This Week with Wicked Grounds (8/8 - 8/18)


Howdy kinksters -

I hope this late summer is treating you well! For many, it's back-to-school season. I hope that amid the hustle and bustle, you take some time to go deeper with your kink adventures!

Speaking of back to school, registration has officially opened for our six-week intensive Diving Deep: Discovering and Voicing Your Erotic Desires. This six-week online intensive comes with live group discussions, lots of weekly homework, and individual coaching and consulting. Both new and experienced kinksters have reported this workshop has had a profound impact on their way of approaching erotic life on their own terms. It's a deep ride, and it usually sells out well in advance. If you're interested in attending, we'd love to have you!

If you'd like to give Mir the best ever present for their birthday next week, consider donating to the Wicked Grounds scholarship fund to keep our classes accessible for kinksters without means to attend on their own. You can contribute through our website. Or, use our Venmo for one-time donations. Just note that they're for the scholarship fund!

Now, let's look at what next week has in store!

If you've been to my in-person classes, you know I like to play hard. But you don't need to play at the edges to improve your play and intimacy with great negotiation skills. Almost any kind of play can be made better, deeper, safer, and more fun with great communication. I don't know about you, but I didn't learn how to do that kind of communicating in school. Whether you're new to kink, feeling challenged by the evolving world of consent, or just want to go deeper, I hope you'll take...

Hi all - I'm getting very excited about our upcoming Diving Deep six-week intensive! As you might know, we have two tiers of participation available. Every registered student will have at least one private half-hour consult with me, but you have the option to go even deeper and book four half-hour consults. As you can imagine, this takes a fair amount of scheduling, so I work carefully to ensure I have enough time blocked out. Because of this, we close registration for this premium tier...

Howdy kinksters - It's Leather Month! Yay!
