This Week with Wicked Grounds (7/2 – 7/12)

July 2, 2026 By Miriam Green

Howdy kinksters –

However you plan to spend it, we hope you have a great week and get out into the great outdoors a bit this week. I myself am already dreaming of the infinity pool I’ve been told about at this year’s ​Boundless Retreat​, coming up in just over a week!

It’s also the beginning of the month, which means it’s a great time to get class passes to help you super-charge your kink explorations. You may choose from a ​July​ pass, ​quarterly​, or even ​annual​. You can get these at any time, but the start of the month definitely gives you the widest selection of events to choose from.

Speaking of which, we have a lot going on this week for you. Let’s dive in!


This Week!

Thursday, July 2 through Sunday, July 5

Please be safe and have fun this weekend.

No live programming this weekend, but check out our growing list of video classes and other useful information at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​.

Monday, July 6

Online: You want a way to keep up with events and meet new people, but not all social networks are built the same! If you want to keep up with other kinksters through apps like FetLife and Plura, but you’re not sure how to make the most of them, join us tonight for “What’s Your FetLife?” Managing Social Media Profiles for Kinksters with Miriam Green. You’ll learn all about privacy, etiquette, and features to help you make the most out of the sex-positive online world. Advanced tickets required to attend live or by recording. Get yours from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Tuesday, July 7

Online: Ready to start implementing more long-term dynamics, rituals and protocols into your relationship? Let’s talk about how to negotiate for it! Join us online tonight (or by recording all week) for KINK 201: Advanced BDSM Negotiations- Relationships, Dynamics, & Contracts with Miriam Green. Advance tickets required to watch this session live or by recording. Get yours through ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​.

Wednesday, July 8

San Francisco, CA: San Francisco Bay Area folks! Are you ready to meet a lot of new friends and potential partners, fast? Join us tonight in downtown San Francisco for Kinky Speed Friending! This event – ​ticketed only via Plura​ – often sells out days in advance, so we recommend ticketing early!

Thursday, July 9

Online: Ready to connect with your darker side? Join Lila Hades online tonight for Reclaiming Your Inner Villain: A Fantasy Roleplaying Workshop. Attend live or by recording with your advanced tickets from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11

Hopland, CA: Wicked Grounds’ Miriam Green will be teaching (and playing!) at the ​Boundless Retreat​ this weekend! Join us for a special Friday night talk on kink innovation and evolution, a caning class Saturday morning, and two morning meditation sessions on Saturday and Sunday!

Sunday, July 12

Online: Want to expand your set of ways to prepare for anal play? Join Lady V online today for Booty Bomb! Anal Prep Without Enemas. Can’t attend live? No worries! We’ll record it for viewing within seven days. Get your advanced tickets through ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​.

Online: Age play can be delightful, and it can also bring up a lot of our real-life stuff. Want to navigate this better? Join us today for Trauma Informed Caregiver/Little Dynamic, Age Play & Dark Age Play with Kare Bear. Advanced tickets are required to attend live or through the recording later. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.
