Sponsors
Good morning to all who read this event protocol. Here is the protocol that will be used from 25 August from 11 am to 27 August until 08 pm in Sanctuary.
From the entrance there will be a door control for the access to the enclosure where they will have to identify themselves with their legal documents in accordance with their tickets and they will be given the corresponding bracelets depending on the stay or ticket purchased. Attendees who purchase a camping or glamping area will be able to access their areas in order to set up what will be their space for those three days. The space will have a catering team where allergies, intolerances or special diets will be taken into account, as well as vegan dishes to try that everyone can enjoy a team of internationally recognized kitchen and dining room with many years of experience behind them, as the place chosen for this festival has been dedicated for many decades to the restoration and organization of events of different kinds. The event will have private security and controllers from an external company contracted for the event and according to capacity, who will ensure the smooth running of the event and are prepared for the functions of this type of festival. The camping area or campers will have extra surveillance for the peace of mind of those staying in that area and controlling access to it only to those who hired that area. The Glamping area, being a private company's area, will have an additional security filter, so that only those with luxury tents will be able to access the delimited area.
Violet Point
Managed by a group of people trained and instructed to do so and who have the support of the organisation, it attends, informs and helps victims of any type of aggression. The point will be in a place prepared so that the victim can feel supported and helped in case something should happen and thus be able to act with greater speed and forcefulness.
Orange Point
This place will be visible and will be informed at the entrance of its existence as with the "Violet Point". The orange point will have several occupations and will be the direct contact with the organisation and with the members of security and from there it will proceed to notify the appropriate person depending on the event, from loss or recovery of documents, keys to the notice of any malpractice or if someone could be causing discomfort to the community, by attending this space and communicating it the orange protocol is activated and will be solved as quickly as possible.
The safety protocol for all BDSM and non-BDSM practices will be as follows SSC. SSC – Safe, Sane, and Consensual.
It focuses on the common sense of safety and the consent of the person they dominate, if the organisation considers that any practice does not comply with this protocol, they will proceed to stop it with discretion but with forcefulness, as the safety of all is the maximum for all the team that work at Sanctuary. RACK, RACSA, PRICK, CCC will not be allowed during the event. We respect the other ways of living and practising of each individual or couple, but as it is a public event with a large number of people, only the aforementioned SSC will be allowed. It will not be a hard or medium protocol event, we let conversations and other acts flow as naturally as they should. However, in private circles and personal chats, the limits of protocol can be raised as desired by the parties. Basic things, we are a BDSM event, so we ask for respect to one of the symbols that our organization deserves, THE NECKLACE, let's give it the place it deserves. Wearing a collar in BDSM is a sign of surrender and belonging to someone, whether it is a sign of consideration, training, slavery or submission. Therefore, let's respect this and not use collars as an accessory or decoration. Being a lax protocol, only one thing will be clear, honour and respect, to roles, to games, to practices, to ways of behaviour of others or your own, do not judge and you will not be judged. During the three days, we will enjoy workshops, masterclasses and performances.
DRESS CODE DE SANCTUARY 23 FEST
Good morning to everyone who reads this article about the dress code for the festival that will take place from 25th to 27th August 2023 in the province of Tarragona. During the duration of the festival, Dress Code BDSM will not be required, we are in the middle of August, in the middle of a natural space, with terraces, swimming pools, campsites and a relaxed atmosphere. There will only be some small but basic rules of social behaviour. Nudism will be allowed in the swimming pool without any problem, but textiles are not excluded, as we are not a naturist area. When accessing the terraces to have a "refreshment", as in naturist places, cover the parts that have access to the furniture for hygiene reasons. When entering a talk in Agora Hall, Dungeons Circus or Tea Room, cover your body out of respect for the speaker and the space, do not enter naked or in bathing clothes. In the Shibari Garden, you can wear the clothes necessary for the practice and the classes given by the riggers. Comfortable clothes, no underwired bras, no bracelets, rings or necklaces that may be uncomfortable when tying up. And now comes the good stuff...
PARTY FETISH DEMONS
Saturday 26th from 11pm at Dungeon Circus
Entry is forbidden to streetwear of any kind, so-called “total black” included Consequently, you have two options: Gala wear – meaning what you’d wear for an Opera premiere, a red carpet event or an embassy dinner. Your office suit won’t cut it. or (our suggested solution) Fetish, BDSM, erotic fantasy, sexy wear – Fetish isn’t just stiletto heels and latex dresses: they are indeed awesome, but there are many other ways to express your sensuality and uniqueness with your looks. You only need to dare, show off, stand out. Some perfect looks for this occasion are: Leather, Latex, PVC, Uniform, Goth, Dark, Burlesque, Full bondage, Zentai, Bizarre, Body art, Kinky medical, Berlin kabaret, Boudoir, Sexy steampunk…
Go for unusual materials
Latex, leather, Pvc, metal… why limit yourself to everyday textiles when there are so many other opportunities to let your sensuality shine
Elegance is paramount
You can be sexy, intriguing and even obscene without looking shabby. In grave emergencies, try to fetishize a great gala dress… Slovenliness will be bounced!
Don’t be shy
Sanctuary is a BDSM party: showing a little more skin won’t scandalize anyone.
Underwear and lingerie are not fetish
Underwear is not an accepted dress code (no, not even if it is black).
There are uniforms and uniforms
Are you aiming for a military or uniform look? No problem… but it must be a fetish uniform. If everyone used a common camo suit or uniform we’d look like a boot camp, not an BDSM party! In a climate of mutual respect, it is forbidden to use any symbol of military or political organizations: should they be part of your outfit, you are kindly requested to remove them before entry – or we’ll be bound to deny access. Thank you for your cooperation!
This is not a masked ball
Invent your own character with an original, exciting, adorable, unique, sensual look… But don’t mistake Sanctuary for a masked ball!
Mind the details
The best outfit ever is meaningless if you destroy it with arousal-shattering details. Sneakers, retirement home underwear or similar horrors will stop you at the door.
Excuses are useless
Rules are there to be respected by everyone. Making up excuses won’t get you in, and especially: “I am here by chance, I live far from here and I had no outfit with me” “But I’m wearing black” and “Other parties let me in like this” “You can make an exception just for me” and “But this was ok enough for you in the past” “I’m friends with the organization / the owner of the place” “I just want to peek in a little to see if my friend is already in”
PROTOCOL BY ZONES
DUNGEON CIRCUS
In the Dungeon Circus will be the best dungeons of the national scene and two guests from Italy and Portugal. Each dungeon will have a room manager, to use any of the objects in them, you will have to communicate to the person in charge and make proper use, anyone who does not respect these objects may be expelled from the place. The public is not allowed to access the stage, unless it is accepted by whoever is on stage at that moment as a performer or workshop leader.SHIBARI GARDEN
In the ropes area, the performance or the talk on stage will be respected at all times, showing respect for the good dynamics of the performance. No persons other than artists or workshop participants may access the stage. No glassware or drinks may be brought into the area and no suspensions by people outside the staff are allowed, for safety reasons.TEA ROOM
When there are talks, the tone of the conversation in the area will be lowered out of respect for the speaker, turns of speech will be respected and the smooth running of each talk will not be interrupted.AGORA HALL
In this space the larger talks and round tables will take place. If there is a talk, please respect it in silence and if you wish to participate or question doubts, please do so with respect and raising your hand.POOL ZONE
Games will not be allowed inside the pool, it will be controlled and the timetable will be the same as the duration of each day's activities, after which it will be closed for the corresponding water treatment.PHOTOS
It will be our special night at Sanctuary and the play party so... we are going to give it the magic it deserves and the protocol will change during the time of the party. We will keep a medium "Medium BDSM Protocol" basic things like respecting the collar, not interacting with collared submissives without the permission of the Master and treating any participant of the event with respect. Otherwise enjoy the performances and the music, as well as the hospitality of the Dungeons Circus dungeons.
RESPECT
To the participants, to the environment, because we are lucky to be in a place full of nature, respect for play scenes, for the spaces of the collaborators... etc. We are an adult society, a community that together we are going to show that feeling, playing and loving in a different way is just one more detail in our lives, which does not influence our civic and empathic behaviour. Treat others as you would like to be treated and let's have fun in a unique event where we will all remember this weekend as one of the most special ever. Thank you all for reading our protocol and for sticking to it. Sanctuary 23 Worldwide Fest

Master Cuoio y Cándido Nero Shibari Garden
I began my approach to the world of BDSM, like everyone else, with curiosity, but when I realised that I was truly fascinated by it I began a quest for knowledge that has never ended nor faded, and which fits well with my dominant and decidedly sadistic nature. I had my first approach to the BDSM community in 2015, in the same year I founded the BDSM ARTISAN BOTTEGA in which, to this day, I still create bdsm equipment and accessories. In 2019 I embarked on my journey into the world of shibari, my great love, with my first lesson on 9 November with Versus Ropes with whom, in addition to the master/pupil path, a true and sincere friendship was gradually born. a true and sincere friendship was slowly born, as well as leading me to be his second in the lessons we organise here in Naples with him. we organise here in Naples with him the idea of a new community was born and the play party that today I organise. In addition to studying Shibari, I became passionate about the various practices of verberation, in particular the use of single tail whips, but not only that, I discovered a great passion for mummification, the fire play, knife play, wax play and many other practices. The strong desire for a community based on values such as fairness, honesty, safety and respect has led to the birth of "KINKY CAMPANIA", which has given a decisive turn to the BDSM scene in Campania. From there it was all exponential growth because, as I always say, if you do well you can only but grow! In fact, the Munch started

Fire Play
Night fireworks performance
I discovered my nature as a sadistic Dominant at a young age and by pure chance at the age of 18 I discovered the existence of this world (which was actually very small in those days, especially Sicily where I was born and lived until my thirties), I immediately became passionate about Impactplay and tortureplay. Over the years, often won over by my innate curiosity, I became passionate about other practices that I have been able to study and deepen, such as clinical, knifeplay and breathplay. In my thirties, I moved to Rome and began to frequent communities and travel around Italy to attend events such as workshops and play parties. My hunger for knowledge and to approach practices that I did not know, led me to learn FirePlay, which I immediately became passionate about, also satisfying my exhibitionist streak. Over time I refine my techniques and use of tools until become a fire performer at various events. To date I frequent several Italian venues, but mainly the Roman and Neapolitan scene where I am part of the staff and resident performer of FirePlay at Vulkania as well as holding workshops both of Fire Play and Breath Play and round tables on the physiology of pain.

Breakfast with Jordi Clotas Tea Room
Let's open up the Partnership
We couldn't be happier to have in our team and in our friends another Sanctuary Ambassador, Mr Jordi Clotas, a privileged mind and a multifaceted life. A privileged spectator, four couples, seven models to choose from and an idea under suspicion: traditional monogamy. An invitation to rethink s3xo-affective relationships, where concepts such as fidelity, exclusivity and the couple seem outdated and cry out for a revolution. "Shall we open up the couple?" is a question that floats, more than ever, in the air, as a solution to the crisis of our western sexuality. Do you dare to question your relationship and try a radical change? This is the prologue of the new book by one of our most relevant ambassadors in Spain and with a great professional career. Graduate in Philosophy, postgraduate in Sexology and nude photographer. Linked through different projects to the always active life of Barcelona's eroticism. From the experience gained in his years as a public relations and couples counsellor in two swinger clubs in the Catalan capital, reviewing the philosophy of the liberal environment from the emotional management and social intelligence, he has written books such as "Swinger Code" (2017), the books in reversible format Positive Attitudes / Negative Attitudes (2013), War of Sexes? / (2014), Positive Emotions / Negative Emotions (2015), and the small-format works, The Nature Book of Happiness (2013), The Nature Book of Sense of Humour (2013), Living with Serenity (2016) and Flowing with Life (2016). He is a radio talk show host, film show host, photographer and speaker at SEB and Erostreet and also a film scriptwriter, totally multifaceted, with the aim of being able to give information and vision of eroticism and sexuality, he is one of our ambassadors S3XFECTIVE is Sanctuary 2023 with workshops, photographs and his great company and support. But we end as we started, because nothing better than after a long time, to enjoy his new creation, his latest book "WE OPEN THE COUPLE?"

Versus Ropes y Red Cherry Dongeun Circus
Versus & Shibari In December 2016, I attended my first Shibari class in Naples. The cases of life have wanted me to move to Rome in April 2017 for work-related matters, and from then on my real learning journey began. Right from the start, I was lucky enough to meet Red Cherry, my life partner and currently main bunny, with whom I found an with whom I immediately got on the same wavelength. My commitment to study has been constant and intense: my hunger for learning has led me to participate in several Workshops and Masterclasses with various masters, including, in chronological order, Bob Ropemarks, Master Vito, Tessin, Bingo Shigonawa, Gestalta and Osaka Dan, Kissmedeadlydoll, Fred Rx and Hajime Kinoko. In addition, I am always thrilled to receive advice from riggers I respect or consider more experienced than me. 2018 was a fundamental year of change: I started performing and at the end of the year I become resident rigger at the Revolution party. I inaugurated the Naples branch of the Shibari school. In November '19 the "Rope Class" and Revolution Party project started with lessons in Naples,Rome and Padua. A Napoli ho avuto modo di conoscere Master Cuoio con il quale è nata non solo un’ amicizia ed un percorso nello shibari essendo lui un mio allievo, ma avendo le stesse vedute e valori, abbiamo messo pian piano le basi per una nuova realtà in Campania, facendo nascere insieme “KINKY CAMPANIA” ed il playparty “VULKANIA” .Sono contento di poter affermare che il mio percorso di crescita è tutt’altro che concluso, e la mia fame di conoscenza è rimasta invariata.

Breakfast with Jordi Clotas Tea Room
Let's open up the Partnership
We couldn't be happier to have in our team and in our friends another Sanctuary Ambassador, Mr Jordi Clotas, a privileged mind and a multifaceted life. A privileged spectator, four couples, seven models to choose from and an idea under suspicion: traditional monogamy. An invitation to rethink s3xo-affective relationships, where concepts such as fidelity, exclusivity and the couple seem outdated and cry out for a revolution. "Shall we open up the couple?" is a question that floats, more than ever, in the air, as a solution to the crisis of our western sexuality. Do you dare to question your relationship and try a radical change? This is the prologue of the new book by one of our most relevant ambassadors in Spain and with a great professional career. Graduate in Philosophy, postgraduate in Sexology and nude photographer. Linked through different projects to the always active life of Barcelona's eroticism. From the experience gained in his years as a public relations and couples counsellor in two swinger clubs in the Catalan capital, reviewing the philosophy of the liberal environment from the emotional management and social intelligence, he has written books such as "Swinger Code" (2017), the books in reversible format Positive Attitudes / Negative Attitudes (2013), War of Sexes? / (2014), Positive Emotions / Negative Emotions (2015), and the small-format works, The Nature Book of Happiness (2013), The Nature Book of Sense of Humour (2013), Living with Serenity (2016) and Flowing with Life (2016). He is a radio talk show host, film show host, photographer and speaker at SEB and Erostreet and also a film scriptwriter, totally multifaceted, with the aim of being able to give information and vision of eroticism and sexuality, he is one of our ambassadors S3XFECTIVE is Sanctuary 2023 with workshops, photographs and his great company and support. But we end as we started, because nothing better than after a long time, to enjoy his new creation, his latest book "WE OPEN THE COUPLE?" A novel that invites you to rethink s3xo-affective relationships. Perhaps Sanctuary is the ideal place for this purpose.

Versus Ropes y Red Cherry Dongeun Circus
Versus & Shibari In December 2016, I attended my first Shibari class in Naples. The cases of life have wanted me to move to Rome in April 2017 for work-related matters, and from then on my real learning journey began. Right from the start, I was lucky enough to meet Red Cherry, my life partner and currently main bunny, with whom I found an with whom I immediately got on the same wavelength. My commitment to study has been constant and intense: my hunger for learning has led me to participate in several Workshops and Masterclasses with various masters, including, in chronological order, Bob Ropemarks, Master Vito, Tessin, Bingo Shigonawa, Gestalta and Osaka Dan, Kissmedeadlydoll, Fred Rx and Hajime Kinoko. In addition, I am always thrilled to receive advice from riggers I respect or consider more experienced than me. 2018 was a fundamental year of change: I started performing and at the end of the year I become resident rigger at the Revolution party. I inaugurated the Naples branch of the Shibari school. In November '19 the "Rope Class" and Revolution Party project started with lessons in Naples,Rome and Padua. A Napoli ho avuto modo di conoscere Master Cuoio con il quale è nata non solo un’ amicizia ed un percorso nello shibari essendo lui un mio allievo, ma avendo le stesse vedute e valori, abbiamo messo pian piano le basi per una nuova realtà in Campania, facendo nascere insieme “KINKY CAMPANIA” ed il playparty “VULKANIA” .Sono contento di poter affermare che il mio percorso di crescita è tutt’altro che concluso, e la mia fame di conoscenza è rimasta invariata.

Vermout Whore Goddesses Tea Room
Finally we can meet the Putas Diosas a year after the creation of a magical space of feminine sorority. The magic of the feminine will meet at Sanctuary on Sunday 27th at 12 noon in the Tea Room to have a "vermouth" or coffee for the hangover from Saturday's party. A space for those of us who have been shields and sisters for a year now, reserved for cis and non cis women, with no roles, no more than sharing the energy that brought us together last year and to be able to include more beautiful women in the group this year. We are looking forward to meet again, to embrace each other with hugs full of energy and that magic that is created with the strength of the Goddesses Whores. "I am your shield, you are mine sister".
