This Week with Wicked Grounds (10/9 – 10/19)

Hello kinksters –

This autumn is stuffed with opportunities for kink education and connection!

If you’re headed to ​Dark Odyssey: Surrender​ this month in San Jose, we’ll see you there! We are running several classes, rituals, and self-care events, so check the schedule for offerings from Miriam Green and impossiblepain, as well as our other regular educators like Lee Harrington, Alexandria from Click Your Heels, and Psychokitty Ryan.

Our yearly cohort of Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires launches in early November. Every year we embark on an intensive journey of self-exploration in a supportive group setting with three group coaching sessions, one or more individual coaching sessions with me, and lots of guided individual exploration each week. If you’d like to join us, ​find out more and register here​.

Now, let’s take a look at this week’s kinky adventures!

This Week!

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! If you’ve been curious about or are getting started with violet wands, you’ll want to join us today for Violet Wands 101 with Electro Girly. Advanced ticketing is required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Too advanced for the 101 class? Don’t fret! We will offer ​Violet Wands 102 with Electro Girly​ on 11/15!

Monday, October 13

No live classes today. Check out our on-demand video classes and digital downloads at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​.

Tuesday, October 14

Online: Are you permenopausal, menopausal, or post-menopausal? Do you feel like the regular discourse around the changes to your body and life don’t always include your authentic sexual experiences as a kinky person? You might want tonight’s class Tune In to Your Menopause Experience with kink-aware, polyamorous, and genderqueer menopause doula Lasara Firefox Allen. Let’s talk about what’s really going on, and how to coast it without fighting it. This class is also open to supportive others who want to know more! Advanced ticketing required to attend live and/ or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Wednesday, October 15

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! Join Princess Rara from Pink Kink online tonight for Dungeons Demystified: Navigating Etiquette, Attire, and Atmosphere in BDSM Spaces. We’ll get you feeling prepared to navigate these spaces with ease! Advanced ticketing required whether to attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

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. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Sunday, October 19

Online: Want to take your partner (or yourself) to the edge? Ready to learn more about the P-spot and how to enjoy it? Join Lady V at 11am Pacific for Edge of Glory: P-Spot & Cock Edging. Advanced tickets will allow you to either attend live or within one week through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Online: Emotional sadism and masochism takes skill, from bottoms and tops alike – but we don’t always hear the full spectrum of skills that the bottom brings to the table. Let’s change that! Join us today at 2pm Pacific for Baring Your Emotional Jugular: Active Bottoming For Emotional Sadism Play with SuspendDisbelief to take your skills to the next level. Advanced tix required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.
