Hello kinksters – Tomorrow is Halloween! We hope you have a great time, however you spend it! I (Mir) spent last weekend at Dark Odyssey: Surrender in San Jose. The event had record attendance this year, and I dove right into several events I was leading or co-leading as well as my own personal adventures in learning. (I’m recommitting to my rope explorations this year!) I am returning very grateful for deep conversations, cuddle with old friends, long scenes, lots of magick, and reconnecting with creative kinksters from our other Bay Area kink organizations. If you get a chance to do one of the Dark Odyssey events in California or the Baltimore/ DC area, don’t miss it! This is truly a life-changing and kink-deepening event. Speaking of deepening: our yearly cohort of ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires​ launches this weekend, with our first live session on Monday, November 3. If you’re planning to join us for this six-week adventure into building your own erotic roadmap, now is the time. This intensive is perfect for anyone who is at a new stage of their own kink journey. While we sometimes get complete newbies, the folks that seem to get the most out of it are in some process of reinventing or reigniting their kink journeys. Let’s get into it . . . This Week! Thursday, October 30 Online: Want to get started learning the ropes? Join SuspendDisbelief online tonight for Tied and True: Introduction to Rope Bondage. Please note that this workshop is offered only to live attendees; it will not be recorded, so mark your calendars! Advanced ticketing is available through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Friday, October 31 Online: No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Saturday, November 1 Online: Interested in getting involved in your own local kink scene, but not sure what to expect or how to get started? Join our own Miriam Green online today for Welcome to the Public Kink Scene!. This is an online, national (even international) version of what started as a local kink scene orientation, and focuses on the culture, etiquette, types of events, and ways to feel safe and have fun while exploring your own local scene. Advanced ticketing required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Online: Want to make the most out of your scenes, dating, and generally interacting in kink? You’re going to want Badass Boundaries for BDSM! Where do you get those? Get started thinking about it this afternoon with Buzz Stingyear! Advanced ticketing needed to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Sunday, November 2 Online: Today is the day! Join us online for a six-week journey of kink & erotic self-discovery in this year’s ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Kink Desires​ with our own Miriam Green. Through three online group sessions, one or more individual coaching sessions, and lots of at-your-own-pace coursework, you’ll build your own personal template for getting what you want in your intimate play and relationships. Online: Join us online for our three-hour workshop Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence with Adam from Consent Academy. This three hour workshop is well worth the time to develop self-knowledge and better skills for the entirety of our community. Attend live if you can to make the most of it, but we’ll also have a recording available for one week after the workshop. Advanced ticketing is available through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Monday, November 3 Online: Today is the final day of late registration for ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Kink Desires​ with our own Miriam Green, and we will have our first live (and recorded) online session tonight at 6pm Pacific for registered attendees.

San Francisco, CA: If you’re in the Bay Area, join us for the most fun you can have on a Wednesday night at SpankLab, hosted by impossiblepain.

Come on your own or with a partner, and you’re welcome to play hands-on or just observe. (Watching is participation!) This event often sells out in advance, so be sure to get advance tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Thursday, November 6 Online: The moon is getting full. Ready for some magic?

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 . . .

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.

Hello kinksters – This autumn is stuffed with opportunities for kink education and connection! If you’re headed to ​Dark Odyssey: Surrender​ this month in San Jose, we’ll see you there! We are running several classes, rituals, and self-care events, so check the schedule for offerings from Miriam Green and impossiblepain, as well as our other regular educators like Lee Harrington, Alexandria from Click Your Heels, and Psychokitty Ryan. Our yearly cohort of Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires launches in early November. Every year we embark on an intensive journey of self-exploration in a supportive group setting with three group coaching sessions, one or more individual coaching sessions with me, and lots of guided individual exploration each week. If you’d like to join us, ​find out more and register here​. Now, let’s take a look at this week’s kinky adventures! This Week! Thursday, October 9 Online: Drop. Ugh, why?!?! Might have been a great scene. A date. Folsom. A kink camp event. It was great while it lasted, and now, a day (or three) later, you’re cranky, sad, exhausted or – bonus! – all of the above. We can’t promise to make drop go away entirely. But we do have some great strategies to avoid making it worse. Join our own Miriam Green 10/9 to explore Dealing With Drop. You’ll need advanced tickets from ​FT​ or ​Plura​ whether to attend live or through the recording. Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11 No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Sunday, October 12 Online: Let’s make your play electric – literally!

We will offer ​Violet Wands 102 with Electro Girly​ on 11/15! Monday, October 13 No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Tuesday, October 14 Online: Are you permenopausal, menopausal, or post-menopausal? Do you feel like the regular discourse around the changes to your body and life don’t always include your authentic sexual experiences as a kinky person? You might want tonight’s class Tune In to Your Menopause Experience with kink-aware, polyamorous, and genderqueer menopause doula Lasara Firefox Allen. Let’s talk about what’s really going on, and how to coast it without fighting it. This class is also open to supportive others who want to know more!

Join us at 11am Pacific for Sex-Positive Menopause for Genderqueer Folx.

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.

Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires with Miriam Green a six-week online intensive via Teachable and Zoom November 2 – December 13, 2025 ​Advance ticketing required. Get yours here!​ Please note: these workshops sell out in advance, and space is limited. To ensure your seat, please sign up as soon as you feel committed to this work. The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into immediate challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires? This six-week online intensive is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. Since 2023, we’ve been helping kinksters just like you create their own erotic roadmaps and advocate for their needs and wants. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). Is this course for you?​ Do you get stuck when asked “what do you want in intimate relationships?” Are you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks? Have you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism? Do you want a deep understanding of the physical and psychological responses you have to kink? Do you want to connect deeply with others? Then yes: this course is for you! Together, we’ll explore: Discovering and honoring what turns you on Safely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism Trying new skills in the bedroom and beyond Deepening your insights into your own desires Disentangling from others’ erotic projections Finding your voice and speaking freely Sharing the desires you’re afraid to voice How we’ll engage The six week course will run live from November 2 to December 13, 2025. This class will include six total weeks of content and homework, three 90-minute live online group sessions (recorded for later participation if needed), and at least one half-hour individual consult with instructor Miriam Green. (Our class tiers include the option to add more consulting for your own journey.) Our three live sessions will be offered via Zoom on Sunday, November 2, Sunday, November 23, and Sunday December 7. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. Ticketed participants will have access to the course materials weekly as they are provided and will have the ability to participate at their own pace, attending the live sessions in real time or online at their convenience. ​​Tickets are available here, and space is limited.​​ Pricing plans are available for additional accessibility.
