This week with Wicked Grounds (11/14 – 11/24)

Beloved kinksters –

I was delighted last night to see a nearly full house at our Kinky Speed Friending and Dating in San Francisco. Right now more than ever, I think we need connection and community. We need to know who values sex-positive culture just as much as we do. And we need to be in places where we can truly be ourselves.

Wherever you are, I hope you’re finding that sense of connection. If you’re not, I hope you’ll let us help!

Just need to talk? Never hesitate to reach out for coaching. I have a few hours each week set aside to help individual clients with their personal journeys, goals, and challenges.

You’re in luck if you’re up for gaining new skills this week. We have a great flogging class online, a live rope class in the SF Bay Area, and much more.

Whatever you’re feeling this week, all of what you’re feeling this week, please make some space and be gentle with yourselves.

Upcoming multi-week workshops to plan for!

Join us in January for a full Month of Mindfulness with daily meditation sessions, journaling, habit-building and more with a focus on making more space for kinky, queer, and other sex-positive folks. Learn more and sign up with our sliding scale here, at rates starting at low as $1/day.

If you’d like to go deeply into the intersection of magick and power, join us in February and early March for Pentacles of Power: A Sex-Magick Intensive for Kinky People. You absolutely don’t need to be kinky to practice sex magick. But if you are kinky, that’s going to change the way you think about power, polarity, ritual, and more. There are only a few instructors teaching at this intersection, and this is the first time Miriam Green will share personal practices they’ve been developing for nearly twenty years. Find more information and registration here.

This week!

Monday 11/18

Want to get started with flogging, or take your skills to the next level? Join Miss Mackenzee online at 6pm Pacific for Flogging With Style: From Basics to Brilliance. Advance ticketing required. Get yours from Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Tuesday 11/19

If you’re in the SF Bay Area, join us Tuesday evening at 6:30pm for Getting Started with Rope Bondage with Psychokitty Ryan. We’ll meet at the Folsom Street Community Center to get you grounded in all the fundamentals: basic safety, what rope to use, where to tie, and everything you need to know for your first single- and double-column ties, which are the fundamental building blocks for most eastern-style rope bondage. Advance ticketing strongly recommended. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Wednesday 11/20

Join Lady V and Jamie Love online at 6pm Pacific for Gender Affirming Intimacy. Let’s talk about Trans & Gender Expansive bodies, the multiple forms of intimacy, creating euphoria through affirming language, and adapting to different forms of sexual & non-sexual touch. Perhaps right now more than ever, it’s time to uplift and delight our trans and gender-expansive play partners and allies. Let’s talk about it! Advance tickets required through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Thursday 11/21

Online tonight at 6pm Pacific, explore Voyeurism and Exhibitionism: Thrill of the Spotlight and Shadows with Lilith Foxx. This new skill requires no toys, but there is a lot to explore to make this kind of play fun, safe, and respectful for everyone involved. Let’s talk about it! Advance tickets required through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
