This Week with Wicked Grounds (3/12 – 3/22)

Howdy kinksters –

March is off to a great start and just getting better! We are almost done building out the full calendar through April, so keep your eyes peeled for a new full events roster to drop this weekend.

Next weekend, Wicked Grounds is doing a takeover at the FWB Playhouse in downtown Los Angeles! You can see all the classes below in this week’s roster. This also kicks off an ongoing set of LA classes for us, with a monthly Play Lab and other classes from our favorite instructors. If you know kinksters in the LA area, do us a favor and point them to this week’s newsletter to stay in touch!

Wherever you are in the world, we hope you’ll join us in just a couple of weeks for the Dom/ Sub Dynamics Virtual Summit from March 23 – 26. ​Registration for live attendance is free though this link​, and includes dozens of live talks – including my talk on navigating the public kink community on March 24th. There’s also an opportunity to upgrade to a VIP package for a small fee, and that gets you access to the full conference forever, plus a lot of extra swag from all the presenters.

Now, let’s take a look at this week.

This Week!

Thursday, March 19

Online: There are lots of ways to creatively apply shibari and rope to the body, but most classes focus on the torso and limbs. Tonight is different!

Advanced ticketing required to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.

Friday, March 20

Los Angeles, CA: Join us tonight in downtown Los Angeles for our first monthly Play Lab! Something like a rope jam for all kinds of play, our monthly Play Labs include short topical tutorials, lots of practice time for that month’s technique, in a relaxed and social environment. This month, we’ll explore impact play with guest instructor Miriam Green. Advanced ticketing is required, so get yours through ​Luma​. If you’re in LA and want to keep up with all the monthly events, we’ve also created a FetLife group to keep up with us! Just search “Los Angeles Play Lab” to find it on Fet!

Saturday, March 21

Los Angeles, CA: For over a decade, Wicked Grounds has taught classes on navigating the public kink scene, both in a local version for the SF Bay Area and a national version online. Now, we’re launching a new version of the class specifically for the rich kink scene in the Los Angeles metro area! Join us at Noon in DTLA for Welcome to the LA Kink Scene with Miriam Green and Killmeat Nick! We’ll help you learn the basics of kink scene culture and etiquette, the specific resources the Los Angeles area has to offer, and everything you need to know to rock your first class, munch, or play party! Advanced ticketing required through ​Luma​, so get those now!

Los Angeles, CA: Making the most of our experience in kink involves self-awareness and understanding our own reactions – but like all peak experiences, going deep in kink can unearth emotions and experiences we didn’t expect. In This is Your Brain On Kink, our own Miriam Green explores the neuropsychology of kink, and how it impacts experiences such as the intensity of our scenes, frenzy, new relationship energy, and drop. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how to work with your energy and emotions throughout your kink journey! Advanced ticketing required through ​Luma​ to attend.

Sunday, March 22

Los Angeles, CA: Join us in downtown Los Angeles today for Kink Exploration Deep-Dive: A Daylong Intensive with Miriam Green. This class is designed for any kinkster who is ready to go deeper into self-awareness and unearthing their own personal erotic movement. You’ll learn how to uncover your kinky needs – and how to ask for what you want! – in this daylong experience. Whether you’re new to kink, going through a transition in your life, feeling a bit stuck, or just want to go deeper, this is the mini retreat for you! Advanced ticketing required through ​Luma​.

Online: This afternoon, we offer part two of Energy Persona Mastery with Sir Scott. If you’d like to join us in progress, it’s okay – we already recorded the first session for you! Just get your tickets before the second session to attend live or through the recording. You can do that through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​.
