LA: Wicked Grounds: This is Your Brain on Kink (Any Questions?)
2026-03-21 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
While our relationships with kink are deeply personal and sometimes idiosyncratic, the neuroscience of peak experiences can tell us a lot about what we all have in common. Learning about what happens in our brains when we play can lead to better communication and better scenes.
​Together, we’ll explore:

​The four major neurotransmitters behind building a kink headspace

​How and why edgeplay makes even well-planned scenes less predictable

​How to stay in communication before, during, and after each scene

​What to know when negotiating for relationships

​The causes of post-scene drop, and how to deal with drop when it occurs

​PRESENTER:
​​Miriam Green (they/ them) is the owner of Wicked Grounds and has been teaching in BDSM for over one dozen years for Wicked Grounds, Society of Janus, Foundations, Dark Odyssey, and other local and national BDSM organizations. Mir has been in the public BDSM scene for nearly 20 years in Austin, Houston, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
​​TICKETING:
​​Tickets: $20 – $50 in advance, or $30 – $60 at the door. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford.
​​The regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay.
​​We offer multiple price points, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance.
​​ACCESS:
​​Exact location details revealed upon registration, FWB is located in Downtown Los Angeles.
​​Please do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever. Anyone displaying signs of respiratory symptoms may be asked to leave, regardless of vaccination status.
​​This event is an inclusive, queer, and sex-positive safe space.

LA: Wicked Grounds: Kink Exploration Deep-Dive: A Daylong Intensive
2026-03-22 10:00 - 17:00 | CA
​Whether you’re new to exploring BDSM play or are an experienced player looking to go deeper, we invite you to join us for a special daylong BDSM intensive in downtown Los Angeles! Miriam Green will be leveraging a dozen years of kink education and coaching to dive deeply into refining your personal kink roadmap and how to get the most out of your kink journey.
​Throughout the day, we will cover:

​Discovering and honoring what turns you on

​Disentangling from others’ erotic projections

​Safely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism

​Troubleshooting common challenges in communication

​Managing ecstasy, frenzy, and drop

​Trying new skills in the bedroom and beyond

​Finding your voice and speaking freely

​Sharing the desires you’re afraid to voice

​This work will be completely accessible to brand new players, while deeply valuable for experienced kinksters.
​The day’s format
​We will meet from 10am – 5pm in a private downtown workshop space. The day’s work will be a mixture of lecture style, discussion, and a couple of breakout sessions. You will go home with optional homework!
​Please bring a notebook, pens, snacks, and a prepared sack lunch. We will have two 10-minute breaks and one 45-minute lunch break throughout the day.
​Previous students say:
​”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

Feeling social pressure to find someone to connect with?
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.

People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.
PRESENTER:
Ryan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender, or hosting events at the SF Citadel, Catalyst, and of course Wicked Grounds.
ACCESS:
In SF, this event will be held at Trellis. Please note that doors will close quickly so we recommend arriving 15 minutes before the event starts for check-in.
We cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun), so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded.
Please do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever. Anyone displaying signs of respiratory symptoms may be asked to leave, regardless of vaccination status.

Info for Students:
Please bring a bottle of water for yourself. We recommend bringing a sack lunch and snacks, but there are some limited food options in the neighborhood.

Sex Magick for Kinksters with Miriam Green

Sex Magick for Kinksters
with Miriam Green
Desert Dominion, 3843 East 37th Street Tucson, Arizona
5/28 7pm Mountain
Ticketing will be available at the door — please arrive early for ticketing and hanging out before the class!
—
The traditional definition of magick is “the art and science of changing consciousness in conformity with Will.” We could also say it’s a way of moving and transforming energy and perception. In terms of our life work, magick is a set of tools that allows us to get out of our own way to more effectively do our work in the world.
The magickian’s tool kit includes techniques such as ecstatic trance, symbolic ritual, polarity work, breathing techniques, sensual immersion, and more. The sex magickian specifically works with the energies raised in solo or partnered play as fuel for their spellwork or life Work.
Those tools should seem very familiar to us kinksters. You may not be a magickian, but most of us are playing around in the magickian’s tool kit.
This class will explore some basic information on how to understand the potent energies invoked in D/s and S/m. We’ll talk about the nature of the soul, how to engage the deeper mind, creating a safe container for a scene, and what one can do with the energies we raise in BDSM play. Whether you believe in magick, want to believe in magick, or think this is all just a fun metaphor for how the mind works, you are sure to gain new tools and perspectives on BDSM play by attending this class!
Presenter
Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for twenty years in the Austin, Houston, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of kink classes online and in person throughout the Southwestern US. As an initiated witch and ceremonial magickian, Mir has been teaching to magickal communities since long before teaching on kink. They also are the owner of BDSM and kink education company Wicked Grounds.

Feeling social pressure to find someone to connect with?
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.

People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.
PRESENTER:
Ryan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender, or hosting events at the SF Citadel, Catalyst, and of course Wicked Grounds.

OAK: Lap Dancing Fundamentals with Alexandria of Click Your Heels
2026-06-14 12:00 - 15:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
All Bodies, All Genders! YOU are welcome as you are. You don’t have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.
Join us for the 3-hour workshop of Alexandria’s wildly popular Lap Dancing classes. These always sell out so get your spot quick. Like all Click Your Heels events, these classes are primarily about building body confidence, practicing body awareness in real time, and holding a safe community space for all of us to be brave. We value and celebrate genuine erotic spirit, as is the birthright of all human bodies. Embody your sensual power in a whole new way. Buy your ticket now!
Learn simple and easy moves and rules to give a lap dance to any person you choose, with any type of music you like. No dance experience required! We will teach you to make the most of your natural instincts. This is a slow and powerful style of lap dancing that doesn’t require any serious moves and certainly no tricks. This style of lap dancing can be adapted to any type of music you like. We will work a lot on musicality in this class.
We cover how the traditional fundamentals of lap dancing can be easily applied to a huge variety of fun and sexy situations. Lap dancing can be used to showcase the feminine or masculine energy of the dancer. With Alexandria’s slow, steady, encouraging, and down to earth teaching style, you’ll be surprised how much you learn without realizing it. One step at a time you’ll be moving on the floor, in the lap, behind the chair, learning smooth transitions and so much more. No dance experience required! (And, of course, if you do have previous dance knowledge, we’ll show you how to incorporate your existing skills into this new context.)
We will also cover the etiquette of receiving a lap dance: when to hold still, when to move, how to sit/stand/etc, when and how to touch the dancer, and how to contribute to a great experience from both in and out of the chair.
No partner required: Individuals, pairs, and more-somes all welcome.
Remember that lap dancing is vulnerable and takes courage!
Use your common sense and be considerate of your classmates.
COMING TO CLASS? READ THIS–> 🎒 Info for attending:
✨This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
🚪 Doors open at 11:30am. Introductions start at 12pm. Doors close approximately 12:30pm. Late arrivals cannot be admitted or refunded. Plan accordingly!
💦 BRING a water bottle (yes there is a refill station). You may also want to bring a light snack; our break will be short.
👕 WEAR LAYERS of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body but keep your private areas well covered. No jeans! Layers are encouraged! How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies. “Stripping” is NEVER required. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference.
After we’re warmed up, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, bras, crop tops, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great).
OPTIONAL 🎶🎵
Prepare some music:
Choose 1-2 songs that you are interested in practicing lap dancing to. Please be able to name the song and the artist during class when it’s time. You want songs that
(A) have a very slow tempo AND
(B) help you feel your body, help you tap into your physicality AND
(C) Please check the full lyrics in advance! Avoid anything with common triggers such as racism, sexism, rape, murder, etc.
Not everyone will get their song picked during class but we try to use as many as possible. You may also “pass” or not raise your hand as needed.

LA: Sex Magick for Kinksters (Partnered Magick) ​with Miriam BatAsherah Green
2026-07-18 12:00 - 14:00 | CA
​The traditional definition of magick is “the art and science of changing consciousness in conformity with Will.” We could also say it’s a way of moving and transforming energy and perception. In terms of our life work, magick is a set of tools that allows us to get out of our own way to more effectively do our work in the world.
​The magickian’s tool kit includes techniques such as ecstatic trance, symbolic ritual, polarity work, breathing techniques, sensual immersion, and more. The sex magickian specifically works with the energies raised in solo or partnered play as fuel for their spellwork or life Work.
​Those tools should seem very familiar to us kinksters. You may not be a magickian, but most of us are playing around in the magickian’s tool kit.
​This class will explore some basic information on how to understand the potent energies invoked in D/s and S/m. We’ll talk about the nature of the soul, how to engage the deeper mind, creating a safe container for a scene, and what one can do with the energies we raise in BDSM play. Whether you believe in magick, want to believe in magick, or think this is all just a fun metaphor for how the mind works, you are sure to gain new tools and perspectives on BDSM play by attending this class.
