SUMMARY:Kink Class Incubator from Concept to Launch
DESCRIPTION:Ready to take charge of your curriculum?\n\nSince 2019\, Wicked Grounds Annex has provided resources for our instructors and would-be instructors to develop stronger\, more impactful\, more engaging classes — along with strategies to find\, engage\, and build communities with the best students for their content. \nWe can help you change kink culture for the better by refining your course ideas and optimizing your marketing approach. This course will improve classes and marketing for experienced and new instructors alike. \n  \n\nOur approach\n\nIn this class\, you’ll learn what you need to get a basic start teaching in kink\, polyamory\, fetish\, magick — or any other peer-taught subject. Of course\, we’d be delighted if you plan to teach with Wicked Grounds\, but our goal is to create great teachers who can teach anywhere. \n  \nThroughout May 2026\, you will learn to: \nRefine and sharpen your core message \nFigure out what you really want to say — what only you can \nDifferentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge \nMarket your class in ways that really work \nInclude your students\, and learn as you teach \nGive a class that makes a difference \nEngage your audience and build your fans \nHow we’ll engage\nStarting Monday\, April 27\, we’ll engage in four major sections of work as you refine your concept\, discover your audience\, and take your class from concept to outline. \nYou’ll use the same approach that Miriam Green — a retired marketing consultant — uses to develop\, market\, and continually improve their classes. \nThis course will include four full weeks of self-directed coursework (which you may complete at your schedule and repeat as many times as you need) along with four or five 90-minute live sessions starting at 6pm Pacific: Mondays on April 27\, May 4\, May 11\, and May 18\, and concluding Tuesday\, May 26. \nStudents who join without a prior description and outline should plan to attend starting Monday\, April 27 for some basic concepts in class development. More advanced students are welcome to join April 27 but can opt to start May 4. \nAll live sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend live or wish to review the session. You may also book additional consulting time with Mir as an add-on\, which may be completed during or after the class period. \n\nAbout Miriam Green\n\nMiriam Green has been a BDSM and kink educator since 2014\, when they acquired Wicked Grounds. Mir teaches 4-5 classes per month on average for Wicked Grounds and has also taught repeat engagements for Society of Janus\, Dark Odyssey Events\, Foundations\, Arizona Power Exchange (APEX)\, Desert Dominion\, and several other organizations and events. \nBefore joining the BDSM world\, Mir was a marketing\, brand and product development research consultant for several Fortune 500 companies under their day-to-day name\, and they leverage their niche marketing & product development knowledge in their own marketing and this class. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/p/kink-class-incubator-from-concept-to-launch111

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Brainwashing with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in brainwashing or conditioning in kink\, you have probably spent time wrestling with the implications of your practice. To what extent is it acceptable to deliberately shape someone’s mind\, their responses\, their sense of self? Dynamics built around long-term conditioning carry their own particular stigma\, even within kink communities\, and that stigma makes it harder to think clearly about what’s happening. \nSome people find their way into sustainable\, deeply satisfying dynamics that focus on shaping one partner to the other’s liking\, and then have to reckon with the discomfort that comes with it. How do you talk honestly with someone who is actively being shaped to think in particular ways\, even when they asked for that very change? Some also run into rougher territory\, such as identity confusion or dynamics that started with good intentions and lost the plot somewhere along the way. \nWhile brainwashing is a word often heard in the kink community\, research into influence\, behavior shaping\, and identity is only now beginning to catch up with what communities have been doing for decades. The goal is also to sit with the word brainwashing itself and learn about what it means to each of us\, the history it may carry\, and what about it might be worth reclaiming. \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM\, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA\, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research\, he has developed and led community education programs on kink\, consent\, trauma awareness\, and ethical non-monogamy. \nAt the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/af0f9455c3
