes – make sure you bring your own if you have them!

Apart from all the possible sexercise you might get into and the making of your own clothes and plesure paraphenalia in the leather workshop under possible guidance from one of Swedens most experienced craftsmen during your stay, there will also be other lesiures available!

An expert on yoga and meditation is participating and have offered to act as an instuctor during the week for those who wish to explor this.

We are bringing two sea kayaks with safety equipment for those who want to feel the seaside from another perspective. There are experienced users present that may coach beginners.

We are also hopefully expecting a massage expert and a makeup artist specialised in extreme designs as well as the daily beautification. That would provide a perfect complement to the photosessions available by renowned fetish photograher Susanne, the artist behind the internet site A Thing for Rubber (http://www.a-thing.se),who will be taking photos of professional studio quality if you want to. If you already are sure that you want to do a photosession it is possible to book it in advance to be sure that you get your prefered timeslot! Send us an e-mail about it at wishutskick@gmail.com.

creatures,forest animals and pagans to dance. We start off the Midsummer

gendermixed party on Midsummer Day – one of the best parties in Stockholm
according to many! This year SLM and Wish have joined forces and arrange
this event together. As always, there is no membership required to this
event, so the whole leathercommunity is invited! The tickets cost 295 SEK
for non-members, while members in SLM and Wish can buy tickets at a

Fira midsommar med Wish torsdagen den 24 juni

Strunta i snapsen och små grodorna och fira in midsommaren med en mytisk
fruktbarhetfest i Club Wishs underjordiska krypta. Växtligheten spirar
genom betongen och ut ur väggarna och vi hoppas på att med trollsk musik
locka ljusskygga naturväsen, skogsdjur, huldror och hedningar till dans.
Vi inleder midsommarriterna med att lilla o håller en föreläsning om
smärtredskap som man kan hitta i naturen och vi har samlat in björkris
och nässlor så att lekfulla varelser kan praktisera sina nya kunskaper
och offervilliga kan erbjuda sina kroppar som midsommarblot.
