Description

Welcome Explorers!

Join us for a hotel takeover weekend in November. Meet and socialize with kinksters while immersing yourself for an entire weekend of exploration and education. From the moment you pass through the registration curtains, till it is time to checkout… the hotel is ours.

During Exploration Into Kink, or EiK, you can enjoy our outstanding educational classes, the vendor bazaar, BeBe’s cigar social, Exploration Emporium, clothing optional indoor swimming pool, charity auction, Friday and Saturday night play parties, midnight buffets, and much more!

Our goal is to build and grow the kink community through a weekend focused on consent, diversity, education, exploration, inclusivity, and integrity

A detailed Schedule of Classes & Activities, presenter & educator biographies, detailed class descriptions; event activities and a vendor list will be posted at www.explorationintokink.com/

Now onto the less exciting stuff you want to know...

Free event parking.

State or Federal ID will be verified at time of check-in and consent forms signed. Lost your email with the code? We still will have you covered.

HOST HOTEL is sold out.

Please do not attempt to contact the event hotel to reserve a room on your own.

We split the fees with you. Cancellation with 100% refund (except for credit card fees) is allowed up to 30 days prior to the event.

Please note that attendee name is the name you would like on your badge

Rule highlights

Consent is the most important rule of the Exploration Into Kink Event. No coercion of any kind. This is a hassle-free, no-pressure group. Do not harass, coerce, or intimidate anyone to interact with you.

Nudity is allowed in designated areas of the event space and dungeon (like 95% of the hotel to include the pool). Nudity is not allowed when eating at the event restaurant or buffet.

All play must fall within the boundaries of RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink).

No blood sports, water play, or forms of asphyxiation or carotid play; not because there is anything wrong with this if it is your kink, but just because it is too messy for our locale. We categorize blood draw three ways; accidentally, incidentally, or intentionally. Needles and scalpels would normally fall under incidental for this event. Intentionally playing for or with blood… that we do not allow.

Cell phone usage in any place other than space that is specifically designated for phone use is NOT permitted.

Hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies will be at each piece of dungeon equipment and available throughout the venue.

Dungeon furniture is set out to maximize the available space; so, please do not move it without asking a DM first.

The venue does NOT allow firearms to be brought on the premises.
