ONLINE: Shadow, Power & the Erotic Self: A Ritual Descent with Sir Scott
2025-10-22 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
This is not a ‘nice’ workshop. This is sacred edge-play with the parts of ourselves we exile. In this 2-session online ritual descent, we enter the underworld of the erotic psyche to explore the power and beauty of the shadow self through kink, archetypes, and conscious embodiment.
Through poetic reflection, shadow persona work, kink-informed ritual tools, and energetic excavation, you’ll meet the parts of yourself that dominate, collapse, mask, and burn. You’ll also discover what these shadows truly long for—and how they can become allies in your erotic power.
This is an immersive and emotionally rich journey. Come with courage, curiosity, and a willingness to feel.
Format & Timing:
• 2 Online Sessions – 2 hours each (Zoom or preferred platform)
• Optional homework between sessions (Shadow Persona Quiz, journaling, sigil work)
• Includes downloadable handouts, ritual worksheets, and reflection pages
Who This Is For:
• Kink-curious or seasoned practitioners exploring shadow integration
• Erotic explorers seeking spiritual depth and psychological insight
• Educators, therapists, facilitators, or ritualists looking to deepen their shadow-informed practices
All genders, orientations, and identities welcome. This is a queer- and neurodivergent-welcoming space. Nudity, live scenes, or sexual activity are not part of this class. Adult themes and intense material will be engaged with care.
**FAQ Highlights**
**Q: Will this involve live scenes or nudity?**
A: No. This is a teaching, reflection, and ritual exploration class, not a play party.
**Q: What if I’m new to kink or shadow work?**
A: Perfect. Come as you are. Everything is framed accessibly, with optional entry points.
**Q: Do I have to share anything personal?**
A: Sharing is welcome but never required. We’ll offer solo, private options for every practice.

ONLINE: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2025-10-28 08:00 - 17:00 | CA
Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn’t necessarily come naturally — especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.
Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We’ll talk about:

Negotiation styles
Pre-scene negotiations
How to negotiate without killing the mood
Checking in during and after the scene
Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics

Drawing on what we know about the psychology of a scene, we’ll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic.This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications.
PRESENTER:
Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over one dozen years in the Austin, Houston and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community, BDSM negotiations, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds.

ONLINE: Beyond Spicy: Writing the Taboo with Sinclair Sexsmith
2025-10-28 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Step into the charged, alluring world of forbidden desires in this two-hour erotica writing workshop. We’ll explore what makes something taboo—whether rooted in culture, power, fantasy, or the edges of consent—and how to write it with heat, depth, and care. We all know the thrill of a dark romance novel—the delicious tension, the forbidden spark, the way it keeps us turning pages late into the night. This workshop shows you how to bring that same intensity to your own writing.
Through discussion, guided prompts, and optional sharing, you’ll discover how to balance erotic detail with emotional resonance, craft scenes that pulse with tension, and navigate risky subject matter without losing the spark. No experience necessary—just curiosity and openness. Leave with fresh writing, sharper skills, and the confidence to take your stories beyond spicy into the deliciously dangerous.

ONLINE: Dark Roleplaying with Lee Harrington
2025-10-29 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
We have been “playing pretend” since we were young, but kinky sexuality opens up new and potentially taboo forms of roleplaying. Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of our fantasies and make-believe we can try on: abduction, torture, snuff, fantastical realms, and anything else our twisted minds can dream up. We will discuss the joys of playing consensually in our closets, why these dark desires turn us on, how to bring up these taboo interests with our partners, negotiating our interests, and troubleshooting the challenges these types of fantasies can elicit.

ONLINE: Tied and True: Introduction to Rope Bondage with SuspendDisbelief
2025-10-30 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
This 101-level course is aimed toward anybody who has barely touched rope but wants to, who would like a refresher, or who, much like the presenter, was repeatedly betrayed by their neurodivergence while trying to learn rope and would benefit from novel ways to look at the basics. It provides opportunities to learn basic risk awareness, pros and cons of rope materials, and building blocks such as single column knots and connecting rope.
This class in particular aims to provide a “grab-bag” of several ways to achieve each step, allowing students to pick what works for them from both topping and bottoming perspectives.
If you have at least one 24-30ft length of rope and a cutting tool, please have them handy. You can bring but do not need a partner for this class. We will work under the philosophy that there is no “one true way” you must perfectly carry out, but a few tips can help keep beginners safer.
PRESENTER:
SuspendDisbelief (she/her) is a queer, non-monogamous power exchange and sadomasochism nerd. Her hobby of choice has been getting hurt in public since 2017, but she has been fantasizing about powerlessness and crushing on former boy scouts exclusively for their knowledge of knots for far longer than that. On top of bottoming for power exchange and physical+emotional sadism, she started tying herself in 2019 and swiftly snowballed down the pipeline toward rope topping. She uses the chaos goblin energy bestowed upon her by her ADHD to enhance her teaching and help people like her “get it”. She currently helps facilitate and teaches monthly for Hitchin’ Bitches DC.

ONLINE: Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence with Adam
2025-11-02 11:00 - 14:00 | CA
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?
In this participatory workshop, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. We’ll look through a trauma- and disability justice-informed lens, and talk about common patterns, subjective interpretations, ascriptions, and communication–based on neurotypes, socialization, and lived experience. There will be opportunities for community members to share their experiences.
INSTRUCTOR:
Adam is a community organizer, mediator, consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, and responses to and prevention of harm – including transformative justice and community accountability. They desire to help people play and communicate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam is an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They also do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, including progressive organizing groups, and are building out some exciting new projects around this in progressive organizing spaces as well as the kink+ world.

ONLINE: Empowered/Responsible Dominance: Building Trust, Holding Power with Integrity with Sir Scott
2025-11-05 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Step into your role as a dominant with clarity, confidence, and care. This class is designed for individuals exploring or deepening their journey in consensual dominance within alternative lifestyle relationships.
Whether you’re new to power exchange or refining your existing skills, Empowered/Responsible Dominance offers a guided path toward authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, and ethical authority.
In this class, participants will learn how responsible dominance is not about control for control’s sake—but about cultivating mutual trust, creating intentional structure, and stewarding the emotional, physical, and psychological safety of power exchange dynamics.
We’ll explore:
– The difference between empowered dominance and domineering behavior
– Emotional, physical, and psychological boundaries—how to define, communicate, and honor them
– Understanding risk dynamics through frameworks like SSC, RACK, and PRICK
– Conflict resolution strategies and pressure-free negotiation techniques
– Aftercare and emotional support as essential acts of responsible leadership
– Signs of predatory or manipulative behavior in submissives
– Building connection through trust, ritual, and emotional attunement
## This class is not just for Dominants!
This class is focused on education, empowerment, and emotional maturity.
It is kink-aware and trauma-informed. All dynamics and identities are welcome.
PRESENTER:
🔥 Scott – “FireOnTheMtnTop”
Scott is a lifestyle Dominant, Sadist, Daddy, and Primal Edge Player with over 18 years in the kink community. He’s a founding Director of G.O.D.S., creator of Colorado KNKE Kinky Camping, and a seasoned Dungeon Monitor, lifestyle event Emcee, and presenter.
As a Dominant, Scott teaches that leadership in kink is sacred work—rooted in care, emotional safety, and integrity. He’s known for creating grounded, real-world conversations about power and play that help people feel seen, strong, and turned on by their truth.
✨ Lecee
Lecee is the “yin” to Scott’s Dominant fire—his little “s.” She’s been active in the lifestyle for 8 years and brings playful insight, emotional wisdom, and lived experience as a submissive.
Together, she and Scott co-create containers that are intimate, brave, and authentic. Her presence helps others feel permission to explore new desires, embrace vulnerability, and rewrite the old stories they were told about sex, surrender, and and worthiness.

ONLINE: Full Moon Class 1: Elemental Magic in BDSM with Madam Rose
2025-11-06 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Full Moon in Taurus
When your energy is aligned, your dominance flows with clarity and presence—and your submission anchors into loyalty, devotion, and clarity of purpose. This immersive 2-hour workshop teaches you how to return to that alignment using the four elements as practical tools for energetic mastery.
You’ll explore how air, fire, water, and earth each influence your unique power dynamic—and how to choose the right element to meet your needs in both dominant and submissive roles.
From grounding and breathwork to advanced energetic tools, each method is broken down by level and applied to your real-life dynamic.
We’ll conclude with a live altar demonstration, a Q&A integration space, and a brief introduction to flower essences—refined plant allies used in energetic recalibration.
You’ll leave with:
● A deeper understanding of your energetic blueprint
● Personalized tools to stabilize dominance or submission
● Clear examples of how each element affects power exchange
● A live altar-building demo using all four elements
● An introduction to flower essence support for advanced energetic refinement
Open to all roles, genders, and experience levels. No prior energy work necessary.
PRESENTER:
Madam Rosie Rose, the spiritual guide to Dommes, subs, and spicy content creators. Owner of Rose Garden of Kink, a sacred store for the D/s dynamic. She blends energy healing, flower essence work, and divination to support power exchange as a path to alignment.

ONLINE: Sensations Playground: Exploring Edge, Sensuality & Intensity with Electro Girly
2025-11-10 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Step into a world where touch becomes a language and sensation transforms into art. This class invites you to explore the full spectrum of sensation play—from teasing and tantalizing to intense and electrifying. You’ll learn how to safely harness tools that awaken the body and mind, opening the door to new levels of presence, trust, and thrill.
We’ll dive into claws and pinwheels, exploring light scratches, rolling tingles, and textured stimulation that tease and excite every nerve. Wax play introduces warmth and contrast, letting you experience the delicious interplay of hot and cold across the skin. Knife sensation play brings a heightened edge: you’ll explore scratchy and slick movements along the skin, using textured blades to create a thrilling yet fully controlled experience. Safety techniques are emphasized at every step, ensuring that the play is intense but completely consensual and risk-aware.
Beyond tactile play, we’ll explore the pulse of electro play, using electricity to deepen sensation and connection, and the controlled intensity of fire play, where flames awaken the senses in a safe, guided way. By the end of the class, you’ll have practical skills, safety techniques, and the confidence to integrate these tools into your own play—whether you’re exploring alone or with a partner. Participants will also gain advanced skills to elevate their practice and explore sensation with greater precision, control, and artistry.
PRESENTER:
Electro Girly is an educator, performer, event coordinator, and Pro Dom at Sanctuary Studios in Los Angeles. She specializes in electro play, but her teaching sparks far beyond the electrical thrill. She entered the kink scene in 2017 and began professionally working in the community this year, guiding students through a wide range of sensation and edge play, including electro play, impact, wax, knife, sharps, and fire play—all explored with intense, intertwined sensuality that awakens the senses, heightens presence, and deepens connection.
Her classes blend technical skill, embodied awareness, and fearless curiosity, while cultivating a safe, consent-based, and comfortable space where students are free to push boundaries and explore intensity at their own pace. Questions are welcomed, curiosity is celebrated, and every participant is supported as they discover new edges of sensation, pleasure, and connection. Students leave inspired, empowered, and equipped with practical skills to bring artistry, passion, and transformative energy into their own play.

ONLINE: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2025-11-11 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn’t necessarily come naturally — especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.
Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We’ll talk about:
– Negotiation styles
– Pre-scene negotiations
– How to negotiate without killing the mood
– Checking in during and after the scene
– Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics
Drawing on what we know about the psychology of a scene, we’ll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic.This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications.
PRESENTER:
Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over one dozen years in the Austin, Houston and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community, BDSM negotiations, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds.

ONLINE: From Harm to Healing with Adam and Ash of Consent Academy
2025-11-15 10:00 - 13:00 | CA
Harm happens — from abuse of power to consent incidents and violations. When it does, it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these events are handled well. Too often they’re not, which frequently leads to more harm.
Join us for a look at new ways to deal with harm that works to support the person harmed, foster accountability for the person who did the harm, and manage the response for the community at large–including transforming conditions that allow harm to arise in the first place.”
Consent Academy is an educational collective founded in 2016 in Seattle, WA, currently with staff and volunteers all over the world. We believe consent is a part of everyday life, and its practice builds stronger, safer, and more connected communities. Our approach incorporates disciplines of psychology, sociology, public health, psychotherapy, and personal coaching to create a systemic view of how consent impacts everyone, from the bedroom to the boardroom.
INSTRUCTORS:
Adam is a community organizer, mediator, conflict transformation facilitator, kink and consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, neurodivergence accessibility, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, harm reduction, and systems transformation. They desire to help people relate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam is an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy, advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, from organizing spaces to the sex+ world. Adam sees this work as intersectional, directly connected to the better, more liberatory world they want to live in.
Asha Lerae has been a part of Consent Academy since 2018, teaching established curriculum, creating new workshops, facilitating discussion groups, and acting as a consent advocate and consultant. She became Co-director of Consent Academy in January, 2022. She is passionate about consent education as a way to reduce trauma, promote pleasure and eroticism, support accountability, and foster cultural change that balances autonomy with responsibility. Asha is also an adjunct faculty member at Antioch University Seattle, an AnteUp! certified sexuality, gender, and justice educator, a certified abortion doula, and somatic sex educator.

Dive into ways we can better serve the needs of our partners. Service is a way for us to feel utilized & engaged within the dynamic without a whole big scene.

Often, the monotony & hecticness of everyday life can be distracting from focusing on the moments that matter the most with the people we care for. These workshops are great for unpartnered & partnered people. This educational intensive is accessible to both D-types, s-types, & everyone in between!

2025-11-19 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
How do you know you are done? What happens after the magic? What next? What do we do now?
These questions and more are at the roots of this class. Scenes, rituals, initiations, and radical shifts in our states of being, often come with a shift in how we fit within consensus reality.
Can we “go back to normal” or is it “on to a new normal”. What does that even look like?
We’ll explore tools for energetic closure, and endings, of exploring our new normal. Where do we go from here?
PRESENTER:
HG Wyndell is an activist, educator, and Spiritworker who is driven to facilitate accessible ritual spaces for folks seeking access to more deeply nourishing relationships with themselves and others.

The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.
PRESENTER:

ONLINE: What Now? Responding to Consent Injuries with Sir Panda
2025-11-22 11:00 - 13:00 | CA
We talk a lot about what consent is and how to reach good consent in play and with partners. Yet consent injuries happen all the time. What happens after things go wrong, and a consent incident shakes up a person, a couple, or a community?
This class will briefly touch on what consent is and how to secure it, then go beyond and examine how to best react when a consent incident touches us as a stranger, a friend, or an event host.
We’ll look at some recommended responses, including incident reporting and consequences such as apologies, punishments, and restorative justice.
