SUMMARY:SF: The Embodied Feminine Daylong Intensive (by Click Your Heels) A daylong embodiment intensive in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:The Embodied Feminine\na somatic exploration of feminine power \nWhat if our bodies were lightning rods for divine feminine power? What if we pulled this energy into our skin\, our bones\, our breath\, and our pulse? What if we allowed our bodies to give us strength and shine bright\, bold\, and brave in the world? \nThis is a day-long workshop to help us each recover and deepen our somatic connection to that elemental spirit of the feminine\, which is part of the pulse of the universe. This is the only body you will ever have. What if your body was your partner? A source of energy\, strength\, and renewal? \nThere is no such thing as navigating our relationships with our bodies honestly without bumping into patriarchy\, colonialism\, capitalism\, and racism. \nWe all dream of a new era of freedom for the feminine spirit\, what that could feel like for ourselves\, and for all of humanity. This is a day of real work to address the stains of body shame/fear/hate we carry inside of us\, which clouds our mind-body connection. It serves as a blocker or a jailer\, preventing us from loving our bodies and feeling at home in them. \nIt’s time to gather in community. It’s time to grow beyond the limits we were fed. Every moment of your life is lived in this one body. Are you ready to step into a power they can never extinguish? \nWe may not have been raised for this\, but we were born for it. \nWe will be engaging through movement both large and small and through listening\, music\, language\, touch\, texture\, breath\, and more. \nAll genders and bodies are welcome. \nWe believe people of all bodies and genders can embrace and empower their innate feminine energy. \nThis workshop is for people who \n\nHave\, past or present\, deep-lived experiences of femmephobia and/or misogyny\,\n\nAND \n\nWant to engage with and embrace their innate feminine power.\n\nWe will be using and encouraging language such as “My body? She is my partner\,” “I trust her completely\,” and “My cunt is powerful.” Anyone comfortable with she/her pronouns being used for our bodies for the duration of this workshop is welcome and encouraged to attend. People will be referred to using they/them pronouns. All staff\, management\, and owners for this event and this venue are LGBTQ+. \nThere will be zero nudity or stripping. Please wear layers of clothes in which you can move freely\, that uplift your energy\, and that help you feel erotic and positive. It will be beneficial for you to be able to feel your skin with your hands\, so if possible\, please wear an underlayer such as a tank top\, crop top\, shorts\, etc.\, that allows you easy access to some of your bare skin. Choose your hair and makeup knowing that we will ask you to put your hands on your head and face. \n💞 This class is Limited to 18 students to ensure personal attention\, space\, and time!!! \nCOMING TO CLASS? READ THIS–> 🎒 Info for attending: \n✨This is a body-positive\, safe\, welcoming environment. \n🚪 Doors open at 11:15 pm Introductions start at 11:30 am.

And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward. \nThe 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. \nOnce the event has started\, we can not add new people\, so please be on time. \nPRESENTER: \nRyan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade\, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender\, or hosting events at the SF Citadel\, Catalyst\, and of course Wicked Grounds. \nACCESS: \nIn SF\, this event will be held at Trellis.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Long Distance Polyamory w/ HG Wyndell
DESCRIPTION:Whether partners are 2 hours away or halfway around the world\, it can take a lot more than Google Calendar to make long-distance polyamorous relationships functional\, healthy\, and fulfilling. \nSometimes the distance is a six-month job placement\, sometimes it’s living thousands of miles apart. Distance will multiply the complexity already present in polyamorous\nrelationships. \nWe’ll discuss the challenges\, additional dynamics\, and helpful approaches to long-distance polyamory based on lived experience. Hopefully leaving you with more tools in your toolbox for figuring out how to make it work in healthy and fulfilling ways for you. \nPRESENTER: \nHG 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. They are committed to living life through a lens of wonder\, and in our experience\, they don’t mess around when it comes to embracing the complex beingness of whoever is blessed to be in their presence and consideration. They weave their lived experiences with intentional relationship\, genuine gender expression\, ceremony\, creative arts\, chronic illness\, and embracing pleasure seamlessly with a whole lot of love and a good bit of magic into the rich curriculum they offer. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; $20-$40 sliding scale. We offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/7172bbba4c

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Consent\, Accountability\, and Neurodivergence: Pt 1 with Adam and Draven
DESCRIPTION:This class has been extended into 2 parts! It is not required to attend both\, merely recommended. Here is the link for the other: https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/79b286fdcf \nHow 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? \nIn 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. \nINSTRUCTORS: \nAdam 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. \nDraven is a Trauma-Informed Sexuality Educator with Dynamic Education and Counseling and a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality student at the California Institute of Integral Studies. From a playful and authentic base\, Draven weaves research and stories to teach individuals how to process one’s trauma with themselves while being supported by a therapist. While teaching\, they knit stories in to include intersectional identities and how oppressive systems affect individuals and communities. As a Trauma-Informed Sexuality Educator\, Draven coaches neurodivergent individuals/couples/polycules\, provides trauma processing groups and conducts a variety of workshops on healthy sexuality. Draven also volunteers at The Consent Academy as a Consent Educator and at Queer Space as the Founder and LGBTQ+ Liaison. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/d282fb12c9
