< BACK TO QUILT House of Dark Matter House of Dark Matter Where Shadows Shape Reality “In the darkness, W/we discover light.” Step into the darkness, where brilliance begins. The House of Dark Matter is not merely a name—it is a living ritual, a sanctuary for Masters and slaves who seek depth, meaning, and transformation. O/our Leather House honors human life, celebrates African heritage, embraces body awareness, and nurtures wellness as sacred acts. "Every time you want to move into ritual, you need to recognize that there's a whole spirit world around you, there is the animal world, the trees, and so forth..." These words from The Spirit of Intimacy echo through O/our protocols and actions, reminding us that every gesture, every breath, is part of a greater cosmic dance. Born as House of Black Sun in November 2023, we grew and evolved. Through deep reflection, challenges, service, and personal growth, the vision for O/our House was honed. In September 2025 Master Nwachi made a decision to change our name to House of Dark Matter to more deeply reflect that bold vision. O/our roots germinated from the seed of The House of Valor and NC Master. From Washington, DC, O/our leadership radiates outward, shaping communities we touch through service, including service to SELF and the Science of BDSM. O/our members are published authors, CFOs, and those who seek excellence through T/their Mastery and slavehood. Here, in O/our House, power exchange is art. Ritual is language. And every connection is a constellation in the vast universe of intimacy. The House of Dark Matter is where shadows speak and spirits rise. 00284 Home: Washington, D.C.

< BACK TO QUILT MAsT: Jacksonville MAsT Jacksonville's mission is to provide social and support opportunities for its members and foster the beneficial exchange of lifestyle knowledge and experience.

A "pan-dynamic" Chapter, MAsT Jacksonville supports, directly and indirectly, those persons of all genders and all sexual orientations living or interested in engaging in personal relationships based upon the conscious exchange of power and authority within a Master/slave or Dominant/submissive relationship. You do not have to be in a Master/slave relationship or use these specific role specifiers to join discussions. We welcome all who are just interested in learning about the dynamics of an M/s relationship or the M/s life in general. 00263 Home: Jacksonville, Florida USA Status: Active Founded: 27 Aug 2010 Panel History: Added in-person on June 13, 2025 at SouthEast LeatherFest 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia Links: Fetlife Profile Other Details: N/A Have details about this panel that are not listed?

< BACK TO QUILT Los Angeles girls of Leather We are a group of self-identified Leather women/girls. Membership is not limited by race, creed, orientation or gender; however, an identification of Leather women/girl is essential. Los Angeles girls of Leather is a unique and powerful group of individuals — our solidarity and commonality is found in our understanding that the definition of Leather women/girl involves who you are and not just how you play. Anyone who identifies as well as butch/queer and still sees themselves as a Leather women/girl regardless of their gender are all welcome. We are NOT all femme women/girls, we are NOT all sub/slave bottoms. Leather women/girls have many facets to what makes them who they are. 00056 Home: Los Angeles, California USA Status: N/A Founded: by slave_bren Panel History: Added at Southwest Leather Conference in 2015.

< BACK TO QUILT Pin Panel 9 In 2019, the decision was made to remove pins and dedicated pin panels from the quilt. The weight of the pins and the damage their pinbacks were doing to the other leather panels made this decision necessary to protect the health of the quilt, but these pins and dedicated panels were important and have been lovingly preserved and put in a display at the Carter Johnson Library. 0 Home: Status: Founded: Panel History: Links: Other Details: Have details about this panel that are not listed?
