This Week with Wicked Grounds (4/25 – 5/5)

April 25, 2024 By admin

Howdy kinksters – One of the things I love most about my role at Wicked Grounds is watching new kinds of play and hearing new voices emerge over time, while watching others deepen and extend their work over time. Looking forward to the summer, we’re welcoming new voices like Lady V and Jamie Joy, while also showcasing some folks like Janet Hardy who were essential to my own early kink and polyamory journey. New kinks, too! Lady V is bringing the whole farm into animal play this week, and hay! We’re here for it! Speaking of new classes, our own Kink Class Incubator launches next Wednesday for a full month of self-directed and live group work to either get you started teaching or take what you already do well to the next level. I encourage you to sign up here! And as we go into the first week of May, a reminder that the best way to get a lot of classes is to get a monthly event pass. Read on for an update on this week’s events! Events Roundup! Thinking ahead Ever struggled with feelings of being “too” much this or “not enough” that as you explore your queer identity? Believe it or not, this is very common and most of us have been there! Join us in June for Stepping Into Pride a six-week online workshop to develop our own personal values, goals and identities within the LGBTQ+ community. We’ve also just set the dates for our fall Diving Deep cohort, and early ticketing is open now. Find out more here. Thursday, April 25 You’ve cleaned your house. You’ve gotten your gardening ready. How about your energy? Our energetic bodies also need a little spring cleaning to change speeds for the summer. Learn more in this class in partnership with Magickal Crossroads, Inner Spring Cleaning with Energy Work with Diana Rajchel. Advance ticketing required. Get yours here! Friday, April 26 Curious about our BDSM & kink coaching, but not sure if it’s right for you? Today, I’ll offer a series of free 10-minute calls to talk through your questions and see if it makes sense for us to collaborate on a longer coaching session or series. Book ten minutes with me at no cost, right here! Saturday, April 27 No live classes today, but if you’d like to catch a prerecorded class with us, I’d love to recommend our short version class of Diving Deep: Discovering and Voicing Your Kink Desires, which is the perfect companion to our Kink Self-Discovery Workbook. Sunday, April 28 Curious about our BDSM & kink coaching, but not sure if it’s right for you? Today, I’ll offer a series of free 10-minute calls to talk through your questions and see if it makes sense for us to collaborate on a longer coaching session or series. Book ten minutes with me at no cost, right here! Monday, April 29 New instructor to Wicked Grounds! Want to explore a new and different kind of animal role play? Come check out Be Legen-dairy! Intro to Hucow & Bovine Play online today at 6pm Pacific with Lady V. Moo-ve get out the hay! Discover ways to create a unique headspace, explore multiple roles, implement many forms of play, & learn about multiple milking methods to fill you with udder pleasure! Cowboys/girls & cows have become all the rage in fashion & even in the bedroom. This class gives ideas on how to rocket into udder space. Advance ticketing required. Get yours here! Tuesday, April 30 What goes up must come down. But coming down doesn’t always feel great. Let’s take some time to learn about drop: what is it, why does it happen, why does it suck so much, and what can we do about it? Armed with these tools, you’ll be prepared to have more fun in your future BDSM scenes and other deep play, knowing that you have the tools to take care of yourself and your partner in the days to follow. Join us at 6pm Pacific online for Dealing with Drop, with Wicked Grounds’ own Miriam Green. Advance ticketing required. Get yours here! Wednesday, May 1 Delaying or denying orgasm can build the most delicious tension. Controlling when your partner gets to orgasm can inspire desperate devotion. But to realize orgasm denial’s full erotic potential, there’s a lot more to it than just saying “no.” In tonight’s online class with Anton Fulmen, learn how to drive your partner into a frustrated frenzy with the right combination of teasing, edging and firm control. Join us tonight for Wait for It – the Art of Orgasm Denial. Advance ticketing required – don’t deny yourself, get yours now! Calling all kink instructors, and would-be kink instructors. Join us for a five-week journey to develop or improve one class while learning new strategies that will help you with understanding your audience, developing your voice, and improving your reach. Details & ticketing for our five-week Kink Class Incubator here. Thursday, May 2 D/s relationships or dynamics are inherently based on difference. Though we intentionally seek out differences in power and role, how do we navigate differences in religion and spirituality? In Interfaith D/s, we’ll first look at principles of interfaith work. Next we’ll think about how this work shows up in our D/s relationships and dynamics, including how to be allies to those of other faiths. Last, we’ll explore “cross over” moments when we can all show up in the fullness of our faith (or lack thereof.) Join us tonight online at 6pm Pacific for Interfaith D/s with Ev Evnen. Both individuals and partner groups and D-types and S-types are welcome to attend. Advance ticketing required. Get yours here! Friday, May 3 No classes today, but you can always check out our video class Private Joy: Sadomasochism for Solo and Distance Play on your own time! Saturday, May 4 If you’re interested in exploring the public BDSM scene in San Francisco, today is your day! Join us at our space in downtown San Francisco for Welcome to the Scene from noon – 2pm.
