An Interactive Course Dedicated to Exploring the Core Principles of Leather: Meeting the first Wednesday of every month for one year, starting July 2nd 2025 from 7PM - 10PM EST

Leather Unveiled, Identity Revealed is a special online class series designed for those who seek clarity about what it means to be and identify as “Leather”. This program is meant to encourage participants to reflect on their desired relationship with Leather by examining a different core character trait and corresponding Leather concept. Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss, explore and develop their sense of self within Leather through group reflection exercises and between-class introspective research. There will be a different topic (character trait and Leather concept pair) each month, for a total of 12 months. Drop ins are welcome, but we highly encourage committing to the full year in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of Leather and to identify one’s place within it.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a lecture or history heavy course, although historical and societal references will be offered in order to reflect, discuss and research effectively.
