This Week with Wicked Grounds (9/12 - 9/22)
|
Howdy kinksters - It's Leather Month! Yay! We hope to see you at our Wicked Grounds Booth at Folsom Street Fair -- RSVP to let friends know you're coming, and get the booth location details as soon as we have them. And we are just three weeks away from launching the fall cohort of our six-week intensive Diving Deep: Discovering and Voicing Your Erotic Desires. Space is limited, and with Folsom just weeks before our launch, our fall cohort always sells out. If you want to get the ticketing tier with four consult sessions, please book early! To appropriately manage our time, we usually close that tier early. Read on for this week's events, and plan ahead by checking out all our ticketed events. This week!Thursday 9/12Curious about primal and animal play? Already love playing primally, and want to pick up some new tricks? Join us online tonight at 6pm Pacific for Waking the Beast: Primal Play 101 with Wiley Wolfe! Learn more and get your tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday 9/15D!ck pics can be a lot of things. Artistic? Maybe! Join Lady V to learn about Erectile Artistry: Taking Delicious D!ck Pics online today at 2pm Pacific. (Or, get a ticket and watch the recording later.) Get your tickets in advance via Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Monday 9/16Great scenes start with great negotiations! I don't know about your sex education, but most of us didn't learn how to have a great consent and negotiation discussion when growing up. There are some key skills we can build to cocreate great scenes and stay connected throughout them. Learn more in our monthly class Kink 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green tonight at 6pm Pacific. Get your advance tickets via Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Wednesday 9/18Want to get out and start making more of playtime with others? Join Lee Harrington, who literally (co-) wrote the book on Playing Well With Others. Learn everything you need to know to make the most of your public BDSM, kink, and fetish scenes, wherever you are. Details & ticketing through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Thursday 9/19Whether you’ve been in the scene for decades, or you’re brand new, it is vital to know about consent, and you can never explore too many perspectives! We'd love to see you tonight for Consent: The Ins and Outs with Nyx Lunaea. We’ll go over what consent looks like in vanilla and BDSM spaces, why it matters, and how you can implement it in your daily lives! All weeknight online classes launch at 6pm Pacific. Get your advance tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Saturday 9/21This weekend, we are offering two critical perspectives on neurodivergence and kink. Join us Saturday at 2pm Pacific for Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence with Adam and Draven. How does neurodivergence affect consent mistakes, incidents, and violations? How does it affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability at the personal, interpersonal, and community levels? You'll learn all this and more in this critical online class! Get your tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday 9/22Join us at 11am Pacific for our extremely popular class Autism & Kink with London-based BDSM educator John Pendal. In this workshop we look at the overlap of autism and kink. This workshop isn't just for autistic folk, it can help anyone who feels like an outsider or would like to create a more inclusive environment. Get your advance tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Support. Follow. Share.

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...
