San Jose Center for Spiritual Living
1195 Clark Street San Jose, CA
RSVP on the Facebook event http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=119263024787904 or just COME! Everybody welcome!
Invitation from Mary: Each of you has the ability to be extraordinary and achieve whatever you set out to achieve. Women are hearing the whispers of their heart grow louder and asking them to step up and step out and use their gifts, talents and voices for something much greater than themselves. The power that resides in one woman is great; the power that resides in women united is immeasurable. The time has come for us to step into our greatness, our power, our purpose and to birth a new way of being. And women together can create a world of compassion, love and power not yet seen on this planet. It’s not only possible…it’s necessary.
Every woman is coded with a “greatness gene” and this event will support all of you in discovering, owning and unleashing this greatness. What is within YOU that is waiting to be born? In this seminar you will discover what one woman can BE when that woman is YOU.

Fun with Military Protocol Friday, Aug 27, 2010 (date changed from our usual 3rd Friday) www.theexiles.org for more info Ever wondered where some of those great Leather traditions came from? Want to know the “correct” way to present club colors? How about having fun with formations and formal “positions”? This class will answer those questions, plus! We will discuss what military protocol is, the place of rank and hierarchy in the military and beyond, and how this can be used in BDSM and the leather scene. We will also talk about (and practice) the etiquette of receiving lines and dealing with foreign dignitaries. If you like formality or uniforms (or looking at those in uniforms), you will surely enjoy this evening. Come ready to actively participate and have lots of fun!
About the Presenter:
Jody (Northwest slave 2010) is the property of her Mistress, Liza, and is bound to Liza for life. Jody came out as a leather dyke and a slave in 1980 in Los Angeles, and shortly thereafter founded Leather and Lace, a support and social group for woman to woman BD/DS/SM and served in most of the officer positions of that organization until 1993. Before founding Leather and Lace, Jody was in the US Air Force (and, before that, in the Arizona Wing of Civil Air Patrol) and trained Drill Teams and Color Guards. For much of her 30 years as a leather dyke, Jody has been teaching classes on a variety of topics covering slavery, the Master/slave dynamic, military protocol, and safety.
Jody was a Judge for the 1990 International Ms. Leather contest and has also served as a judge for local leather contests. In 1993, she produced “This is Leather”, educating and entertaining more than 2000 leather and non-leather folk during the Christopher Street West Festival in Los Angeles. More recently, Jody has been active on the steering committee for Leather Levi Weekend, serving as the Events Chair from 2007-2009 and now as the Secretary of LLW. Jody is a proud member of the Exiles, three local chapters of Masters and slaves Together, and the Bears of San Francisco. Along with Liza and a group of friends, Jody produces the Ms. San Francisco Leather contest. Program Meeting Info

Howto spot us? Look for me — I’ll be wearing an embarrassingly purple”Hamtaro” backpack (with a cartoon hamster design on the back).
Thisis the munch that isn’t munchable. There are no snacks, no caffeinatedbeverages, no inquisitive waitstaff. It isn’t even a potluck! That’sright — no food!
“What the heck kind of munch is that?” you might ask.
It isn’t a munch at all — but it _is_ a social gathering for kinky people.
Thepurpose of this event is to nourish our bodies in a different way.Let’s take a walk together. We’ll chat, get some fresh air and stretchour legs a bit. And during the time we spend together, we’ll share agood time without adding calories.
No special attire is required (although comfortable walking shoes are recommended). Bring a water bottle if you like.
This is just a gentle evening walk intended for any and all fitness levels.
Anyonecan do it! We will NOT be jogging or speed-walking, and there areplenty of benches every few feet for those who would like to take abreak and just enjoy the sunset. This is a very small park. No one willbe left behind. Even if you are new to walking, you are welcome andencouraged to join us!
(Common Sense Reminder: This is a gentlewalk in the park. However, please check with your health careprofessional before beginning any new exercise program that mayincrease your usual level of activity.)
MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT:
Thisevent is named after a sweet lady who is no longer with us. Her namewas Dee and through no fault of her own she was dealt a ratherdifficult hand in life physically. This event is dedicated to hermemory and created in the hope that just by taking a walk together nowand then, we might all stick around on this big blue marble of a planetjust a little bit longer.
I selected Bestor Park for a fewimportant reasons. First, it is convenient for me, so I will moreeasily be there when I say I will be there. It is small, cheerful, hasplenty of seating and has both an outer footpath and a shorter innerfootpath (with benches every few feet). The small size means it isn’tfull of racing skateboarders or joggers for us to dodge. It also makesit more manageable for someone with a low level of fitness to make itaround the path of their choice at least once. Parking is free alongthe street.
A few photos from the park: events.mercurynews.com/san-jose-ca/venues/show/571340-bestor-art-park and www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMJ6B
Hope to see you there!
Warmly, Margaret aka KitNBoots
