A private mini hypno retreat hosted by Maxxxed and MightyOsiris at their secluded home in the piney woods of the Sierra foothills Presidents' Day weekend (Feb 19-21) 2022, celebrating a visit by The Dominicator (www.dominicator.com) from Florida, also known as Master Dominic; you may have seen his comedy stage hypnosis performance at Hypnocon 2021 (and be sure to check out his YouTube channel).
The program for this event is still being decided. Because it's a small event, we want to accommodate the attendees' preferences as much as possible. To facilitate this, we've got a short Google Forms survey to find out what the people want. Please complete the survey if you're interested in coming (or to let us know if you're not); it's also an opportunity to get acquainted with the other attendees, and to view the list of invitees to help you make up your mind about coming! You can control how much of your survey response gets shared.
Results for survey responders so far who've agreed to share with other survey responders are ready (in spreadsheet form) and will be shared with all survey responders.
Results for survey responders so far who've agreed to share with all invitees are also ready, in spreadsheet form. However, Google Sheets only lets me restrict access if I have the email address of the folks I'm sharing with. So, if you want to be able to view those results without completing the survey, I still need your email address; send it to me at anubis@pobox.com.
The following Recon IDs have completed the survey; those in bold have said they're definitely coming, and the italicized ones are bringing a +1:
SigmaOne, MightyOsiris (me), Fillimaris, sluttyhypnosub, luckiguy, BubblegumBDSM, PhilipMackintosh, ToServeMan.
If you are a +1, please also fill out the survey.
Please note: This is a private, invitation-only event. Please don't post the URLs for this page, the survey, or survey results to your Recon profile or any other widely viewable place online. We can't accommodate a lot of people. Thank you for your consideration!
"Raven's Roost" is a cozy biggish house sheltered among pine trees and remote from neighbors at the end of a road in rural Amador County, California. Amador is home to vineyards and wineries, art galleries and studios... and one noteworthy bondage playroom (see slideshow above).
By car, Raven's Roost is 90 minutes from Lake Tahoe and Sacramento International Airport and less than 3 hours from the SF Bay Area; see below for options for getting here.
Master Dominic, also known as The Dominicator, is a recreational/erotic and sports hypnotist practicing in Florida. He is excited to come out!
Master Dominic earned a personal training certification from ACE and a hypnotherapy certification from Hypnosis Motivation Institute in 2017, and came to Florida to become a sports hypnotist. Prior to this, he received two bachelor's degrees in Philosophy in Psychology with minors in Mathematics and Physics from Louisiana State University on a TOPS scholarship. He then earned a doctoral degree for Computer Science prior to moving to start his practice as a sports hypnotist.
Since beginning his combined personal training and sports hypnosis practice, Dr. DiMico has performed hundreds of hypnosis sessions, and led hundreds of dudes into a better state of fitness.
His recreational hypnosis YouTube channel has subscribers in the thousands and his videos have received views in the hundreds of thousands, likes in the thousands, and watch-hours in the tens of thousands. Drawing on his expertise in computer science, he writes his own software (held on his GitHub) to generate the enticing and engrossing animations for his videos, and otherwise assist in his practice.
His Quora answers on hypnosis are well-informed, accessible, and articulate, and have received views in the hundreds of thousands. He is sometimes consulted by other hypnotists and licensed mental health practitioners. He was a featured performer at 2021's HypnoCon in San Francisco, presenting a well-received comedy stage hypnosis performance.
He's approachable, personable, likeable, and attractive, and he loves to hypnotize and dominate other dudes! If you want to know more about his interests, check out the channel and the FAQ on his page.
Dave (MightyOsiris on Recon) and Rich (Maxxxed) have been together 6 years.
Dave is an engineering manager for a Silicon Valley biotech startup and Rich has a successful mobile food business.
They have a cat (named Eartha), a Jack Dempsey fish (named Jack D. Fish), and a housemate (named Dylan). Don't worry, he's cool. Please let us know if you have a cat allergy and we will arrange alternative accommodations for Eartha.
Dave and Rich will be supplying crash space and meals. (The crash space will be mostly couches and air mattresses; the food will be low-impact stuff like deli trays, crudites, and so on. We will accommodate dietary restrictions and food sensitivities; please let us know your needs.)
Or you can avail yourself of the nearest hotel (10 miles away at Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort) and area restaurants; there is a decent selection of restaurants in Pioneer, neighboring Pine Grove, and Jackson, including several at the Rancheria. (One possible event proposed in the survey is a group dinner out.) If there is enough interest in rooming at the Rancheria hotel, we'll try to get a group rate on a block of rooms.
+1's are welcome, but it's best if they too have an interest in hypnosis. (If they're kinky but not for hypnosis, the playroom might be a suitable diversion while the rest of us are doing hypno stuff. Also, we offer free WiFi.)
The nearest major airport is Sacramento (SMF). Dave will be running a shuttle service Thursday evening and Friday morning, with the schedule adjusted to fit arrival times. (Dave's car can carry him plus 4 passengers.) If you prefer more freedom of movement, SMF offers all major car rental chains.
By car, take Highway 88 NE from Stockton or SW from Lake Tahoe; we're about halfway in between. (Set your navigation software for Raven Road, Pioneer CA 95666, and once you're on Raven go all the way to the end. When the pavement ends, fork left; we are the very last house. If you can keep going, you ain't here yet.) Look for the leather pride flag outside the front door! We will try to coordinate ride sharing for those coming from the Bay Area; make the drive more fun by traveling together!
