ONLINE: From Harm to Healing: A Guide to Community Accountability with Adam and Ash of Consent Academy
2025-07-27 11:00 - 14:00
Consent incidents and violations happen. When they do it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these are handled well. Sometimes they’re not, which frequently leads to more harm.
Join us for a look at a new way to deal with consent violations 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 the conditions that allowed harm to arise.
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.

ONLINE: Stories We Can Play: Narrative Ageplay with Laura Boyle
2025-07-26 14:00 - 16:00
Many people get involved in age play for either nurturing or dark dynamics that fit very classic Daddy/girl, Mommy/boy dynamics, and while these are beautiful and interesting, this class is half about playing specific narrative scenes within those dynamics, for folks trying on these roles who need some inspiration on how to play them; and half about age play scenes totally outside that dynamic – Bigs who are coaches, grandparents, teachers, aunts, other authority figures – or scenes where littles play together in power exchange.
As a teacher in multiple dynamics that sometimes involve age play in our play, including switching in a little-for-little dynamic, I love sharing inspiration for many narrative directions these kinds of scenes can take and opening the floor to a few minutes of shared discussion for folks to share their inspiration and experience to close the class.
PRESENTER:
Laura Boyle is a writer, polyamorist, and educator who has been teaching classes on polyamory, sexuality, boundaries, kink, and the intersection of those on a local level and at conventions since 2018. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory: A Pragmatic Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy. After more than 15 years in consensually non-monogamous relationships, in polycules that have ranged from temporarily closed Vs to constellations whose shapes are increasingly indescribable depending on which relationships folks consider worth including, she loves to share practical information learned from years of fixing her own mistakes and missteps.

ONLINE: Grounding and Centering for Kinksters: An Introduction to Defining Space and Self w/ HG Wyndell
2025-07-23 18:00 - 20:00
There is deep power in being rooted with purpose, with intimate awareness of yourself and the currents of the intended scene. At a public play event, it is particularly important to be able to define the boundaries of both ourselves and the space for a scene, to keep that which is outside the scene outside, and mind your splash zone. In the bedroom, creating a container that is separate from the daily doldrums of life can help create more meaningful and satisfying play.
In this class we will learn techniques for being present within your own body and in the here and now for better play, as well as creating containers for fulfilling scenes.
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.

2025-07-13 10:30 - 17:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
🌈🏳️‍⚧️ For all women and all LGBTQ bodies🌈🏳️‍⚧️
🌏YOU are welcome as you are. You don’t have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.
In a world that says pleasure is pointless and our bodies are for producing results, profit, or carrying our brains around, come spend a day in the radical act of loving your body exactly the way you are, right now.
💖What if you could move your body to music in new ways, that expanded both your physical self-expression and your relationship to your erotic self?
🎶We focus on floorwork, walking, standing, crawling, mind-body connection, organic movement, improvisation, authenticity, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!
This workshop is open to all levels.
If you have taken the shorter version in the past you are especially encouraged to attend. A section of time will be set aside to address your custom wants and needs.
💞 This class is Limited to 24 students to ensure personal attention, space, and time!!!
❤️‍🔥Connect your sensual heart to your body by moving in new ways to inspiring music. We practice allowing ourselves to find our inner sensual being, gaining confidence and movement vocabulary. Flexibility, strength, and musicality are all taught in an indirect way, while we focus on your body’s desires for movement and expression. Awaken new sides of your sensual self through movement and musicality in this slow and welcoming format. Suitable for all levels and abilities.
✨This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
In the expanded day-long version of this workshop, in addition to everything above, we will also cover:

education on stretching and caring for your body in your regular life
extra focus on improvisation, and strengthening the mind body connection that allows us to be fully present in our dancing
addressing mental blocks that interrupt our musicality or take us away from the pleasure of our body in motion
how to stay fluid and in the zone while removing outer layers of clothing during movement (such as sweats or t shirts)

🚪 Doors open at 10:10am. Introductions start at 10:30pm. Doors close after opening circle, approximately 11am.

💦 BRING a bottle of water for yourself. Yes there is a refill station. If you would like to take notes, please bring your preferred materials for that.
👕 WEAR LAYERS of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body, and that help you connect with your sensual energy. How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies.
“Stripping” is NEVER required. Nudity is NOT allowed. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference.
As we warm up our bodies, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, sports bras, crop tops, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great).

2025-07-12 10:00 - 18:00 | Folsom Street Community Center, 1286 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
Whether you’re new to impact play or want to take your play to the next level, we’d love you to join us for a unique daylong impact play experience. This daylong intensive is for tops and bottoms alike who would like to deepen and refine their impact play skillset.
We’ll work together to create a unique, hands-on immersion into impact play. We’ll cover negotiation and safety, emotional engagement, ergonomics, and somatic and verbal communication for hands-on play. Through the day, you’ll learn all the basics of impact play, whether you prefer to play using your hands and fists, or using rigid toys such as paddles, canes, tawses, and some truly sadistic home-grown pervertables.
Together, we’ll explore:

Negotiation & co-creation for impact play
Ergonomics, safety, and communication
How to integrate impact play into creative, dynamic scenes
How to play with your hands: slapping, hitting, spanking, punching & more!
How to play with rigid and semi-rigid impact toys: paddles, tawses, belts, canes, and more!
Processing pain and other physical and emotional sensations
Basic aftercare and post-scene preparation
How to create, plan and manage an impact scene through our capstone make-your-own-scene exercise

Please note that we’ll concentrate on rigid and semi-rigid toys, and we will not address floggers or whips in this class.
You do not need to come with a partner, but you should come prepared to play! In the early part of the day, we’ll try a lot on ourselves. Our afternoon capstone exercise will be a scene where you’ll apply your skills in a hands-on scene with a partner.

ONLINE: Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green
2025-07-10 18:00 - 20:00
Sub drop. Top drop. “A case of the Mondays.”
Whatever we call it, post-scene drop is frustrating, irritating, and isolating. It often makes us question — at least in the moment — what was otherwise an awesome scene.
What is this awful mood we fall into after a scene, and what the heck can we do about it?
In this class, Miriam Green will draw on what we know about the neuropsychology of BDSM to help us better understand drop, and build strategies for resilience when we face it. We’ll talk about:

Common misconceptions about drop
What’s going on in the mind, brain and body
Mind-body strategies for before, during and after the scene to help us bounce back
How to change our narrative to avoid making drop worse
The best ways to effectively communicate after a scene — for good scenes and bad

You’ll come away with better self-understanding and a self-care toolkit to draw on when drop comes calling. Join us!
PRESENTER:
Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over twenty 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.

Feeling social pressure to find someone to connect with?
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.

People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
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: Impact Play 101: A Blind Top’s Perspective with Mistress Jaiyde
2025-07-03 18:00 - 20:00
Impact play is a consensual BDSM activity that involves hitting/striking another human being. Many people use this form of play for sexual gratification or in power exchange, but others use it for different reasons, including connection and catharsis. Examples of this include slapping, punching, kicking, spanking, caning, and flogging.
This is a beginners guide to impact play, and a core pillar of BDSM is safety. Topics will include but are not limited to:
• the definition of impact play
• anatomy of the human body and safety/first aid
• impact play techniques
• how to create an impact play scene.
I will also share my experiences as a blind dominant and impact player. So, let’s dive into the wonderful world of impact play.
PRESENTER:
Mistress Jaiyde (she/her) is passionate about the disability/LGBTQ communities, mental health, homelessness among LGBTQ youth, and alternative lifestyles. Born in Ohio and completely blind, she has never allowed her disability to hinder her.

The traditional definition of magick is “the art and science of changing consciousness in conformity with Will.” We could also say it’s a way of moving and transforming energy and perception. In terms of our life work, magick is a set of tools that allows us to get out of our own way to more effectively do our work in the world.
The magickian’s tool kit includes techniques such as ecstatic trance, symbolic ritual, polarity work, breathing techniques, sensual immersion, and more. The sex magickian specifically works with the energies raised in solo or partnered play as fuel for their spellwork or life Work.
Those tools should seem very familiar to us kinksters. You may not be a magickian, but most of us are playing around in the magickian’s tool kit.
This class will explore some basic information on how to understand the potent energies invoked in D/s and S/m. We’ll talk about the nature of the soul, how to engage the deeper mind, creating a safe container for a scene, and what one can do with the energies we raise in BDSM play. Whether you believe in magick, want to believe in magick, or think this is all just a fun metaphor for how the mind works, you are sure to gain new tools and perspectives on BDSM play by attending this
