ONLINE: Violet Wands 102: Beyond the First Spark with Electro Girly
2026-01-04 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The first spark was only the beginning. In Violet Wand 102, we’ll journey deeper into the electric arts—where tingles become teases, and teases become torment, seduction, and surrender.
This class is about unlocking new ways to play, including:
– How to safely play at higher intensities with confidence
– Turning your own body into a conductor—electrified caresses, fingertip shocks, kisses, and full-body connection play
– Using pervertables and toys with the body contact cable—transforming everyday objects (chains, silverware, brushes, jewelry) into conduits for current
– Blending electro with floggers, knives, fire, and sensation toys for layered play
– Playing with rhythm, pacing, and psychological build-up to heighten anticipation
– Using rhythmic pulses to build suspense—then shattering it with sudden lightning strikes
– Blending soft, sensual strokes with sharp, shocking surprises for delicious contrast
– Branding with a violet wand—creating temporary or permanent marks and symbols with precision and safety
You’ll learn how to transform your wand into an instrument of suspense and desire—arcing between playful caresses and scenes that leave your partner trembling, laughing, moaning, or begging for more.
PRESENTER:
Electro Girly is an educator, performer, event coordinator, and Pro Dom at Sanctuary Studios in Los Angeles. She specializes in electro play, but her teaching sparks far beyond the electrical thrill. She entered the kink scene in 2017 and began professionally working in the community this year, guiding students through a wide range of sensation and edge play, including electro play, impact, wax, knife, sharps, and fire play—all explored with intense, intertwined sensuality that awakens the senses, heightens presence, and deepens connection.
Her classes blend technical skill, embodied awareness, and fearless curiosity, while cultivating a safe, consent-based, and comfortable space where students are free to push boundaries and explore intensity at their own pace. Questions are welcomed, curiosity is celebrated, and every participant is supported as they discover new edges of sensation, pleasure, and connection. Students leave inspired, empowered, and equipped with practical skills to bring artistry, passion, and transformative energy into their own play.

ONLINE: Chain Bondage for Beginners: In-Line Single Columns with CTW & Fischer Garrett
2026-01-05 18:00 - 20:00
In-line columns are so called because they are built in the middle of the line after assembling a single column. This class builds on the content taught in Chain Bondage for Beginners demonstrating building in-line single columns and good practices using them. This presentation is great for self- and partnered-bondage participants and beginners!
As a virtual presentation, the presenters are not able to give live feedback, but viewers are still welcome to follow along with their own materials. If you wish to purchase your own starter kit ahead of time, we recommend two 6-feet lengths of grade 30, 1/4-inch proof coil zinc-plated chain and six 1/4-inch stainless steel screw-pin anchor shackles.
PRESENTERS:
Cecilia T. Winters (‘CTW’ – She/Her) is your typical queer Millennial. Born at the start of the internet age, she has always benefited from information at her fingertips. She identifies as bisexual and ethically non-monogamous. She has served as a dungeon and playspace monitor, a demo top for a number of local and national kink events, and as a presenter. Her non-kink interests include reading, making lists, watching early 2000s crime dramas, and learning about ancient human cultures.
Fischer Garrett (‘Mister’ – He/Him) is a bisexual, polyamorous top. His time spent in the lifestyle has led him through a journey of self discovery, from once being totally monogamous to being a relationship anarchist; from wanting nothing to do with bondage to developing a way to practice bondage in a relatively unperformed and under-documented fashion. In the past several years he has volunteered for larger kink events as a member of a consent incident response team, a dungeon/playspace monitor, and recently as a presenter. He is a huge fan of costumes and masks, and it is not unusual to know that he is around but often in clever and sometimes strange disguises.
Together they are coauthors of the first book on chain bondage, The Art of Chain: A Guide to Steel Restraint (Mystic Productions, 2022). www.theartofchain.com

ONLINE: Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green
2026-01-08 18:00 - 20:00
Sub drop. Top drop. “A case of the Mondays.”
Whatever we call it, post-scene drop is frustrating, irritating, and isolating. It often makes us question — at least in the moment — what was otherwise an awesome scene.
What is this awful mood we fall into after a scene, and what the heck can we do about it?
In this class, Miriam Green will draw on what we know about the neuropsychology of BDSM to help us better understand drop, and build strategies for resilience when we face it. We’ll talk about:

Common misconceptions about drop
What’s going on in the mind, brain and body
Mind-body strategies for before, during and after the scene to help us bounce back
How to change our narrative to avoid making drop worse
The best ways to effectively communicate after a scene — for good scenes and bad

You’ll come away with better self-understanding and a self-care toolkit to draw on when drop comes calling. Join us!

2026-01-11 14:00 - 16:00
“How are you enduring that? Is that safe for your body? How do I get better bruises? Wait, did you just come?” For many bottoms, how much they can suffer through – and how much they enjoy it – become points of insecurity.

We will move through the anatomy of a scene, discussing techniques for preparing emotionally, strategies to process pain, ways to take care of your body when not playing (including why we do or don’t get bruises (and what to do about them if we don’t want them), and best practices in communicating with partners after the fact.

ONLINE: WTF is Relationship Anarchy? with Laura Boyle
2026-01-15 18:00 - 20:00
Relationship Anarchy has gained in public awareness in recent years – but not without the generation of myths and misunderstandings about this philosophy of engaging in relationships.
Join Laura Boyle for a 90-minute workshop wherein she will:

Bust some of those myths
Define and give the history of relationship anarchy, including contextualizing it with political anarchist movements
Briefly look at the RA Manifesto
Discuss the practicalities of relating from the basis of this philosophical framework, using her own experiences as well as those of others who have given permission to share their stories during this workshop. (what does it really mean to individually build your relationships from an RA lens? Do we get a smorgasbord worksheet out every time we make a new acquaintance? What about when we want commitments and stability with partners? Hasn’t Laura been with one of her partners for nearly a decade?)
Consider whether Relationship Anarchy is a kind of polyamory, or even rightly a kind of non-monogamy, and how we contextualize that question
Look at the positives to an RA approach to relating
and answer audience questions.

PRESENTER:
Laura Boyle is a relationship coach, educator, and author of Monogamy? In this Economy? Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory.

All the Kabbalah You Really Need to Know...in 7.2 hours or less. A six-week interactive course exploring Miriam BatAsherah Green's Kabbalah Series.
2026-02-01 18:00 - 2026-03-14 18:00
Go Beyond the Sephirot

This course includes the major material from all of Miriam BatAsherah Green’s core kabbalah classes, including: the four worlds, the triple soul, the dual nature of the soul (aka the infamous Muppets & Kabbalah class!), working with the alphabet, the tree of life, and specific tools (such as ways to use kabbalah to deepen a tarot practice). The goal of these classes is to go well beyond working with the tree of life as an object and toward understanding kabbalah as a living practice.
Take the time to embrace a deepening practice
Since 2009, I’ve offered this course every few years as one 7.2 hour live class. That format has been enriching, but also exhausting. By giving us more time to fully stretch into the material, with ongoing exercises and homework, I hope this course can help you truly build a kabbalistic magickal framework.
Our six-week course will go live February 1 – March 14, 2026 and will include pre-recorded video lessons, written lessons, and six live sessions of 90 minutes each (pre-recorded if you cannot attend live) each Monday evening at 6pm Pacific.

Your instructor

Miriam BatAsherah Green is probably best known as a sexuality and kink educator, but has been teaching in the magickal arts for much longer than they’ve taught in kink. Mir has decades of experience teaching tarot, kabbalah, and other magickal topics for several organizations and events, including Tejas Web, Scarlet Woman Lodge OTO, Blazing Star Oasis OTO, NOTOCON, Pantheacon, and others. Miriam graduated Magna Cum Laude from Arizona State University in 2000 with a degree in Religious Studies and a concentration in Jewish Studies.

Kink Class Incubator from Concept to Launch
2026-04-27 18:00 - 2026-05-26 18:00
Ready to take charge of your curriculum?

Since 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.
We 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.

Our approach

In 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.

Throughout May 2026, you will learn to:
Refine and sharpen your core message
Figure out what you really want to say — what only you can
Differentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge
Market your class in ways that really work
Include your students, and learn as you teach
Give a class that makes a difference
Engage your audience and build your fans
How we’ll engage
Starting 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.
You’ll use the same approach that Miriam Green — a retired marketing consultant — uses to develop, market, and continually improve their classes.
This 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.
Students 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.
All 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.

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?
This 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).

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
