SUMMARY:Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires - A Six Week Course with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION:The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out\, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires?\nThis six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). \n\n\nEngage in a journey of self-discovery\n\nThis six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). \nTogether\, we’ll explore: \nDiscovering and honoring what turns you on \nSafely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism \nTrying new skills in the bedroom and beyond \nDeepening your insights into your own desires \nDisentangling from others’ erotic projections \nFinding your voice and speaking freely \nSharing the desires you’re afraid to voice \n\nAbout Miriam Green\n\nMiriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over twenty years in the Austin\, Houston\, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community\, BDSM negotiations\, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds\, San Francisco’s leader in BDSM education and community building. \nHow we’ll engage\nThe six week course will run live from November 1 – December 14\, 2026. \nThis class will include six total weeks of content and homework\, three 90-minute live online group sessions on Monday evenings (all 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.) \nOur three 90-minute live group sessions will be offered via Zoom on Monday\, November 2; Monday\, November 23; and Monday\, December 7 – all at 6pm Pacific time. \nSessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. \nIs this course for you?\n\nDo you get stuck when asked “what do you want in intimate relationships?”\nAre you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks?\nHave you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism?\nDo you want a deep understanding of the physical and psychological responses you have to kink?\nDo you want to connect deeply with others?\n\nThen yes: this course is for you! \nPrevious students say …\n“Knowing why you do kink is the most valuable asset any kinkster can have\, moreso than any technique or toy on the market. Mir’s inclusive framework and expansive knowledge base create an amazing sandbox for players to explore what makes them tick and how to better pursue it. Whether you’ve been playing for five minutes or fifty years\, this class is a game-changer!” – Ari Can-Do \nTICKETING: \nhttps://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/p/diving-deep-discovering-and-voicing-your-desires_2026
