This Week with Wicked Grounds (6/11 – 6/21)

Howdy kinksters –

I had a fantastic time last night in San Francisco watching dozens of brave kinksters connect and make new friends. As we head into this Pride month, I hope that you get out and have fun being yourself a LOT, no matter where you are in the world.

We have a lot of great classes for you this week on the techniques, relationship styles and cultures that make the kink and BDSM world so vibrant. We have one live Lap Dancing Fundamentals workshop in Oakland this week, and all the other workshops are online for you to check out from anywhere!

For those if you in the Bay Area, be sure to take a peek at the Intensives section! I’ve just set a date to bring our daylong Kink Self-Exploration Deep Dive to SF on July 25th, and space is limited to only 16 total attendees. This is likely to see out quick, so you might want to grab tickets early from ​FT​ or ​Plura​.

Let’s take a peek at what’s going on this week, shall we?
