Carol Queen asked me to let our readers know about this. I'm more than happy to do so. Not only does it sound like an interesting party in an interesting place, but I simply can't imagine saying no to Carol!

We have a silent auction item from a recent Center for Sex & Culture event that we are throwing open for e-list bidding: an admission to the couple's party to La Domaine Esemar in upstate New York, which just seemed too remote for Bay Areans to bid on. If you'd like to bid, just send us an email at mail@sexandculture.org with "auction bid" in the subject line; minimum bid is $20. Bids will close on April 20. You'll be able to send us a check, or pay with Visa, MasterCard, or discover if you're the high bidder. We'll put the winner in touch with Master R so you can schedule your attendance with him.
This is Master R from La Domaine Esemar: the world’s oldest SM traning chateau, located in upstate NY. We would be delighted to offer an invitation to one of our 2008 Couples Parties as part of your Reclaiming Eros auction. It has been said (frequently) that there is no hotter place on earth then a Satyrday night La D Couples Party. Our parties are normally $125 percouple, $175 for an individual, m or f. More info on our web site.
The donation is for either an individual or couple. It covers; the satyrday party, does not cover the overnight stay (most people stay at local motels) but it does cover the sinday brunch. For your/their information, we will advise the winning party as to which of the 2008 parties would be good choices for their attendance, depending on their interests and skill levels.

La Domaine Esemar is unique among contemporary SM training facilities. To begin with, La Domaine is far more than a simple professional dungeon. Esemar is a private home where people can explore their complex sexuality for periods of time ranging from basic, short training sessions to a lifetime's commitment, shared with our remarkable lineage of Mistresses, Masters, and slaves. La Domaine offers insight, guided personal development, and camaraderie to all our clients. Our Mistresses and Masters are among the finest in the world, with personal backgrounds in the most extensive training program one can find today. Because of this, the slaves and Dominants we train are easily recognized by the knowing eye.
Our guests are extraordinary. We are fond of saying that we host the most delicate beginners as well as the most sophisticated players. For many, La Domaine is the first step into a much broader world of sexuality. Others, far more advanced in our persuasion, bring us their many experiences. They add polish and depth to Esemar. Some visit for only hours, some shall be with us for as long as we are privileged to exist. For those who find they have a place in their sexuality to serve as a household member at a great SM training chateau, we offer placements in our personal, non-professional acolyte programs.
In addition, we offer Couples Parties, dungeon rentals, overnight, weekend and week long getaways, workshops, fine food and wine, and other very special events.

Master R is a friend of $pread - I know a few dommes who've trained at La Domaine Esemar and often return there to do sessions. They are lovely people and they run a nice facility - and the get-away B&B aspect of it is nice too.
To have recommendations from both you and Carol says quite a lot, both for La Domaine Esemar and also for Master R!
