Hello kinksters – It is that time of the week again, when we slide into your inbox with a new set of great classes and events to check out. Summer kinky camping season is in full swing. As I write this, I’m surrounded by a lot of half-packed boxes and bags getting ready for this year’s Boundless Retreat in northern California. It’s too late to get tickets for this year’s retreat, but if you’re interested in kinky campouts, there are lot of other great ones out there. Our friends at Dark Odyssey have two coming up on each US coast: ​Camp Thornwood​ near the Sierra Foothills in California is July 29 – August 3, and there’s also ​Summer Camp​ Labor Day weekend in northern Maryland. (Rumor has it there might be some Wicked Grounds themed shenanigans planned for Thornwood . . . Cold brew, anyone?! ) If you’ve never attended an event like this, I encourage you to consider it! These are wonderful immersive ways to learn, play, and connect with other folks (and nature!) in a safe, private setting. Before I get into this week’s events, I want to highlight some specially upcoming programming. I’ll be in Los Angeles July 17-19 for ​a set of weekend classes​ focused on sacred and magickal sexuality. And I’m bringing my Kink Self-Exploration Deep Dive to San Francisco on Saturday, July 25th. This is a special daylong workshop to help you unearth the desires you might be holding back due to fear, shame, people-pleasing, or otherwise feeling stuck. Let’s unstick it! Space is limited and we have only 10 spaces left, so if you’re interested, grab your space on ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​! Now, let’s dive into this week’s events: This Week! Thursday, July 9 Online: Ready to connect with your darker side? Join Lila Hades online tonight for Reclaiming Your Inner Villain: A Fantasy Roleplaying Workshop. Attend live or by recording with your advanced tickets from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11 Hopland, CA: Wicked Grounds’ Miriam Green will be teaching (and playing!) at the ​Boundless Retreat​ this weekend! Join us for a special Friday night talk on kink innovation and evolution, a caning class Saturday morning, and two morning meditation sessions on Saturday and Sunday! Ticketing is closed for this year, but if you have your tickets, we’ll see you there! Sunday, July 12 Online: Want to expand your set of ways to prepare for anal play? Join Lady V online today for Booty Bomb! Anal Prep Without Enemas. Can’t attend live? No worries! We’ll record it for viewing within seven days. Get your advanced tickets through ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​. Online: Age play can be delightful, and it can also bring up a lot of our real-life stuff. Want to navigate this better? Join us today for Trauma Informed Caregiver/Little Dynamic, Age Play & Dark Age Play with Kare Bear. Advanced tickets are required to attend live or through the recording later. Get yours through ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Monday, July 13 Online: Bottoming is a skill. For kinksters creating great edge play scenes, bottoming skills are just as critical as topping skills. Whether you’re new to edge play, or want to keep improving skills you already have, please join Laura Boyle online tonight for Bottoming Safety 201: Negotiating Edgeplay Safely as a Bottom or Submissive. Advanced tickets will allow you to attend live or through the recording. Get yours from ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​. Tuesday, July 14 Online: New to kink? You’ll need to learn to negotiate. But if you’re like most people, talking about desire and planning scenes isn’t a skill you were brought up with. Thankfully, we’ve got you. Join Miriam Green online tonight for BDSM Negotiation: From Awkward to Awesome. We’ll help you build up all the basics you’ll need to have great scenes and build trust and confidence in your play. Advanced tickets are required to attend live or through the recording. Get yours from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Wednesday, July 15 Online: Topping. Dominating. Bottoming. Submitting. Some kinksters only want one role, and that’s okay! But increasingly many if not most of my class attendees are switches. We don’t always see this reflected in classes, which is why I’m so glad that Lee Harrington is joining us online tonight to discuss Strategies for Switching. You are welcome to attend online or watch the recording within seven days with your advanced tickets from ​Plura​ or ​Forbidden Tickets​. Thursday, July 16 Online: Even if our technical skills are excellent, what we say during scenes or role play might feel awkward at first. Thankfully, dirty talk is a skill like any other, and it can be learned! Join Marla Renee Stewart with us online tonight for The Art of Dirty Talk and learn all about it! Attend live or by recording with your advanced tickets from ​Forbidden Tickets​ or ​Plura​. Friday, July 17 Los Angeles, CA: Join us for our monthly Play Lab in downtown Los Angeles! This is a monthly learning-by-doing skill share that encourages exploration, experimentation and learning in a collaborative environment. This month, we’ll explore the world of sacred sexuality and sex magick with Miriam BatAsherah Green! Learn some basic techniques of how to work with the energetic body and direct energy for sex and kinky play! Space is limited, and advanced ticketing is required. Get yours through ​Luma​, ​Forbidden Tickets​, or ​Plura​. Saturday, July 18 We offer two back-to-back sex magick classes in downtown Los Angeles today. The first focuses on sex magick theory, and the second on practical techniques for sex magick. Coming for both? Hang out between the two classes for more conversation and Q&A on all things magick! Los Angeles, CA: Join us at noon for Sex Magick for Kinksters with Miriam BatAsherah Green. We’ll cover a short history of modern sex magick, the basic theoretical underpinnings sex magick, and talk about how to effectively use sex magick to fuel the art and science

Howdy kinksters – However you plan to spend it, we hope you have a great week and get out into the great outdoors a bit this week. I myself am already dreaming of the infinity pool I’ve been told about at this year’s ​Boundless Retreat​, coming up in just over a week!

Howdy kinksters – Happy Pride weekend to our San Francisco folks! Want to hang out in person? You’ll find us in Leather Alley Sunday, as part of the Root of Pride adults-only kink friendly part of the fair. Get to meet us, learn about several other local kink organizations, and check out some great live kink and shibari performances on the Root of Pride stages, including the talented artists from ​Twisted Windows​. We’ll have some great prizes at the Wicked Grounds booth, and you can ask us anything about kink, kink education, and the local scene. We have lots of great online classes this week, as well as live classes in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Would you like to take pride in your favorite kink educators? Help us stay strong in these weird times by ​becoming a member​.

Then on Sunday, come find us in Leather Alley, where we’ll be running an information booth about kink education and probably giving away a lot of cool stuff.

Monday, June 29 No live programming today, but check out our growing list of video classes and other useful information at ​WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com​.

Howdy kinksters – I had a fantastic time last night in San Francisco watching dozens of brave kinksters connect and make new friends. As we head into this Pride month, I hope that you get out and have fun being yourself a LOT, no matter where you are in the world. We have a lot of great classes for you this week on the techniques, relationship styles and cultures that make the kink and BDSM world so vibrant. We have one live Lap Dancing Fundamentals workshop in Oakland this week, and all the other workshops are online for you to check out from anywhere! For those if you in the Bay Area, be sure to take a peek at the Intensives section! I’ve just set a date to bring our daylong Kink Self-Exploration Deep Dive to SF on July 25th, and space is limited to only 16 total attendees. This is likely to see out quick, so you might want to grab tickets early from ​FT​ or ​Plura​. Let’s take a peek at what’s going on this week, shall we? This Week! Thursday, June 11 Online: Join us online tonight for Building Confidence in the Bedroom: Own Your Energy with Dolly Diatima.
