Hello kinksters – The sun is coming back, outdoor kink events are on the horizon, and we are looking forward to the warmth and camaraderie. These continue to be strange times, particularly for those of us dedicated to sexual self-awareness and self-expression. On years like this, we like to remember that “the first Pride was a riot,” and we keep recommitting to being here for our queer, trans, polyamorous, and sexually adventurous friends. The absolutely wrong thing to do in times like these is to acquiesce in advance. Instead, we’ll keep offering classes and resources in easy times and hard ones. If you’re an educator or aspiring educator looking for strategies to get through these very weird times, perhaps you’d like to join us for our annual Kink Class Incubator, which will launch on Monday, 5/5 ​through our site on Teachable​. We’d love to have you join us. This week! Friday 4/25 through Sunday 4/27 We don’t have any live classes this weekend, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes or even explore one on one coaching at ​Wicked Grounds Annex​. Monday 4/28 Join us online tonight at 6pm Pacific for Unlocking Euphoria: Navigating Subspace Together with Miss Mackenzee. This class can be attended live, or you can get tickets in advance to watch the class at any point during the week. Get your advanced tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Tuesday 4/29 and Wednesday 4/30 We don’t have any live classes on these days, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes or even explore one on one coaching at ​Wicked Grounds Annex​. Thursday 5/1 Hurray! Hurray! It’s the first of May! Outdoor shenanigans start today! Join us tonight online at 6pm for Compersion in Non-Monogamy: Myths, Realities, and Possibilities with Marie Thouin. This class can be watched live or later by recording. Get your advanced tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Friday 5/2 No live classes tonight, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes or even explore one on one coaching at ​Wicked Grounds Annex​. Saturday 5/3 Curious about exploring the world of classes, munches, play parties, maybe even one of those outdoor kinky camping adventures? Join us today for Welcome to the Public Kink Scene with Miriam Green starting at 11am Pacific. Get your advanced tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Sunday 5/4 Almost all parts of the body are ripe targets for BDSM play. Why not the hair and scalp? Join us online this morning for Fatal Follicles: Hair Pulling for Harlots! with Lady V and learn how to do hair-pulling right for sensation play and control. This online class will be recorded, so you can watch live or see the recording later in the week, as long as you have advanced tickets first. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. If you’re in San Francisco, and want to get much more in touch with your embodied resilience and power, consider joining us for the The Embodied Feminine Daylong Intensive (by Click Your Heels). This daylong workshop is appropriate for anyone who wants to get in touch with their own sense of feminine energy. Please read the ticketing in detail to see if this work calls to you! Details and ticketing through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Monday 5/5 Getting started as a kink and BDSM educator? Or perhaps you’re a long-time educator looking for more inspiration on how to develop and market your classes? Today is the first day of our annual five-week Kink Class Incubator! Join us for the one class each year that is most likely to pay for itself. 😉 This five-week journey is ticketed through and administered at our ​Wicked Grounds Annex​ site on Teachable. Support. Follow. Share. Join our ​Patreon​ for personal benefits and to stabilize our long-term trajectory. Annual memberships now available! Book ​with us​ for coaching and consulting time with Mir. Use our ​Venmo​ for one-time donations toward our sustainability, and to help specifically with scholarship tickets. Warmly, Mir & The Wicked Grounds Team (Do you find this weekly roundup helpful?

Hello kinksters – Happy “oh so many holidays!” week. Passover! Hunky Jesus in the Park with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence! Earth Day! And 4/20! No matter what you celebrate (or don’t!), we wish you a very festive week. We have a few ways to make it even better. For those of you who will be out enjoying the weekend, don’t forget that (with very few – and noted – exceptions) our classes are recorded to watch within ten days of the class date. Just get your tickets in advance, and we’ll get the recording link out to your email about a day after the class happens. Easy! This week! Thursday 4/17 through Friday 4/18 We don’t have any live classes today, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes at ​Wicked Grounds Annex​. Saturday 4/19 Join us online at 11am Pacific for Crafting A Psycho-Emotive Ritual Scene with Keiden Bren. Learn what you need to make your scenes fully immersive and engaging in this online class. Can’t attend live? We’ll record this class to watch on demand throughout the week. Advanced ticketing is required. Get yours on ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​. Sunday 4/20 We heard today was the high holidays, and we booked three classes for the season, all online. All three classes can be attended live or watched later in the week on demand, but you must get your tickets before the class time to get the recording. Join us at 11am Pacific for The High Life: Cannabis, Intimacy, and Kink with Miss Mackenzee. With many people using cannabis for recreation or medicine, it’s important to think about how this impacts our intimacy, sexuality, and play. Let’s be more safe and have more fun! Get your advanced tickets on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​ and you can watch this class live or later in the week on demand. Then at 2pm Pacific, join Lilithfoxx for Blunt Talk: Boundaries and Consent While Using Cannabis. Good boundaries and good consent are critical for all kinds of play, not just because they keep us safe but also because they actually allow us to be more present and have more fun when we are playing. Get your advanced tickets on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. And finally at 4:20pm Pacific: you’ve heard of cigar service, but why not apply that to blunts and cannabis? Join us for a unique look at service play in Canna Service with Auntie Vice. Advanced tickets are required. Get yours on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Monday 4/21 Great negotiation makes for scenes that are safer, more connective, and frankly much hotter. When we negotiate well, we can fully immerse ourselves in play. So let’s build the skills and background to understand how negotiation works best! Join Miriam Green online tonight at 6pm Pacific for Kink 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics. You’ll need advanced tickets, so get those through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Tuesday 4/22 Want to explore Daddy play but not sure where to start (or how to put all those taboos at bay)? Join Sinclair Sexsmith online tonight at 6pm Pacific for Daddy 101: Building the Foundation, and learn the allure and best practices for this kind of play. Please note that this class will not be recorded, and will be live-attendance only! Get your advanced tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Wednesday 4/23 You’ve planned hot role play, you have the scene all mapped out, you even made a playlist. What about the costuming?! The more immersive elements we can build into our play, the deeper we’ll go. Explore some great ways to elevate how to use clothing (or the lack of it!) in your scenes in tonight’s online class Dressed & UnDressed: Playing With Wardrobe with HG Wyndell. You’ll need advanced ticketing for this one. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Thursday 4/24 Curious about threesomes? Want to make them better, more fun, and less complicated? Join Lilithfoxx tonight online for Finding the Unicorn: Navigating the World of Threesomes and expand your horizons! Advanced tickets required for this 6pm Pacific class. Hunt for yours on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Friday 4/25 through Sunday 4/27 We don’t have any live classes this weekend, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes at ​Wicked Grounds Annex​. Support. Follow. Share.

Hello kinksters – First, a quick note! We are having some really annoying issues with our ​Wicked Grounds Annex​ site this week relating to how your browser finds the page. (Note to our many technical friends – we already have Teachable, Cloudflare and GoDaddy looking at it – but if you work for one of those companies, feel free to ping me!) tl;dr: the site is working, but your computer will have a hard time finding it without the archaic “www” in front of the address. If you have been trying to book coaching or get a digital download over there and can’t get the page to pull up, try that! Or, you can find the full site at this address: ​https://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/​. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resolve this soon! I’ve changed any links in the section below to fix this. 🙂 We have some very fun things lined up for your this week! On Sunday, we’re offering a unique daylong intensive in SF focused on non-verbal communication skills for D/s scenes and relationships. These are critical skills that I haven’t seen taught in this way elsewhere. ​Check it out!​. My advice? Start the day with the SF Fetish Flea at Stopgap to get some great toys, and then come on over to our all-day class. For the very verbal side of D/s, we’ll also offer ​Improv for Naughty Play​ in SF on Tuesday! The week ends with 4/20, and we have your classes for the day fully baked. We are offering three online classes on cannabis and kink on Sunday 4/20, and you won’t want to miss these. This week! Thursday 4/10 Feeling down. A case of the Mondays.

We’ve done a lot of thinking about this and are delighted to offer you Improv for Naughty Play with Psychokitty, in which we’ll explore some basic improv techniques that will help you co-create interesting scenes with your partners in real time.
