This Week with Wicked Grounds (10/16 – 10/26)

October 16, 2025 By Miriam Green

Hello kinksters –

We’re a flurry of activity right now, getting ready for next week’s ​Dark Odyssey: Surrender​ in San Jose and our yearly cohort of ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires​, which launches in early November. If you’re headed to Dark Odyssey, you can now see all the events from our most active local instructors posted to our FetLife events for your perusal. As of right now, DO still has full registrations and day passes available, so that you can join us – but that might change! Registration has already set a new record this year, so it’s possible the event could sell out.

If you’ll be on site for Dark Odyssey, and would like to help us facilitate the opening and closing ceremonies, please reach out by replying to this email or sending us a FetLife DM! We can always use a little help with holding the space and the more the merrier.

As we edge toward the end of year, things are getting spookier, as you’ll see in week’s kinky adventures . . .

This Week!

Thursday, October 16

Online: Ready to start exploring your local play parties, but not sure where to begin or what to expect? We’ve got you! Join Princess Rara from Pink Kink online tonight for Dungeons Demystified: Navigating Etiquette, Attire, and Atmosphere in BDSM Spaces. We’ll get you feeling prepared to navigate these spaces with ease! Advanced ticketing required whether to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Friday, October 17

No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​.

Saturday, October 18

Online: World Menopause Day is today, and in honor of the day we have two additional – and more specialized – classes with genderqueer menopause doula Lasara Firefox Allen.

Join us at 11am Pacific for Sex-Positive Menopause for Genderqueer Folx. If you are sick of being misgendered just trying to get information about menopause – or you’re facing some very specific issues that might be different than the cis experience – this might be the menopause information you need. Advanced tix required to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Then at 2pm we’ll turn inward for a more spiritual approach in Dark Moon Menopause: Crafting a Magickal Menopause Practice. There’s a lot more to magickal practice than just the old model of maiden, mother, and crone, and Lasara Firefox Allen literally wrote the books (Sexy Witch, and later Jailbreaking the Goddess) to explore it. Let’s turn that knowledge toward creating a magickal and spiritual practice that truly embodies later life! Advanced ticketing needed to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Sunday, October 19

Online: Want to take your partner (or yourself) to the edge? Ready to learn more about the P-spot and how to enjoy it? Join Lady V at 11am Pacific for Edge of Glory: P-Spot & Cock Edging. Advanced tickets will allow you to either attend live or within one week through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Online: Emotional sadism and masochism takes skill, from bottoms and tops alike – but we don’t always hear the full spectrum of skills that the bottom brings to the table. Let’s change that! Join us today at 2pm Pacific for Baring Your Emotional Jugular: Active Bottoming For Emotional Sadism Play with SuspendDisbelief to take your skills to the next level. Advanced tix required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Monday, October 20

Online: Ready to go darker? Join Jamie Joy online tonight for Mindfuck Me: Fear & Psychological Edge Play. We’ll explore types of play and all the ways to keep this type of play safe and hot! Advanced ticketing required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Tuesday, October 21

Online: Want to get started with BDSM play? You’ll want to build the foundations of negotiation and consent. Join us for a focused workshop on BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green. You’ll learn everything you need to know to ensure great communication before, during, and after play and understand the unique challenges of scene communication. Advanced ticketing will be needed to attend live or watch the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Wednesday, October 22

Online: What do you see in your kink future? Whether you want to go deeper exploring your own desires, want to improve communications with partners, or want a novel way to explore scene-building, tarot can be a surprisingly powerful tool! Learn more with H G Wyndell in tonight’s online class Spicy Tarot! Advanced ticketing required to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Thurday, October 23
