This week with Wicked Grounds (10/10 - 10/20)
|
Howdy kinksters - I hope everyone is doing well and recovering from Folsom shenanigans if you went! There's a lot going on at Wicked Grounds as we sail into our first week of Diving Deep and prepare for the Dark Odyssey: Surrender conference at the end of the month. If you'd like to join us for late registration in Diving Deep, this is your last week! We still have two live sessions and your personal consult(s), as well as the regular weekly homework and our recording from the first live session held earlier this week. You may find the late registration link here. Now, let's see what's going on this week! This week!Thursday 10/10Sometimes it's a scene we feel low after. It might be a weekend of fun. Heck, it might be Folsom Street Fair! Drop is a very real phenomenon that can catch us off guard after a wide variety of kink experiences. It's not just "sub drop," but can happen to all kinds of kink and edge players. Join us at 6pm Pacific tonight online for Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green to find out what drop is, why it happens, and ways to mitigate it. Get your advance tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Tuesday 10/15Want to make your scenes truly immersive? Add theatrical tools to enhance your scene play! Join us at 6:30pm tonight in San Francisco for Setting the Scene with Psychokitty Ryan. We will dissect key elements from the stage and show how those can be used. With audience demos and examples, we will show how simple to complex things can be done for improvement like: the effects of lighting; from decorations to set design; the psychological power of props and costuming. This is geared for those with an interest in expanding on role play scenes. Some of the examples to be covered are School scenes, animal play, and interrogation. Advance ticketing strongly recommended. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Wednesday 10/16What are the joys and complications of living in households with more than two adults? Learn about the practical side of sharing space as a polycule in Monogamy? In this Economy? Polyamorous Cohabitation with polyamory author and educator Laura Boyle. This online class starts at 6pm Pacific, and you can get advance ticketing through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Saturday 10/19It's not a Wicked Grounds event per se, but Miriam Green will be hosting a munch for coastal Mendocino county residents today at noon in Mendocino, California. If you're in the area, stop by for a great day of meeting fellow coastal kinksters! Details on FetLife here. Sunday 10/20Interested in age play? Whether you're a big, a little, or just curious, join Draven for Age (Play) Theory at 11am Pacific. Advance tickets and more information are available through Forbidden Tickets. Support. Follow. Share.
