Welcome to “Playing Full Out!”

Vanguard was born out of a writing exercise in 1999 when Lady Hilary scribbled down the endless list of “what do I really want in my life?”  The writing exercise became the guiding vision to create an opportunity for kinky, queer, leather, women and men to gather, share and grow in their lives, both inside and outside the dungeon.

Vanguard Leather (Lady Hilary and the Cadre) produces retreats, workshops, and classes, in addition to offering  coaching in service to our entire community.  We value all the women, men, gender queers, and freaks that weave together the fabric of this incredible BDSM kink quilt.

Lady Hilary has been sharing her life, home, and heart in this manner since the fall of 1999. Her goal, and that of the Vanguard Cadre, is to share what they have learned with you, and if they are lucky, to learn from you as well.

Take a look around the site, we offer the Vanguard Retreat which is a 2-day intensive with a focus on living a joyful, passionate life, free from the limiting beliefs we all carry deep inside.  The retreat provides an opportunity for deeper self-understanding and gives you the ability to know your own powerful truth.  Our all day workshops both support the retreat experience as well as give you a taste of our style.  We love to present at various leather and kink events and are happy to share our experience with your group.  A full listing of our current offerings is available on the classes page.  Our final offering is Leather Life Coaching! We are committed to giving back to our community by providing the opportunity and tools you need to live your best life.
