Master Arach
will be presenting our OCLA Program in October 2007 on:
Singletail BasicsCome and learn how to handle a small single tail whip, without taking your eye out or ear off, let alone do damage to your bottom ?. Master Arach will introduce and cover basic whip information including the types of whips, the care of whips, safety concerns, how to crack a whip, and techniques for developing accuracy. No experience required. Loaner whips will be available!
Arach has been involved in the BDSM scene and lifestyle for nearly twenty years. Shortly after reading "Screw the Roses" he was honored to meet Robert Dante and began a mentoring relationship that lasted until Robert moved from California. After learning the art of Singletails from Mr.Dante, the two began a continuing singletail class in parks around the Southern California area, finally settling into a weekly meeting on the grounds of Pierce College until 2005. Arach still teaches people how to handle singletails at the Pierce College Farm Walk yearly. He has partnered with Bullwhip and Sir Mense at Threshold to hold their single tail class monthly at the Threshold club house.
What is OCLA?
OCLA is an educational organization and information source for the leather, SM and fetish community in Orange County and surrounding areas of Southern California.
The group is open to adults over 18 years old, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Learn safe, sane and consensual SM practices. Advance your skills and knowledge. Meet other people who share your interests. Hear from noted authorities in the field of SM.
Orange Coast Leather Assembly does not require membership. We are an assembly of adults -- men and women, gay and straight, absolute novice to skilled experts -- who socialize and learn from each other.
I'm here on myspace to network with leatherfolk around the country and to be a resource for newcomers of all genders and orientations who are seeking BDSM and/or Leather information and education.
