2025-09-21 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Who doesn’t love the look of a well-polished boot that catches the light and catches your eye?
Leather pieces have the ability to outlast many of their original owners…with care. In this class, we’ll teach you the basics of making your leathers look nice and last, as well as cleaning and caring for your leathers.
Bootblacking can be a service to the community or dynamic, a form of worship, an art form, a practice of technique, a side hustle, a spiritual practice, or all of the above!
Learn how to easily clean and care for your favorite boots, whip, or vest! We’ll also show you how to discern between oil tan and polished leather and how to treat them appropriately.
After the class portion, there will be a brief workshop where you will work on your leather with guidance from the instructor. It is BYOL (Bring Your Own Leather). Synthetic leathers are welcome!
PRESENTER:
Lady V (she/her) is a spiritually & socioculturally driven sex-positive educator, community organizer, Bootblack & Professional Dominatrix. She formerly served as a resident bootblack for the Portland Eagle, as well as 50 Shades of STFU & Jiffy Kink play parties. Lady V has also Bootblacked at various conferences, flea markets, cigar parties, & play parties across the US.
Lady V became a believer in leather the first time she saw The Arnold’s ass in leather pants watching Terminator 2. Since then she has become an enthusiastic leather fetishist & has touched enough leather to make a dairy farmer blush. Lady V, who is also a hucow, is quite literally “leather”.
Lady V has taught for conferences & sex positive venues across the US. She serves as an Advocacy Board Member for Sex Positive World & proudly helps facilitate their education as the Remote Education Coordinator. Lady V has also served the community by facilitating public health events.
She is an out, proud, & fierce-as-fire transwoman with a passion for empowering others. While hailing from Detroit, Michigan, she has settled in Salem, Oregon, where she lives with her Mistress in a 24/7 TPE dynamic. She serves as the majordomo for her leather family, the Atomic Army.

2025-09-21 14:00 - 16:00
Whether you’re brand-spanking new to the scene, or you’ve been involved for years, negotiating a new scene or with a new partner can be a daunting concept for kinky submissives and anyone on the lower side of the D/s slash.
In this workshop led by a sub with extensive experience Domming, we’ll examine the do’s and don’ts of effective negotiating communication, how to navigate the scene, ways to identify important traits in compatible play partners, and guide kinksters of all levels and experiences to co-creating the scenes they’ve always wanted to have!
There will also be a live demonstration of pick-up play negotiation and an open Q&A at the end.
PRESENTER:
Faun (he/him) is a smut writer and kink educator from the Pacific Northwest. Despite knowing he was firmly on the ace spectrum in his teenage years, he always felt that something was missing. One day, he stumbled upon a website chock full of hypnokinky stories, and the rest is history. Now, he hopes to help others find their own niche in the kink community by sharing what he’s learned through study and experience. You can find him on AO3 and tumblr as spiraledfaun, and on Fet as deerfaun.

We’ll provide a lighthearted, low-stakes atmosphere with conversation starters in case you find yourself tongue-tied by the beautiful queers before you. You bring an open mind, adventurous spirit (this can be aspirational), and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. At the end of the evening, drop a note and your contact info into the mailboxes of the cuties you want to connect with, and see what unfolds!
Queer, trans, and questioning kinksters of all genders and kinky proclivities are welcome. There will be no kinky play at this event — save that for the weekend!

ONLINE: Invisible Toybox: The Energy of Kink with HG Wyndell
2025-09-24 18:00 - 20:00
There are several ways to approach what we call “power” or “energy” in kink. Some of us are drawn to words like Magic, chi, ki, woo, vibes, and similar terms to describe the quality called “energy.” Whether or not we love those terms, we are often playing with qualities that feel somewhat beyond our day-to-day experience as we enter into a state of flow.
In this class, we will learn techniques for sensing and manipulating power and energy, whatever we choose to call it. We will briefly discuss the ethics of energy play, and explore ways to incorporate energy into BDSM, for connection, play, and intimacy.
We will learn to:

Get present with our partners
Align with our partners on shared goals
Incorporate all our physical senses with intention
Sense energy
Practice good energetic hygiene and boundaries
Align our senses and energy to reinforce power dynamics & sensory play
Learn to incorporate different types of energy to reinforce specific moods

PRESENTER:
HG Wyndell is an activist, educator, and Spiritworker who is driven to facilitate accessible ritual spaces for folks seeking access to more deeply nourishing relationships with themselves and others. They are committed to living life through a lens of wonder, and in our experience, they don’t mess around when it comes to embracing the complex beingness of whoever is blessed to be in their presence and consideration. They weave their lived experiences with intentional relationship, genuine gender expression, ceremony, creative arts, chronic illness, and embracing pleasure seamlessly with a whole lot of love and a good bit of magic into the rich curriculum they offer.

ONLINE: Gasp & Glow: Breathwork as Sensation Play with M'kali-Hashiki
2025-10-01 18:00 - 20:00
Breath is the quiet implement that changes everything. Intentional breathing becomes a sensation dial—turning intensity up, easing panic, and deepening connection. Bottoms learn to ride impact longer with less overwhelm; Tops learn to read breath, pace scenes, and co-regulate without buying a single new toy.
Expect nerdy-meets-sacred vibes, plenty of guided practice, and an easy aftercare exhale you can use anywhere.
For all genders, bodies, roles, and experience levels—perfect for kinksters who crave fresh tools without extra gear.
Learning Objectives

Use three bottom-friendly breath patterns to expand capacity and stay present.
Read breath cues as a Top to adjust rhythm, force, and pacing.
Negotiate breath-based safety signals when words are wobbly.
Down-regulate both partners with an after-scene exhale sequence.

PRESENTER:
About M’kali-Hashiki (she/her/hers): I was given the name Mkali Hashiki by a Priest of Oshun in the Ifa tradition (I added the hyphen & apostrophe to help with pronounciation). It means “fierce passion” in Swahili. I believe that we are all entitled to have passion in our lives, and to understand how being connected to our passion & creativity enhances our lives & the lives of those around us. It is my fierce passion for a happy, healthy, world that motivates everything I do.
I’m a Certified Sexological Bodyworker; a Certified Sound, Voice, & Music Healer; and a Certified Tantric Sacred Intimate. I’m also a former Gynecological Teaching Associate (teaching medical students how to perform painless, patient-centered pelvic & breast exams using my body as the demo model), a published essayist; a former professional social justice organizer; and an Ifa devoteé. I’m a fat, Black, queer, womanist, polyamorous, kinky, first generation Northern-born, middle-aged dyke Burn Survivor with moderate to severe PTSD. My cultural upbringing & lived experiences of struggling to love myself in a world that hates all of my identities (some more than others) informs every aspect of my work.
I have a complex sexuality & sexual history. I have personal experience with polyamory, nonmonogamy, BDSM, and achieving mystical states during sex. I am—and have always been—a “sexual outlaw”, as well as being a “triple minority” (Black, female, and queer); this has allowed me to view society’s standards on sexuality with a critical eye. As a Scorpio, I have always been curious and intrigued by sexuality, and feel that my erotic sense is the most calibrated of all my senses, and is the filter through which I experience the world.
I am currently addressing 30 plus years of undiagnosed & untreated PTSD. I understand the ways in which our triggers hide from us, popping up when we least expect it; the ways trauma can influence even the most mundane actions in our day-to-day lives; the ways minor triggers substitute for the major ones. Even though my traumatic incident was not sexual trauma, it still had an impact on my erotic growth & sexual development.
I have been deeply influenced personally, professionally, and politically by Audre Lorde’s essay “The Uses Of The Erotic: The Erotic As Power” (if you haven’t read it, you need to!). I believe her point that in order to maintain itself, oppression requires the repression of the erotic. Because of my politics, spirituality, and lived experiences; because of the lies we are constantly told about what sex should be, about what is normal and acceptable; and because of the sexual truths that are vilified; I view my work in FiercePassions as a form of political rebellion.

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.

Once condemned as madness, now simply tolerated as a “preference,” kink has long existed at the edges of medicine and morality. But what if your desires aren’t problems to be solved? What if they aren’t just something to be tolerated? What if instead they are something far more radical, a different way of touching the world…and being touched by the world.
This class invites you to step into the dungeon, not as punishment but as a possibility, a site of transformation. Here we will trace kink’s origins as 19th century medical madness and discuss how the urge to diagnose desire gave way to the concept of perversion. We’ll watch how this old way of thinking still haunts our society today and elaborate on how kink has survived, adapted, and seduced its way into the present. Then we’ll turn the whip around, because sometimes theory likes to bottom.
Using easy to understand philosophical frameworks like virtue and care ethics, we’ll explore how the erotic dance of dominance and submission can rewrite morality itself. Because the moment you embrace pain as pleasure, control as connection, and power as a way to play, your desire becomes the blueprint for a better world.
So come ready to think, to ache, to unlearn, we’re about to make philosophy beg for more. Think of it as intellectual aftercare, for you and for the world.

ONLINE: Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green
2025-10-09 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!
PRESENTER:
Miriam 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.

ONLINE: Violet Wand 101 with Electrogirly
2025-10-12 14:00 - 16:00
Step into the charged world of violet wand play—a mesmerizing electro toy that blends sensation, sound, and light into one electrifying experience. Using high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency electricity, the violet wand can create everything from soft, teasing caresses to sharp, deliciously torturous intensity. Its touch can be wicked, seductive, and just the right kind of cruel—offering a range of sensations that are as playful as they are intense. While often known for its sting, this tool is just as capable of delivering slow, sensual waves that build and build.
In this class, we’ll explore the essentials—like how glass electrodes interact with the skin, ways to play with the body contact attachment that turns you into a human conductor, and the creative use of pervertables, everyday objects that take on a whole new spark. We’ll also dive into some more intermediate techniques, such as layering sensations to build intensity, experimenting with rhythm and pacing, and combining attachments for surprising effects. Along the way, we’ll cover the foundational practices that keep violet wand play rooted in safety, consent, and connection.
Whether you’re totally new or brushing up on the basics, this hands-on session offers a playful, curiosity-fueled space to build skills and explore the electric possibilities.
Let Electro Girly guide you into the glow—this is your invitation to plug in and play.
PRESENTER:
Electro Girly is an Educator, performer, event coordinator and Pro Dom at Sanctuary Studios in Los Angeles whose specialty and passion is electro play. She entered the kink scene in 2017 and discovered electro play in 2021, quickly dedicating herself to the craft with intensity and focus. Starting with demo and taster booths, she fell in love with introducing people to the spark of electricity—the way their curiosity turned to excitement and understanding as sensation transformed into connection. That joy now fuels her work as a teacher, where she leads classes on the violet wand with a blend of technical skill, embodied presence, and femme Dom power. Her approach balances precision and creativity with safety and care, creating space for students to explore the charged interplay of pain and pleasure, push their limits in consent-forward ways, and tap into kink as a language of empowerment and intimacy.

ONLINE: Hypnokink on the Ace Spectrum with Faun
2025-10-13 18:00 - 20:00
Even in this day and age, it can still be incredibly difficult for kinksters on the ace spectrum to feel like they belong in kinky spaces. Knowing that kink isn’t inherently sexual is one thing, and figuring out how to get our needs met without making ourselves uncomfortable is another. If this sounds like you, allow me to introduce you to the beauty that is hypnokink!
In this class, we’ll discuss the ways in which kink itself can be validating and cozy for acespec people, and explore specifics about how we can interact with hypnokink from any position or role without compromising boundaries or comfort levels. The class is open to all, so if you or a loved one is on the ace spectrum, or you’re just curious, please come join us!
PRESENTER:
Faun (he/him) is a smut writer and kink educator from the Pacific Northwest. Despite knowing he was firmly on the ace spectrum in his teenage years, he always felt that something was missing. One day, he stumbled upon a website chock full of hypnokinky stories, and the rest is history. Now, he hopes to help others find their own niche in the kink community by sharing what he’s learned through study and experience. You can find him on AO3 and tumblr as spiraledfaun, and on Fet as deerfaun.

We’ll explore how nutrition, exercise, sleep, mindfulness, and self-advocacy can support wellness during this time. You’ll also create your own Menopause Manifesto, a personal roadmap to help you claim an empowered relationship with this potent transformation.
PRESENTER:

ONLINE: From ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ to Boundaries: Healing Consent Culture in BDSM with Buzz Stingyear
2025-10-15 18:00 - 20:00
Have you ever felt that kink community wasn’t there for you? Are you confronting unhelpful worldviews around consent that you’ve struggled to shift? Would you like to learn how to be less reactive or annoyed and more open to your [potential] partners’ perspectives? If so, this class is for you!
This course explores the emotional, social, and psychological dimensions of consent beyond the basics. Participants will unpack common resistance to consent culture and deepen their understanding through reflection, dialogue, and experiential practice. Learn when “boys will be boys” or “it’s just my way” is applicable to consent culture. Even those of us who are profoundly dedicated to the ideas of consent sometimes resist the culture and practices of consent. Or we are not even aware that what we are doing is related to kink and therefore think it is not under the purview of consent.
In this workshop, you will learn to:

Understand what “nuance” in consent means and why it matters
Explore how context and assumptions impact BDSM consent
Determine whether you can be a badass or a Dominant/Top and still be religious about consent
Examine the conflict that arises when your authentic self conflicts with another’s authentic self in relation to consent
Unpack personal resistance to consent practices and replace resistance with enthusiasm
Identify personal experiences with clear vs. unclear consent

PRESENTER:
Buzz_Stingyear is a late-blooming kinkster who grew up in a money-driven, Trump-aligned household. He internalized a rigid worldview that took years of effort to unravel. With a doctorate in Counseling Psychology, he strives to align his personal growth with his training. Entering the public kink community exposed him to the transformative power of feedback, accountability, and consent culture. Behaviors once normalized in his vanilla world were challenged and reexamined. Buzz remains committed to self growth, becoming less reactive and more compassionate, and supporting others in finding connection, safety, and self-awareness within the kink community.

ONLINE: Baring Your Emotional Jugular: Active Bottoming For Emotional Sadism Play
2025-10-19 14:00 - 16:00
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words… can actually do some serious damage, right? Emotional sadomasochism (ESM) is incredibly fun but also incredibly high-risk, and mitigating that risk can seem like a lot of work. It turns out that handing someone a metaphorical map of your emotional landscape makes it a bit easier for them to navigate without breaking things. But how do we make an accurate map, and how do we draw it in a way that makes sense for our partner?
We’ll discuss skills such as scene negotiation, vulnerability/authenticity, discovering and communicating your desires and aftercare needs, and flirting with your sadists in a non-pushy way. SuspendDisbelief aims to prove that bottoms can actively participate in and guide their own play-destruction while having fun!
PRESENTER:
SuspendDisbelief (she/her) is a queer, non-monogamous power exchange and sadomasochism nerd. Her hobby of choice has been getting hurt in public since 2017, but she has been fantasizing about powerlessness and crushing on former boy scouts exclusively for their knowledge of knots for far longer than that. On top of bottoming for power exchange and physical+emotional sadism, she started tying herself in 2019 and swiftly snowballed down the pipeline toward rope topping. She uses the chaos goblin energy bestowed upon her by her ADHD to enhance her teaching and help people like her “get it”. She currently helps facilitate and teaches monthly for Hitchin’ Bitches DC.

2025-10-20 18:00 - 20:00
Fear is at the core of many facets of kink — an erotic edge that electrifies the body and makes the mind ache with anticipation. This workshop plunges into the thrilling world of psychological fear play, taking play beyond the physical and into the deliciously twisted world of the mind.

Get ready to explore a wide range of mindfuck styles including suspense, threats, tricks, mystery, confusion, manipulation, and more – while incorporating techniques such as knife play, consensual non-consent, orgasm control, breath play, sensory deprivation, and blood play.
Whether you crave the rush of being unraveled or the exhilaration of pulling the strings, this workshop offers practical tools, interactive exercises, and live demonstrations to help you approach psychological edge play with confidence, creativity, and care. Come discover how getting inside someone’s head can unlock the deepest surrender — and the dirtiest fantasies.

2025-10-21 18:00 - 20:00
Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn’t necessarily come naturally — especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene.

Polyamory Troubleshooting: The Coach Is In! with Alexandria
2025-10-22 08:00 - 17:00
So you’ve been doing poly for a minute now, and some stuff has come up. You’ve got questions, quandaries, confusions! Excellent! Bring them to class! Let’s tackle them together, with a light-hearted, can-do attitude.
Polyamory can mean infinite possibilities, yet, the very freedom that makes it compelling can also lead to challenges that feel unique or uncharted. Layered with the (sometimes hidden) forces of patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism and other prejudices, how can we navigate the unexpected and support the best, juiciest outcomes for all involved?
Alexandria is a 2nd generation practitioner of intentional, ethical poly, and she is a coaching and communication expert with more than two decades of training and experience.
In this Q+A style workshop, please bring your real-life polyamorous issues, both big and small! With nonjudgmental insight, good-hearted expertise, and a toolbox of powerhouse relationship skills we’ll work as a team to help you realize happy, healthy relationships. Join us in exploring what’s possible and expanding our understanding of what is required to make poly run smoothly. The coach is in!
INSTRUCTOR:
Alexandria has been teaching dance and movement since 1998, including private lessons, small group studio classes, and large public classes of 100+. Her repertoire includes pole for all bodies, ballet for real life, belly dance, floorwork, high heels dancing, lap dancing, Flexibility 4 Life, salsa, merengue, bachata, cha-cha, east coast swing, social waltz, feminine sensual movement, rhythm training, body confidence, non-verbal communication, and more. Her mantra is #whenindoubtslowdown and her rally cry is “All bodies, all genders, all ages: come home to your body”. Her teaching emphasizes reclaiming your body and self-love, strength, flexibility, improvisation, and musicality.

ONLINE: Shadow, Power & the Erotic Self: A Ritual Descent with Sir Scott
2025-10-22 08:00 - 17:00
This is not a ‘nice’ workshop. This is sacred edge-play with the parts of ourselves we exile. In this 2-session online ritual descent, we enter the underworld of the erotic psyche to explore the power and beauty of the shadow self through kink, archetypes, and conscious embodiment.
Through poetic reflection, shadow persona work, kink-informed ritual tools, and energetic excavation, you’ll meet the parts of yourself that dominate, collapse, mask, and burn. You’ll also discover what these shadows truly long for—and how they can become allies in your erotic power.
This is an immersive and emotionally rich journey. Come with courage, curiosity, and a willingness to feel.
Format & Timing:
• 2 Online Sessions – 2 hours each (Zoom or preferred platform)
• Optional homework between sessions (Shadow Persona Quiz, journaling, sigil work)
• Includes downloadable handouts, ritual worksheets, and reflection pages
Who This Is For:
• Kink-curious or seasoned practitioners exploring shadow integration
• Erotic explorers seeking spiritual depth and psychological insight
• Educators, therapists, facilitators, or ritualists looking to deepen their shadow-informed practices
All genders, orientations, and identities welcome. This is a queer- and neurodivergent-welcoming space. Nudity, live scenes, or sexual activity are not part of this class. Adult themes and intense material will be engaged with care.
**FAQ Highlights**
**Q: Will this involve live scenes or nudity?**
A: No. This is a teaching, reflection, and ritual exploration class, not a play party.
**Q: What if I’m new to kink or shadow work?**
A: Perfect. Come as you are. Everything is framed accessibly, with optional entry points.
**Q: Do I have to share anything personal?**
A: Sharing is welcome but never required. We’ll offer solo, private options for every practice.
