Below the Radar, Above the Radar
slave caroline has been “kinky” since her earliest memory, and in one form of Ds or Ms relationship since her late teens, having served a number of Masters of different genders and sexual orientations. Along with a lifetime interest in spirituality, theology and philosophy, which has included twenty years of practice in meditation, her journey in slavery has been her central path to the sacred. In recent years, through the grace of her Guru, Sai Baba, she has been able to integrate her spiritual practices with her slavery and her business through a deeper appreciation of love, devotion, surrender and service and power exchange.
Since attending her first Master slave conference in DC in 2004, she has been an active member of the Master slave community here in the USA. She has presented on various aspects of Master / slave and spirituality issues at Southwest Leather Conference, Together In Leather, P.L.A.Y., the Master / slave Conference, the Leather Leadership Conference and Great Lakes Leather Alliance where she sees her contribution as a service to the Master / slave community she has come to know as her true family. She is a registered clinical psychologist, business woman, consultant, a self-proclaimed Jungian, corporate priestess, a spiritual seeker/teacher as well as a deep lifestyle slave.
In October 2008, she relocated to Southern California from Australia when she enrolled in a PhD in Depth Psychology. Her dissertation topic in the area of Master slave dynamics through which she aims to bring greater understanding, and dispel the prejudices and stereotypes of Mastery and slavery held by the therapeutic, medical and legal professions.
