I went because a close friend was going. So all I knew before, was that it's inclusive (because they are bigender) and bdsm/social, in a NSFW space, and had existed for many years (as I'd heard of it pre-covid). Didnt know a thing else.I also run my own NSFW events, and attend othrrs for over 15 years, so I know what good, mediocre and crass events are like in that scene.Panacea was fantastic in every way. Warm, friendly, respectful, good mix of attendees, not too busy or crowded, but plenty enough to have fun. No "hitting on" that I saw, very relaxed vibe. David, the owner and host, was absolutely lovely and his passion for community and for everyone to.enjoy it safely and well, came through clearly, he's nice to talk to as well.The evening started slowly, with many folks sitting round as often happens. Those who arrived with others started the play, but there wasn't a vibe of clingy wannabes. After a while, the room warmed up, a variety of small scenes, and a fair bit of social mingling and chatty friendship was going on. On the kink side there was a diverse range of kinks in use, not at all steroeeotype stuff, it felt fluid, like almost any reasonable kink would have a welcome seat at the table. The venue is one I know well, as I run events there too. So I know how its set out when they arrive, and the work needed to alter the setup to suit an event. They have all clearly worked hard over a * long * time, because it was completely reorganised for Panacea, and very very well done so, too. That says to me, straight off, they have a polished experienced team, and know their stuff, and have been working on the event continually to improve it not just "there's a dungeon go play". The effort and attention to detail shows and spoke volumes to me.Obviously someone who doesn't "get" the lifestyle kink scene and its mindset and lifestyle, will probably not fit in, but its not really an event for those folks. So if you just want to hook up or get laid, forget it. Honestly it won't work for you, its not got the kind of people there you'd look for. Save your money, go to a swingers event or something. This isn't that kind.But if you truly feel most honestly yourself when in a respectful competent warm spirited kink community - try it.
