Hello kinksters – Yesterday, I published the first week of homework for Diving Deep, my six-week online intensive about getting really clear on — and then manifesting — our kink, erotic, and relationship desires. This will be our third year running this work as an intensive, and it’s been life changing for dozens of attendees so far. I’m truly grateful for this container of work, and I’ve seen several graduates completely transform their lives inside of kink and beyond with the tools we explore. If you’d like to join us, there is still time — but not much! Our first week of self-directed homework is already published, and we go deeply into the first two weeks of work in a 6pm Pacific live session Monday. At 5pm Pacific on Monday, registration will close until autumn of 2026. If you’d like to find out more, ​you can look at the class listing on Teachable​, or keep reading below. xo Mir Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires with Miriam Green a six-week online intensive via Teachable and Zoom November 2 – December 13, 2025 ​Advance ticketing required. Get yours here!​ Registration closes at 5pm Pacific Monday November 3 The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into immediate challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires? This six-week online intensive is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. Since 2023, we’ve been helping kinksters just like you create their own erotic roadmaps and advocate for their needs and wants. Together, we’ll explore: Discovering and honoring what turns you on Safely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism Trying new skills in the bedroom and beyond Deepening your insights into your own desires Disentangling from others’ erotic projections Finding your voice and speaking freely Sharing the desires you’re afraid to voice How we’ll engage The six week course will run live from November 2 to December 13, 2025. This class will include six total weeks of content and homework, three 90-minute live online group sessions (recorded for later participation if needed), and at least one half-hour individual consult with instructor Miriam Green. (Our class tiers include the option to add more consulting for your own journey.) Our three live sessions will be offered via Zoom on three Monday evenings in November and early December, starting November 3. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. Ticketed participants will have access to the course materials weekly as they are provided and will have the ability to participate at their own pace, attending the live sessions in real time or online at their convenience. ​​Tickets are available here, and space is limited.​​ Pricing plans are available for additional accessibility.

Hello kinksters – Tomorrow is Halloween! We hope you have a great time, however you spend it! I (Mir) spent last weekend at Dark Odyssey: Surrender in San Jose. The event had record attendance this year, and I dove right into several events I was leading or co-leading as well as my own personal adventures in learning. (I’m recommitting to my rope explorations this year!) I am returning very grateful for deep conversations, cuddle with old friends, long scenes, lots of magick, and reconnecting with creative kinksters from our other Bay Area kink organizations. If you get a chance to do one of the Dark Odyssey events in California or the Baltimore/ DC area, don’t miss it! This is truly a life-changing and kink-deepening event. Speaking of deepening: our yearly cohort of ​Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires​ launches this weekend, with our first live session on Monday, November 3. If you’re planning to join us for this six-week adventure into building your own erotic roadmap, now is the time. This intensive is perfect for anyone who is at a new stage of their own kink journey.
