Hello kinksters – We’re a flurry of activity right now, getting ready for next week’s ​Dark Odyssey: Surrender​ in San Jose and our yearly cohort of ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires​, which launches in early November. If you’re headed to Dark Odyssey, you can now see all the events from our most active local instructors posted to our FetLife events for your perusal. As of right now, DO still has full registrations and day passes available, so that you can join us – but that might change! Registration has already set a new record this year, so it’s possible the event could sell out. If you’ll be on site for Dark Odyssey, and would like to help us facilitate the opening and closing ceremonies, please reach out by replying to this email or sending us a FetLife DM! We can always use a little help with holding the space and the more the merrier. As we edge toward the end of year, things are getting spookier, as you’ll see in week’s kinky adventures . . . This Week! Thursday, October 16 Online: Ready to start exploring your local play parties, but not sure where to begin or what to expect? We’ve got you!

Saturday, October 18 Online: World Menopause Day is today, and in honor of the day we have two additional – and more specialized – classes with genderqueer menopause doula Lasara Firefox Allen. Join us at 11am Pacific for Sex-Positive Menopause for Genderqueer Folx. If you are sick of being misgendered just trying to get information about menopause – or you’re facing some very specific issues that might be different than the cis experience – this might be the menopause information you need. Advanced tix required to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Then at 2pm we’ll turn inward for a more spiritual approach in Dark Moon Menopause: Crafting a Magickal Menopause Practice. There’s a lot more to magickal practice than just the old model of maiden, mother, and crone, and Lasara Firefox Allen literally wrote the books (Sexy Witch, and later Jailbreaking the Goddess) to explore it. Let’s turn that knowledge toward creating a magickal and spiritual practice that truly embodies later life! Advanced ticketing needed to attend live or through the recording.

Whether you want to go deeper exploring your own desires, want to improve communications with partners, or want a novel way to explore scene-building, tarot can be a surprisingly powerful tool!

Hello kinksters – What a great time we had at Folsom Street Fair last weekend! Thanks so much for all the instructors, staff, volunteers, and awesome community members that made it possible – and congratulations to the kinksters and aspiring kinksters that won prizes with us! We are proud and humbled at your enthusiasm, your energy, your integrity, and your joyful willingness to step into all of who you are. Even in the week after Folsom – when I think many of us are running on fumes – my heart is truly full of love for this community. Yes, that means you. The official Leather Month has come to a close, but we are here for your kinky exploration year round. We have over twenty events in October alone, not even counting the seven events we’re running at ​Dark Odyssey: Surrender!​ This week, we have several classes & events for Bay Area folks and folks online worldwide alike. Let’s dive into it! This Week! New event passes are loaded for you! Do you want to take a LOT of classes at one low price? Our ​monthly​, ​quarterly​, and ​annual​ event passes are now available for you at WickedGroundsAnnex.com! Thursday, October 2 Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Friday, October 3 San Francisco, CA: Join us tonight in San Francisco for a special Friday night edition of Kinky Speed Friending with Psychokitty Ryan at 7pm. Advanced ticketing is required, and is available exclusively through Plura. We’ve been selling out lately, and this month we have only 13 seats left as I write this. If you want to absolutely secure your seats, ​get yours here!​ Saturday, October 4 We have two first Saturday classes in San Francisco today! San Francisco, CA: Curious about how to engage with the local kink & BDSM scene? We’ll help you connect with all the groups, resources, events, and spaces that will help you have more fun while staying safe and meeting great people in Welcome to the SF Bay Area Scene with Miriam Green at noon in downtown San Francisco. Advanced ticketing is strongly recommended. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. San Francisco, CA: Want to engage in dating, but not sure how to fit your dating life with your kink goals? We’ve heard it all, and we have some ideas! Join Miriam Green at 3pm in downtown San Francisco for a live edition of Dating While Kinky, one of our Kink 101 core classes. Advanced ticketing is recommended. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Sunday, October 5 No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Monday, October 6 Online: About half of kinksters will personally experience menopause in their lifetime, and many of the rest will be in community with menopausal folks. How do we understand and integrate this critical stage of life in ways that are sex-positive, kink-aware, and trans-inclusive? We have some thoughts! Join practicing menopause doula (and longtime kinkster) Lasara Firefox Allen tonight online for Tune In to Your Menopause Experience. Get your tickets on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​ and you can attend in person or online. If this work resonates with you, we’ll have two more classes later in the month, including one specifically for nonbinary folks! Tuesday, October 7 Online: If you’re ready to start implementing – or improving – long-term dynamics, protocols, rituals, and structure into long-term D/s and kink relationships, it’s time to join Miriam Green online tonight for KINK 201: Advanced Negotiation for Relationships & Dynamics. This online class will be recorded for all ticketholders, whether or not you’re able to attend live. Get your tickets through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Wednesday, October 8 No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Thursday, October 9 Online: Drop. Ugh, why?!?! Might have been a great scene. A date. Folsom. A kink camp event. It was great while it lasted, and now, a day (or three) later, you’re cranky, sad, exhausted or – bonus! – all of the above. We can’t promise to make drop go away entirely. But we do have some great strategies to avoid making it worse. Join our own Miriam Green 10/9 to explore Dealing With Drop. You’ll need advanced tickets from ​FT​ or ​Plura​ whether to attend live or through the recording. Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11 No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​. Sunday, October 12 Online: Let’s make your play electric – literally!
