ONLINE: Service With Purpose with Master Retro Bella
2026-04-19 14:00 - 16:00
Service doesn’t just appear out of thin air. As a Master, your role goes beyond commanding obedience. It’s about shaping service that’s intentional, fulfilling, and deepens the connection between you and your submissive. In this class, you’ll learn how to guide your submissive toward a deeper understanding of their role, fostering a sense of purpose in their service that aligns with your authority.
In this hour, We’ll cover:

-Sustaining the dynamic

She is the first woman to earn the title of 2023 Southwest Master and became the first person of Latin descent to hold the 2024 International Master title. She is passionate about Latinx/ne representation in M/s and Leather spaces.

ONLINE: Monster Matchmaking: Assessing Compatibility for Emotional Sadomasochism with SuspendDisbelief
2026-04-20 18:00 - 20:00
Who should we trust to (consensually) hurt our feelings? Wait, what even are feelings? In a scarcity mindset, we sometimes focus on the specifics of fulfilling a fantasy and forget to establish whether our scene partner(s) are right for the job. This class zooms in on motivations for and compatibility during emotional sadomasochism from a bottom’s perspective.
SuspendDisbelief applies an academic lens to almost a decade of experience being consensually bullied in public to help fellow masochists gain insight into their play desires.
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.

ONLINE: Dressed & UnDressed: Playing With Wardrobe with HG Wyndell
2026-04-22 18:00 - 20:00
Clothing and accessories are a language all on their own. They convey worlds without words, can immerse us in fantasy, can be fun or functional, and can be our practical armor (or advertisement) as we go through our days.
In this class, we will explore why and how we can incorporate clothing into both our play and our kink self-expression. We will examine many of the specific kinds of clothing we can use to enhance our scenes, including costuming, fetishwear, dollification, leather, latex, and other tools. We’ll also explore how we explore our identities with everything from our clothing choices to the hanky code. We’ll wrap up with practical tips for giving and receiving wardrobe service
Themes of accessibility, power, roleplay, service, and practicality will weave throughout the class. Bring your thoughts and questions, and let’s get curious.
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.

2026-04-23 18:00 - 20:00

Led by Board-certified sexologist Lilithfoxx, this workshop delves into the unique considerations that arise when cannabis is present in BDSM and kink situations. Participants will learn strategies for discussing preferences and consent beforehand, mitigating risks, recognizing how cannabis might affect consent communication, and staying aware of nonverbal cues and intoxication levels.

ONLINE: Badass Boundaries: The Discipline of Power with Buzz Stingyear
2026-04-25 15:00 - 17:00
This is not a healing circle.
This is a standards reset.
Badass Boundaries is for dominant-identifying men who are serious about leading with integrity. True dominance is not chaos, rather it is clarity before intensity. When your protocol is explicit and solid, trust deepens and your authority strengthens.
This course teaches you how to eliminate ambiguity and operate at a higher standard of consent and accountability.
Operational Objectives:
Define the Area of Engagement: Establish boundaries clearly before action begins.
Build Enthusiastic Buy-In: Move beyond reluctant compliance into active participation.
Maintain Signal Integrity: Use communication systems that protect both intensity and safety.
Practice Zero-Defect Accountability: Own every outcome. No excuses. No deflection.
Your word is the contract. Your discipline is the power.
Why Attend: The Tactical Advantage
Ambiguity erodes trust. Precision builds it.
Many consent violations don’t come from malice, but come from assumption, ego, or skipping negotiation. In high-intensity dynamics, this is a liability. When boundaries are vague, leadership becomes fragile.
Consent is not a leash. It is a green light.
When the protocol is clear, action becomes cleaner, safer, and more powerful. Stop guessing and defending yourself. Start leading with confidence and integrity.
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: Autism and Kink with John Pendal

What would be useful to know if you’re playing with a neurodivergent person?
And how can you negotiate a scene with someone who doesn’t know where masking ends and they begin?

This workshop isn’t just for autistic folk, it can help anyone who feels like an outsider or would like to create a more inclusive environment.

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.

About Miriam Green

Miriam 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.
Before 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.

ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s with Sinclair Sexsmith
2026-05-06 18:00 - 20:00
Making rules, tasks, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces, and how to maintain the strict container.
We’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement, such as the cartography of control areas, the protocol game, and levels of protocol. Ultimately, protocol is all about creating adjustable, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation.

If you’ve been in the D/s world, you know that some subs can be finicky on their search for the right Dominant. Finding the sub that works for you takes patience, but most of all it takes the Dominant to pick up on the right cues that would draw the sub in.
In this workshop, you’re going to understand how to use seduction to your advantage to get your subs to not only do what you want when you want it, but for them to beg you for more attention and more erotic play time. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, this will help you run the long (and successful) game when it comes to your kinky endeavors. This workshop is for every gender identity and sexual orientation.

2026-05-10 14:00 - 16:00

In this class, we will be covering:

What is “Under talk” and how can we recognize it in our speech
Reading body language or the lack of body language
Learning how to become a more empathic person
Rebuilding trust after a communication break down
How to create a safe place for private talks

ONLINE: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2026-05-12 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.
Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in the BDSM scene and relationships. We’ll talk about:

Negotiation styles
Pre-scene negotiations
How to negotiate without killing the mood
Checking in during and after the scene
Negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics

Drawing on what we know about the psychology of a scene, we’ll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic. This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications.

ONLINE: Mindful Brainwashing with Aidan Sunassee
2026-05-16 11:00 - 13:00
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.
Some 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.
While 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.
PRESENTER:
Aidan 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.
At the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other.

ONLINE: Strangers in the Night: Fray Sexuality, Relationships & YOU! with Lady V
2026-05-17 11:00 - 13:00
Fray Sexuality is often described as an attraction to new and/or unfamiliar people, often with little to no interpersonal connection previously.
Being Fray Sexual doesn’t mean you can’t have or maintain relationships. It doesn’t mean you’re cold or “not capable of love”. Its just a different layer of how someone is sexually attracted to people & practices their sexuality.
Fray Sexuality is often looked down upon instead of celebrated for what it is. This class helps us understand what Fray Sexuality is, how to navigate being Fray Sexual, & how to support a partner who’s Fray.
Join Lady V in the messy fray that is Fray Sexuality! In this class we’ll cover:

Setting & maintaining boundaries with primary partners
Getting needs met and navigating points of safety when getting intimate with strangers
Maintaining primary & romantic relationships while being fray sexual
Creating connection points outside of sexuality & romance
Balancing respect with (sub)conscious objectification

This class is geared towards fellow fray sexuals, partners of fray sexuals & the curious! The class is heavily geared toward consensual non-monogamy.
Can’t make it? Recording available for 7 days!

Other points of conversation will include:

Working through your chakras and channeling their energy
How meditation and guided imagery can help center you for more connection
Free time to explore with your partner or solo
Exercises to feel unbelievably closer to your partner
