They have an excellent quarterly newsletter, and are well known throughout New England as one of our premier organizations. Membership is only $10 (what a deal!) which give you free entry to the Fetish Flea Market in Boston.

"We are a group of leatherfolk and fetish enthusiasts from all over New England - Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine dedicated to identifying the needs of the leather community (or, more accurately, communities) and responding to them, providing educational programs, social opportunities, sponsoring pansexual events, and generally trying to provide networking, structure, visibility and resources, so that if and when threats to our sexual freedom or our community arise, we can respond. We sponsor monthly events, publish a quarterly newsletter called "The Scarlet Leather," run the semi-annual Fetish Fair Fleamarket, and contribute to charitable causes... and we welcome you!"

 

Vermont

BDSM & Spirituality Group of New England (Sadie's Group) Meets in Northern and Middle Vermont

Click here for detailed information on upcoming events

The B-D-S-M & Spirituality Group of New England lives both online through Yahoo for online discussion as well as hosting live meetings. Our meetings have had such luminary guest speakers such as Raven Kaldera, Thomas "Keckler" Lewis, Jennifer Hunter and Mikhael Yowe. Some of our meetings are also lively roundtable discussions of a wide variety of spiritual approaches including Eastern, Judeo-Christian, Earth-Centered, Pagan and many other special interests like Tantra. We welcome people of every spiritual orientation and show respect and care for all religious traditions. Our focus is on how B-D-S-M can be used as a tool for spiritual transformation.

We meet approximately every two to three months, often in the Vermont area but we are now growing into the New Hampshire and Massachusetts areas and are looking for hosts for those areas. Our meetings are friendly casual get-togethers with dinner and a discussion afterward in a private home. These events are NOT play party oriented and are specifically designed to be a safe place to talk about our spiritual orientation in a small group of people – usually 10-15 guests. Dress is casual and we all bring food to share, as well as a small creative gift and a gas money donation for our speaker if we have one. We encourage a NON-meat market mentality so Submissives can feel very comfortable at our meetings.

Rose & Thorn (Burlington area)
Hosts events on the third Saturday of the month in Northern Vermont. 
Website: www.roseandthorn.org  (website dates are far out of date, but information is correct)
Membership Coordinator E-Mail: VTRoseThorn@Yahoo.com 

(This is the group that Sadie founded in 1999, now directed by Flirticia)

Rutland/Killington Munch
Date: Last Sunday of the month
Time: 2 PM - 5 PM
Location: Grist Mill in Killington (will be changing for the winter)
Membership Coordinator E-Mail: Beverly at west820@yahoo.com 
Twisted Munch (Burlington area)
The Twisted Munch (TM) was organized as a successor to VSK after the founder of VSK became more interested in other activities.  Since VSK has not hosted a munch since spring of 2006, TM started trying to take its place in the fall of 2006.

TM has two missions:
1) to provide a safe entry point for new BDSM-curious folks from the Burlington area, who might be on their way to more play-intensive groups, such as Rose & Thorn or Darkstone; and

2) to provide a comprehensive calendar of local events as a service for the local community (both individuals and groups).  TM is not trying to be as eActive as UVM, but rather be a low-impact group (generating very few messages per month).  In addition, we want to try to have munch activities which are not restricted to the same restaurant every month: in the summer we might have barbecues at a park; and if a local kinky friend needs help with moving, or a construction project, perhaps we will muster a small army of kinky folks to help out and then have a
party afterwards.

UpperValleyMunch
UpperValleyMunch is both a munch and a discussion forum for adults age twenty-one and older interested in BDSM.
To join visit Yahoo Groups here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UpperValleyMunch/

We host a monthly social event ("munch") in the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River, on the border of Vermont and New Hampshire at the intersection of Interstate 89 and Interstate 91 (White River Junction, VT / Hanover and Lebanon, NH / Dartmouth College area), allowing quick and easy access from all parts of New England. The munch is not a play party but rather an opportunity for adults with an interest in BDSM to meet other like-minded adults in a public yet discrete environment that is both safe and comfortable. Whether "newbie" or seasoned, all mature adults age twenty-one and over with an interest in BDSM, regardless of orientation, are welcome to attend our munch.

UpperValleyMunch is also a discussion forum, a place to share thoughts and ideas and to meet others in the lifestyle on-line; respectful thoughts, observations, and ideas are welcome and encouraged.

LOCATION:  A restaurant within a 60 second drive from the intersection of I-89 and I-91 (White River Junction, VT/Hanover & Lebanon, NH / Dartmouth College area); complete info and directions will be sent to those who RSVP prior to the event. The restaurant offers reasonably priced fare, a quiet atmosphere, a safe and well lit private parking area, is easily accessible from I-89 and I-91, yet is far enough off the beaten path and away from prying eyes to ensure your privacy. Enjoy an appetizer or dessert, have a full meal, or just sip on a beverage while meeting new members of the community and enjoying the company of old friends -- the choice is yours.

OPEN TO:  UpperValleyMunch members only.
