Morning Yoga
Friday June 19, 2026 7:30am - 8:30am CDT
Begin BASH with a grounding Vinyasa Yoga flow before the start of a busy conference day! Lucia (RYT-200) invites attendees to find mindfulness and full-body awareness in this approximately hour-long flow. We’ll begin with seated breath work, with breathing exercises attendees can use to return to a moment of calm throughout the rest of BASH. Then, enjoy a beginner-friendly flow to gently wake up and build heat in your body, and to prepare yourself for a day of standing, walking, note-taking, and playing. We’ll sink into an extra-long final resting pose to calm your nervous system and leave you feeling ready for the day ahead. 

Beginner yogis are highly encouraged to attend! No prior yoga experience necessary. 

BYO mat and props (blocks, blankets, etc.). 

Doors open at 7 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 7:15 a.m. to find a spot and set up your mat.

BDSM and the Law 2026
Saturday June 20, 2026 9:00pm - 10:30pm CDT
A year has passed since Lady Steele has spoken at the GWNN bash about how what it is that we do affects us legally. What has changed? What has remained the same? What legal dangers are inherent to what it is we do? How can you prepare yourself for the worst case scenario?


Come find out about these topics and more when Lady Steele presents BDSM and the Law, which will include details about the National Coalition of Sexual Freedom's Consent Counts initiative, a 4th Amendment rights redux, and info on how to handle ICE for yourself and your neighbors.


As always her trusty legal researcher, Master Meta, will be there to help facilitate the discussion. Questions about this topic are always welcome and encouraged. Come curious and leave satisfied!

Social on the Spectrum
Saturday June 20, 2026 9:00pm - 10:30pm CDT
This relaxed, low-pressure social is designed specifically for kink conference attendees on the autism spectrum and those who love and support them. Join us for an autism-affirming space that prioritizes clear communication, consent, and sensory awareness.


The mixer will offer a calmer environment than typical socials, with flexible seating, optional conversation prompts, and permission to engage at your own pace — whether that means chatting, listening, or simply sharing space. No expectations, no forced interaction.


This gathering celebrates neurodiversity in kink and provides an opportunity to connect with others who understand autistic experiences, interests, and communication styles. Allies and partners are welcome, provided they respect the purpose of the space.


Come build community, make connections, or just exist comfortably among fellow kinksters who get it — exactly as you are.
