Hello, Tumblr! Initial Info, Getting Started...
Hello everyone! So, first things first, who are we, right?
We are a group that will be holding presentation and discussion style events around the topic of erotic hypnosis and hypnokink. Ideally, there’ll also be time for attendees to practice hypnosis for a bit, as well, within a safe environment.
At this time, we plan to be entirely based around education and community, so while coming out to events of ours may help you meet others and things may happen naturally, I will emphasize that the purpose of our events is not helping people meet future partners. We do, however, hope that the environment that we seek to foster is one with feelings of safety, comfort, and community.
We have the first few sessions planned for while things get ramped up, pending venue limitations, but after that will all depend on feedback and attendees that come out!
While we seek out a venue, we are still writing up general event rules that will allow for the kind of environment we wish to have. These will not be completed nor posted until after a venue is picked out with certainty... after all, once we have a place to do our thing, we’ll have to keep that venue happy with us for repeat visits, so we might have to tweak rules to suit a venue, and we don’t want to be changing up rules on you multiple times before event #1, you know?
So, what do we still need?
Still seeking a venue location. For starting out, seeking anywhere from/within Charlotte, NC, down to Rock Hill, SC, that will be able to sit at least up to 20 people (good to be able to grow out!) and where we can all feel comfortable talking eroticism and kink (i.e. private room or nonjudgmental space). We have a couple of leads, but nothing concrete, yet. If you know of a potential location that fits this criteria, let us know, whether via IM, ask, or otherwise (we will not publicly post up any responses to this request).
Building awareness. Have a friend in our local area that you know is into erotic hypnosis and would love there to be a group near them? Point them in our direction! Those first couple of events after we have a venue will only be aided by having more people at this stage, as will having more local people seeking our success.
Suggestions for advertising spaces. We’re here and on FetLife right now (details below). I’ll be posting up on HypWatch. Are there other spaces that would be beneficial to post on? Which ones are only for event ads, and which ones are also for generating general awareness and assistance? Let us know your thoughts!
Potential attendee direction. Are you considering coming out to these? Have something particular you’d like to learn or help figuring out regarding erotic hypnosis or kink with hypnosis? Maybe you have an idea or a direction you’d like this fledgling group to go with? Let us know! Disclaimer that we may not follow all given suggestions (again, we won’t be a place for personals ads, for example), but we do want to hear from you so we can take you into account while we’re at our most-malleable, so to speak...
At this time, you can also find us on FetLife, group name Hypnokink in the Carolinas, and we will post up events in that group, as well as advertise them here. So, looking to come out to our events and get progress updates? Join our group on FetLife as well as following here for maximum keeping up-to-date!
Per the bullet point above, we’ll work with additional promotional spaces as we get both awareness and time to do so.
As of the time of this post, this group is being formed by @amhypnotic and @thementalconfetti, and for the time being, you can assume that one, or both of them if there are no issues, will see messages that go through this blog.
