M/s Gathering 2026: The Care & Connection Pantry

At The M/s Gathering, we believe community means showing up for one another—both in the big moments and the quiet, everyday needs. This year, we’re introducing a new offering centered on care, compassion, and shared support: The Care & Connection Pantry.

The Care & Connection Pantry will be set up in the Newark Boardroom within the event space and available all weekend long. It will be stocked with quick, grab-and-go, shelf-stable items for anyone who might need a little extra support. If you’re running low on funds, or just need something to help you through the weekend, this space is here for you—no questions asked, no expectations, no judgment.

If you’re in a position to contribute, we warmly invite you to bring sealed, non-perishable food items to share with the community. Suggested items include:

Granola or protein bars
Individual packs of crackers or cookies
Shelf-stable fruit cups or applesauce
Peanut butter or nut butter packets
Instant oatmeal or ramen cups
Soup in individual microwaveable containers
Trail mix or nuts
Juice boxes or shelf-stable drinks

Donations will be accepted from Thursday 7pm through Saturday 6pm, and every contribution helps nourish someone in our community.

Want to contribute but can’t bring items with you? You can support by donating toward food purchases here:
👉(https://checkout.square.site/merchant/E4CCKTTRZCMTE/checkout/4KOCZFNMB3KYBYG2XHPC4QMZ)

Any remaining donated food at the end of the weekend will be shared with the Food Bank of Delaware, helping extend our care beyond The M/s Gathering.

This is what we do—care for one another. 💜

Meet our M/s Gathering Perspective Speaker: Precious

Join us Thursday night 4/30/26 and start your M/s Gathering experience with heart, depth, and a voice you won’t forget.

Precious Patterson brings more than two decades of lived experience, growth, and connection within the community—woven together with the soul of a poet and the power of spoken word. From Philadelphia roots to a life built alongside her Sir, Precious shares a journey of love, evolution, and identity that goes far beyond labels. In her words, the only name that truly fits is simply “His.”

A familiar and beloved presence at M/s Gathering and across the MAsT community, Precious speaks from a place of authenticity, vulnerability, and strength. Her reflections on family, chosen community, and personal discovery are sure to resonate deeply—whether you’re new to the path or have been walking it for years.

Come early, share a meal, and settle in for an evening of connection and inspiration. Trust us—you’ll want to be in the room for this one.

And don't forget - you need to RSVP to attend the dinner:

Our Keynote Speaker: Sir Edgar

Back when finding community meant flipping through magazine personals, Sir Edgar was already on the journey—and he hasn’t stopped since. With decades of experience, a deep commitment to M/s and Leather, and just the right touch of humor, he’s someone many of us have learned from, worked alongside, or been inspired by.

We’re excited to have him as this year’s keynote speaker.

-----------------------------------------

Sir Edgar began his journey in the lifestyle in the late 1990s in the New Jersey metro area—back when finding community often meant scanning the personals in the back of magazines (yes, he remembers them well). With decades of experience, Sir Edgar brings both depth and humor to his leadership and service.

Together with his beloved slave raven poe, Sir Edgar runs MAsT: Clifton, the MAsT Clifton Munch, and facilitates the MAsT Clifton Masters' Meetup, creating spaces for growth, mentorship, and connection. He proudly held the title of 2019 Northeast Master—a title year so eventful it earned the nickname “the title year that would not end.”

A graduate of MTTA, staff member at Master/slave Conference, and a member of Master Taino’s Leather Family, Sir Edgar is committed to the traditions and future of the Leather and M/s communities. He has shared his knowledge and presence as a presenter at events across the country including SPLF, Master/slave Conference, SELF, Naughty Noel, Brimstone, TESFest, , Kinky Con , The Master/slave Gathering, numerous MAsT Chapters, and MsC Worldwide.

When not teaching, he can often be found volunteering at events, supporting the infrastructure that keeps the community thriving. In his so-called “free time” (which those around him insist he has), Sir Edgar enjoys camping, preventing things from going boom, and keeping his slave raven on her toes. Many say he has a great sense of humor—his slave respectfully disagrees.

03/22/2026

We want to share a program update: one of our previously scheduled presenters will no longer be joining us for The M/s Gathering 2026.

Our team is committed to creating a space that is respectful, inclusive, and aligned with our community values. When concerns are brought forward, we take them seriously and act with care.

We appreciate your understanding and will share updated programming soon.
