ONLINE: Full Moon Class 1: Elemental Magic in BDSM with Madam Rose
2025-11-06 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Full Moon in Taurus
When your energy is aligned, your dominance flows with clarity and presence—and your submission anchors into loyalty, devotion, and clarity of purpose. This immersive 2-hour workshop teaches you how to return to that alignment using the four elements as practical tools for energetic mastery.
You’ll explore how air, fire, water, and earth each influence your unique power dynamic—and how to choose the right element to meet your needs in both dominant and submissive roles.
From grounding and breathwork to advanced energetic tools, each method is broken down by level and applied to your real-life dynamic.
We’ll conclude with a live altar demonstration, a Q&A integration space, and a brief introduction to flower essences—refined plant allies used in energetic recalibration.
You’ll leave with:
● A deeper understanding of your energetic blueprint
● Personalized tools to stabilize dominance or submission
● Clear examples of how each element affects power exchange
● A live altar-building demo using all four elements
● An introduction to flower essence support for advanced energetic refinement
Open to all roles, genders, and experience levels. No prior energy work necessary.
PRESENTER:
Madam Rosie Rose, the spiritual guide to Dommes, subs, and spicy content creators. Owner of Rose Garden of Kink, a sacred store for the D/s dynamic. She blends energy healing, flower essence work, and divination to support power exchange as a path to alignment. Driven by a passion to create safe, spiritually grounded spaces for healing within BDSM, kink, SWer, and polyamorous communities.

ONLINE: Sensations Playground: Exploring Edge, Sensuality & Intensity with Electro Girly
2025-11-10 18:00 - 20:00
Step into a world where touch becomes a language and sensation transforms into art. This class invites you to explore the full spectrum of sensation play—from teasing and tantalizing to intense and electrifying. You’ll learn how to safely harness tools that awaken the body and mind, opening the door to new levels of presence, trust, and thrill.
We’ll dive into claws and pinwheels, exploring light scratches, rolling tingles, and textured stimulation that tease and excite every nerve. Wax play introduces warmth and contrast, letting you experience the delicious interplay of hot and cold across the skin. Knife sensation play brings a heightened edge: you’ll explore scratchy and slick movements along the skin, using textured blades to create a thrilling yet fully controlled experience. Safety techniques are emphasized at every step, ensuring that the play is intense but completely consensual and risk-aware.
Beyond tactile play, we’ll explore the pulse of electro play, using electricity to deepen sensation and connection, and the controlled intensity of fire play, where flames awaken the senses in a safe, guided way. By the end of the class, you’ll have practical skills, safety techniques, and the confidence to integrate these tools into your own play—whether you’re exploring alone or with a partner. Participants will also gain advanced skills to elevate their practice and explore sensation with greater precision, control, and artistry.
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: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2025-11-11 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.
PRESENTER:

ONLINE: From Harm to Healing with Adam and Ash of Consent Academy
2025-11-15 10:00 - 13:00
Harm happens — from abuse of power to consent incidents and violations. When it does, it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these events are handled well. Too often they’re not, which frequently leads to more harm.
Join us for a look at new ways to deal with harm that works to support the person harmed, foster accountability for the person who did the harm, and manage the response for the community at large–including transforming conditions that allow harm to arise in the first place.”
Consent Academy is an educational collective founded in 2016 in Seattle, WA, currently with staff and volunteers all over the world. We believe consent is a part of everyday life, and its practice builds stronger, safer, and more connected communities. Our approach incorporates disciplines of psychology, sociology, public health, psychotherapy, and personal coaching to create a systemic view of how consent impacts everyone, from the bedroom to the boardroom.
INSTRUCTORS:
Adam is a community organizer, mediator, conflict transformation facilitator, kink and consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, neurodivergence accessibility, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, harm reduction, and systems transformation. They desire to help people relate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam is an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy, advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, from organizing spaces to the sex+ world. Adam sees this work as intersectional, directly connected to the better, more liberatory world they want to live in.
Asha Lerae has been a part of Consent Academy since 2018, teaching established curriculum, creating new workshops, facilitating discussion groups, and acting as a consent advocate and consultant. She became Co-director of Consent Academy in January, 2022. She is passionate about consent education as a way to reduce trauma, promote pleasure and eroticism, support accountability, and foster cultural change that balances autonomy with responsibility. Asha is also an adjunct faculty member at Antioch University Seattle, an AnteUp! certified sexuality, gender, and justice educator, a certified abortion doula, and somatic sex educator.

How do you know you are done? What happens after the magic? What next? What do we do now?
These questions and more are at the roots of this class. Scenes, rituals, initiations, and radical shifts in our states of being, often come with a shift in how we fit within consensus reality.

We’ll explore tools for energetic closure, and endings, of exploring our new normal. Where do we go from here?

San Francisco, CA: Wicked Grounds + Plura Present: Kinky Speed Friending with PsychoKitty
2025-11-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
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.

ONLINE: What Now? Responding to Consent Injuries with Sir Panda
2025-11-22 11:00 - 13:00
We talk a lot about what consent is and how to reach good consent in play and with partners. Yet consent injuries happen all the time. What happens after things go wrong, and a consent incident shakes up a person, a couple, or a community?
This class will briefly touch on what consent is and how to secure it, then go beyond and examine how to best react when a consent incident touches us as a stranger, a friend, or an event host.
We’ll look at some recommended responses, including incident reporting and consequences such as apologies, punishments, and restorative justice.

ONLINE: Shadow, Power & the Erotic Self: A Ritual Descent with Sir Scott
2025-12-01 18:00 - 20:00
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.

He will endure a violet wand, zappers, cattle prod, flyswatter, shock collars (not applied to the neck), a TENS unit, and a hand-crank magneto generator box that he built himself out of a WWII field telephone. If he’s still verbal after all that torture, he will share some data and home science investigations on the effect of electric current on human body resistance and the changes in pain perception that correlate with changes in body resistance.
PRESENTER:
pangressive (he/they), a bottom-leaning switch, is the host of Current Events, the Bay Area’s electro munch. They are also the host of BABKA (Bay Area Bi/Pan Kinky Alliance) and co-host of P6 (Partially Prenegotiated Pansexual Prison Play Party), a private group that produces group CNC/free use scenes. pangressive has been in the kink scene since 2001, when he walked into Seattle’s storied former dungeon club The Wet Spot and said he wanted to get beaten up. They have played in the Seattle, Boston/New England, and Bay Area scenes, with some experience in the D.C. scene as well. His scene experience includes both pansexual and gay male spaces. pangressive enjoys tight bondage of all kinds, impact, clips and clamps, hot wax, and occasional sexual content in scenes in addition to electro.
They are excited to present an intro to electro play from the bottom’s perspective, assisted by well-respected kinkster and experienced presenter Addy (she/her) as demo top.

ONLINE: Chain Bondage for Beginners with CTW & Fischer Garrett
2025-12-08 18:00 - 20:00
Chains are a kink staple that evoke images of dungeons and being trapped, feelings of cold and hard restraint, and power and control. This class is a discussion of risks and safety using chains for bondage, a demonstration of various metal connectors, and how to maintain tension and make single columns using chain with labbing time after each demonstration. Great for self- and partnered-bondage participants and absolute beginners! Participants are welcome to bring their own chain; the presenters will have plastic chain available to borrow to practice with during the workshop.
If you wish to purchase your own starter chain kit ahead of time, the presenters recommend two 6-feet lengths of 1/4-inch proof coil zinc-plated chain and four to 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: Beyond the Kitchen Table: Modes and Models of Parallel Polyamory with Laura Boyle
2025-12-09 18:00 - 20:00
Many polyamorous “authorities” present kitchen-table groups as the holy grail of polyam interactions. While these relationship styles work well for many people, structures that fall outside that framework can be equally positive and healthy. This class will focus on building parallel relationships, being intentional about your choice of how much to interact with your partners’ wider networks, and how to openly communicate about:

How to be entwined in someone’s life but not close with a meta
“Stepping off the relationship escalator”
How to negotiate wanting a different level of interaction than a meta does
Balancing D/s concerns with poly concerns
Maximizing personal responsibility and minimizing stress on hinge partners

PRESENTER:
Laura Boyle is a relationship coach, educator, and author of Monogamy? In this Economy? Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory. She’s the voice behind the Ready for Polyamory blog and podcast, and has been an expert voice on polyamory in such publications as The Boston Globe and Cosmopolitan. She’s been polyamorous for nearly 20 years and has been teaching since 2018.
