The Conclave: A High Protocol D/s Gala

Information Page

The Conclave is not merely a play party; it is a curated temple for the discerning power exchange player, a space where the intricate dance of devotion and command is revered. Here, within a framework of sacred High Protocol, we invite you to shed the mundane and step into the full expression of your D/s dynamic. This is an evening dedicated to the art of power exchange, designed for seasoned practitioners, devoted couples, and solitary seekers who yearn for a connection forged in honor, respect, and profound intensity.

The Experience

Punctuality is paramount, as all attendees must participate in the mandatory consent and negotiation discussion at the beginning of the event. There will be no exceptions.

8:00PM: Doors open for service setup and mandatory consent and negotiation discussion

8:30PM – 10:00PM: High Protocol Hours

10:00PM – 1:00AM: BDSM Play Party – Please use the space as it was intended.

 

  • For the Dominant: Imagine a space where your authority is not just acknowledged, but celebrated. Where every glance is a command, and the very air hums with willing obedience. Witness a symphony of submission tailored for your pleasure. Fulfill your darkest, most refined desires as you are attended to, honored, and revered. This is your court to command.

  • For the Submissive: Imagine the profound peace of release. A world where the weight of choice is lifted, and your only duty is to exist in beauty, service, and surrender. In this hallowed space, your devotion is your highest art. Through codified gestures of respect—the averted gaze, the silent offering of presence, the honorific on your lips—you will unlock new depths of your submissive nature. Let your purpose be service, from the simple elegance of boot-blacking to the ultimate objectification of human furniture.

 The Sacred Protocol

Upon entry, you will declare your role—Dominant or Submissive—with a color-coded name badge, setting the foundation for the evening's interactions. You will have the opportunity to indicate whether you are open to play with others, or attending for play only with a partner. The Conclave operates on a shared understanding of high protocol, creating a seamless environment for all to relax into their roles. This structure is the key that unlocks a deeper headspace, allowing for a more intense and fulfilling power exchange for all.

During High protocol Hours: 8:30PM – 10:00PM Submissives will embrace the beauty of control by:

    • Refraining from speaking unless addressed.

    • Averting their gaze from Dominants.

    • Be willing to provide simple service, such as fetching a drink, sending a message to another Dominant, or grabbing a toy, to all Dominants present

    • Calling all Dominants by an appropriate honorific (Sir, Ma'am, Goddess, etc.).

    • Presenting themselves for inspection or negotiated use, learning to respond to commands such as “Present”, “Kneel”, or “Open”

During High protocol Hours: 8:30PM – 10:00PM Dominants will embrace the beauty of power by:

    • Being the keepers of a respectful, honoring space that is comfortable and consentful for all

      • Respect the chosen honorifics & pronouns of all submissives and honor the negotiation and boundaries of those they interact with.

      • No touching or use a submissive without negotiation first. If a toy is "owned," you may still ask for their Owner's consent, and if a submissive's body part is offered, ask permission to proceed. 

    • Socializing and interacting with other Dominants, including negotiating play more directly between them

    • Bringing their deepest desires and highest code of conduct to ignite the play space
