SUMMARY:ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s with Sinclair Sexsmith
DESCRIPTION:Making rules\, tasks\, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start\, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces\, and how to maintain the strict container. \nWe’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement\, such as the cartography of control areas\, the protocol game\, and levels of protocol. Ultimately\, protocol is all about creating adjustable\, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. \nPRESENTER: \nSINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch\, a leather dominant\, and a writer\, focusing on individual\, interpersonal\, and institutional systems of power. They study dominance and submission\, social & restorative justice\, the energetic body\, trauma\, and transformation. They have been in the kink communities since 1999\, and orchestrate transformative kink scenes through written erotica and ritual practice. They actively explore the philosophies of power exchange and the practicalities of sustainable\, long term D/s. As a leather community member\, titleholder\, and organizer\, Sinclair has presented and performed 200+ times at 75+ venues\, including International Ms. Leather\, Dark Odyssey\, SXSW\, Harvard\, and Oz Kink Fest. Their short story collection\, Sweet & Rough: Queer Kink Erotica\, was a 2016 finalist for a Lambda Literary Award\, and they have edited 7 queer erotica anthologies; their latest book is Daddy4Daddy: Queer Kink Erotica.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Listening with Empathy with Master Retro Bella
DESCRIPTION:One of the most common traits among failed scenes\, negotiations\, and contract discussions is misunderstanding the intent behind a verbal statement. Oftentimes the intent is buried behind “under talk” and lack of trust. This can be particularly challenging when communication is already at a standstill. Join me as we explore how to regain trust and relearn how to listen with empathy. \nIn this class\, we will be covering: \n\nWhat is “Under talk” and how can we recognize it in our speech\nReading body language or the lack of body language\nLearning how to become a more empathic person\nRebuilding trust after a communication break down\nHow to create a safe place for private talks\n\nPRESENTER: \nMaster Retro Bella is a Latina High Femme Master and Leather woman from Bakersfield\, California. Her pronouns are She/Her/Hers. She is the first woman to earn the title of 2023 Southwest Master and became the first person of Latin descent to hold the 2024 International Master title. She is passionate about Latinx/ne representation in M/s and Leather spaces. This passion fueled her to create the Latine Leather Pride flag\, which debuted at South Plains Leatherfest in 2025\, and to become the founder of Latinos in Leather. Recognized as one of the Onyx Pearls’ “Young 8\,” she carries the pearl name Amara Pearl. Currently\, Master Retro Bella curates the Latinx Queer Chronicles on Substack\, which showcases the intersectionality of queerness and Latinidad. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/412287efca

SUMMARY:ONLINE: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin 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: \n\nNegotiation styles\nPre-scene negotiations\nHow to negotiate without killing the mood\nChecking in during and after the scene\nNegotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics\n\nDrawing 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. \nPRESENTER: \nMiriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over one dozen years in the Austin\, Houston and San Francisco scenes.

SUMMARY:Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires - A Six Week Course with Miriam Green

This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). \n\n\nEngage in a journey of self-discovery\n\nThis six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them.
