Hello Kinksters – A very bright and merry Solstice to those who celebrate it, and warm wishes on the holiday week ahead! This is a great time to sign up for our monthlong mindfulness & habit building challenge in January — I already have the most of the first week’s lesson plan uploaded for a sneak preview. It will be a relatively quiet next week on the live-classes front, freeing up time for some end of year reflection. Last minute gifts for the kinkster in your life — or yourself! A Wicked Grounds events pass provides unlimited access to all regular classes & events each month — classes, workshops, playshops & special events. (Everything except multi-week courses and consulting.) Most months, this works out to 15-20 events! For the first time in ten years, our class pricing will slightly increase in 2024 — making these even more valuable! Our video on-demand class Diving Deep explores how to get in touch with your own needs, wants and desires before you negotiate. (This is the original version of our class which has evolved into a six-week workshop.) Our Kink Year in Review journal is a 26-page comprehensive look back at the past year, to help you celebrate successes and learn from challenges, preparing for a your best kink year ahead! Read on for this week’s events! Memberships keep Wicked Grounds going. Join our Patreon VIP program for excellent benefits, from free and discounted classes to discounts and free shipping on gear all year round! Annual memberships now available! Events Roundup! Thursday 12/21 Celebrate the Solstice with a magick class! Join us at 6pm Pacific for Magick for Impossible People with Urban Magick author Diana Rajchel. Make some tea, bring your notebook, and take notes on magickal ideas to take to the trenches or the dinner table. Details & ticketing here for this Wicked Grounds + Magickal Crossroads class. Thursday 12/28 From being awareness of spacing and distance to setting up a play space and write advertisements for events, all kinksters can use trauma-informed mindfulness to create safer spaces. Join Ember online at 6pm Pacific for Trauma-Informed Kink For All to learn what trauma is (and what it isn’t), how it happens, about trauma dumping, trauma reactions, post-traumatic growth, secondary trauma, intergenerational/racial trauma, trauma from violence, trauma experienced by BIPOC/LGBTQIA+/minority individuals, and more. Most importantly, you’ll learn about how to create trauma aware environments for personal and community use. Details & ticketing here. Friday 12/29 Join us for a rare Friday evening class on the delights of electro play! In Sadistic or Sensual?: Developing Electro Play Scenes with Carmen Pandiego, we’ll explore how to use settings, toys, body, and pacing to set the tone for your scene, and that both creativity and intensity can come into play to develop delightful electro play scenes that will fit whatever mood or flavor of play you want. Details & ticketing here. Ongoing or upcoming events Daily: Sign up for Wicked Grounds’ Adventures in Daily Kink Journaling to receive prompts on all kink topics with bonus insights from Mir! January 2024: A daily practice can help you deepen your self-connection in general, and your ability to dive deeply into kink specifically. Join us this January to create yours in Creating and Cultivating a Daily Practice with Miriam Green. Details & ticketing here. January 29-March 15, 2024. Miriam BatAsherah Green is offering their “only every other year . . . maybe” massive class on All the Kabbalah You Really Need, this time in a six-week format. This class will almost certainly not be offered again until 2026! Details & ticketing here. February 17-March 30, 2024. Our six-week Diving Deep Intensive returns February – March 2024 dates.

We’ve just done an end-of-year review on our scholarship seats awarded. Financial accessibility is important to us, and it’s clearly important to all of you. From the beginning, we’ve made every event available on a sliding scale. Since launching scholarship seats in early 2022, we’ve been able to award just over four hundred scholarship seats to kinksters who wanted to take our classes and longer courses, but otherwise couldn’t afford it. On average, we offer 2-5 scholarship seats per class. You did that. You should be proud of it. You’re building kink communities with safer and happier players, and that benefits us all. We want to continue offering scholarships long into the future, and with your help we will! But as you know, times are very tight and we can only keep offering this service — and, quite honestly, everything else we do — with your active and engaged support. If you have the means, pay it forward now: ​Contribute to our scholarship fund via Venmo​ ​Contribute to our scholarship fund via PayPal​ Contribute to our scholarship fund via Zelle to Mir@WickedGrounds.com ​Buy scholarship seats via our website​ ​Sign up for our Patreon at one of the scholarship contribution levels to give regular, ongoing support Thank you so much for your generous support. It means the world to us, and to the many people who use this program. Cheers Mir ​

When you gift other humans scholarship seats, you’re doing more than delighting folks who couldn’t otherwise afford our classes. You’re also building a stronger community from which you benefit. When folks learn what consent is really about, and how it works, we all do better. Our parties and playshops are more fun. Everyone’s play is safer. And our community is filled with deeper, most interesting connections. Because of you, we’re able to offer almost every class and course with no one turned away for lack of funds. Want to keep us doing that? Contribute to our ​scholarship seats at WickedGrounds.com​ Sign up for one of the ​regular scholarship contribution levels via Patreon​ Contribute any amount you like via ​Venmo​, ​PayPal​ or Zelle (to this address) with a comment designating the scholarship fund Thank you so much for everything you do to keep the kink education flowing and our communities improving! xoxo Mir & the Wicked Grounds team
