Howdy kinksters –
It’s Leather Month! Yay! We hope to see you at our Wicked Grounds Booth at Folsom Street Fair — RSVP to let friends know you’re coming, and get the booth location details as soon as we have them.
And we are just three weeks away from launching the fall cohort of our six-week intensive Diving Deep: Discovering and Voicing Your Erotic Desires. Space is limited, and with Folsom just weeks before our launch, our fall cohort always sells out. If you want to get the ticketing tier with four consult sessions, please book early! To appropriately manage our time, we usually close that tier early.
Read on for this week’s events, and plan ahead by checking out all our ticketed events.
This week!

Monday 9/16
Great scenes start with great negotiations! I don’t know about your sex education, but most of us didn’t learn how to have a great consent and negotiation discussion when growing up. There are some key skills we can build to cocreate great scenes and stay connected throughout them.

Wednesday 9/18

Thursday 9/19
Whether you’ve been in the scene for decades, or you’re brand new, it is vital to know about consent, and you can never explore too many perspectives! We’d love to see you tonight for Consent: The Ins and Outs with Nyx Lunaea. We’ll go over what consent looks like in vanilla and BDSM spaces, why it matters, and how you can implement it in your daily lives! All weeknight online classes launch at 6pm Pacific. Get your advance tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
Saturday 9/21
This weekend, we are offering two critical perspectives on neurodivergence and kink. Join us Saturday at 2pm Pacific for Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence with Adam and Draven. How does neurodivergence affect consent mistakes, incidents, and violations? How does it affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability at the personal, interpersonal, and community levels? You’ll learn all this and more in this critical online class! Get your tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
Sunday 9/22
Join us at 11am Pacific for our extremely popular class Autism & Kink with London-based BDSM educator John Pendal. In this workshop we look at the overlap of autism and kink. This workshop isn’t just for autistic folk, it can help anyone who feels like an outsider or would like to create a more inclusive environment. Get your advance tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
