INTENSIVE: Month of Mindfulness (for Kinksters) 2026
2026-01-01 - 2026-01-31 | CA
Month of Mindfulness 2026
(for who we really are)

Building simple, sustainable daily practice to support ourselves in our kink and queer explorations, relationships and everyday lives. We’ll have daily work throughout January 2026.

Daily practice is for everyone

What’s the most important part of a daily practice? The daily part.
We’ll spend a month together exploring daily practices that tend to help most folks lead lives with deeper meaning, more resilience, and greater focus.
Spoiler: Not every technique out there will work for you, and that’s okay! We’ll explore together several practices that tend to help most people, most of the time. By the end of the month, you’ll be ready to launch your own personal practice that suits your needs!

What we’ll do
Throughout the full month of January 2026, you’ll receive and explore:

Written & video instruction to understand the psychology of daily habits
Written & video instruction to explore the application of our habits to a sex-positive life
Live guided meditation sessions at least five days each week
Pre-recorded meditation sessions with Miriam Green that you can use during the program and beyond
Daily writing prompts
Weekly suggestions for mindfulness field trips
Support in establishing and maintaining your personal New Year’s resolutions
And more!

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.” – Ari Can-Do
“Developing a regular practice of mindfulness, self-reflection, and intentionality is a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. They can also be hard skills to build and maintain. The Month of Mindfulness program helped me to refresh my own practice. Mir’s insights and guidance provided new perspectives and approaches that I was able to apply to my own pursuits. Plus working in a group setting really helped to add a deeper level of collaboration and accountability.” – Brian C aka The Sacred Dom

While our relationships with kink are deeply personal and sometimes idiosyncratic, the neuroscience of peak experiences can tell us a lot about what we all have in common. Learning about what happens in our brains when we play can lead to better communication and better scenes.

The four major neurotransmitters behind building a kink headspace
How and why edgeplay makes even well-planned scenes less predictable
How to stay in communication before, during, and after each scene
What to know when negotiating for relationships
The causes of post-scene drop, and how to deal with drop when it occurs

OAK: Flexibility for Kink and Erotic Movement (by Click Your Heels) Flexibility for Kink and Erotic Movement
2026-01-04 10:00 - 15:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
One day, two workshops!
Those interested in learning both the conditioning it takes to prevent injury and learn enticing movement should plan to stay for the full day.
We will not have time allotted for much stretching and warmup during Erotic Movement as a standalone class; we strongly recommend attending for the full day. If you plan to attend only Erotic Movement, please plan to arrive early and take time before class to get fully warmed up and stretched before we begin.
Flexibility for Kink
Like a gorgeous leather jacket can age beautifully or badly depending on how it’s cared for, stretching our bodies is fundamental to staying healthy.
But rarely do we make time to stretch, and too often we don’t know enough about how to do it. Just like the leather clothes, boots, or toys we love, we want our bodies to be available for fun and thrilling adventures on demand. Both our bodies and our leather thrive best and live longest with regular care and attention, not just at Folsom but all year round.
With roots in yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, ballet, calisthenics, and more, this class is my own creation. A relaxing, gentle, and holistic experience, in this class you will discover new stretches and learn new ways to care for your body. Get guidance and support from an expert (me!), expand your physical reach, and have fun too!
Erotic Movement
In a world that says pleasure is pointless and our bodies are for producing results, profit, or carrying our brains around, come spend a day in the radical act of loving your body exactly the way you are, right now.
What if you could move your body to music in new ways, that expanded both your physical self-expression and your relationship to your erotic self?
🎶We focus on floorwork, walking, standing, crawling, mind-body connection, organic movement, improvisation, authenticity, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!
This workshop is open to all levels.
If you have taken the shorter version in the past you are especially encouraged to attend. A section of time will be set aside to address your custom wants and needs.
Connect your sensual heart to your body by moving in new ways to inspiring music. We practice allowing ourselves to find our inner sensual being, gaining confidence and movement vocabulary. Flexibility, strength, and musicality are all taught in an indirect way, while we focus on your body’s desires for movement and expression. Awaken new sides of your sensual self through movement and musicality in this slow and welcoming format. Suitable for all levels and abilities.
This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.
WARNING ⚠️
Lower body nudity is not allowed in this class!!! Wear a PG-13/”street legal” base layer over your lower half private areas that you will NOT be removing – swimwear is ideal!
Nipples and chests of all genders are welcome to be bare in this class, or you may keep them covered to suit your personal preference. Please plan accordingly.
PRESENTER:
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.

ONLINE: Violet Wands 102: Beyond the First Spark with Electro Girly
2026-01-04 14:00 - 16:00 | CA
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 | CA
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 | CA
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!

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: Make Me a Masochist: Changing Your Relationship With Pain with vahavta
2026-01-11 14:00 - 16:00 | CA
“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. The bad news is that masochism can not be taught; pain management, however, can. This class will discuss mental and physical processing/conditioning techniques regarding multiple forms of pain.
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: KINK 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2026-01-13 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
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:
Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over one dozen 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: WTF is Relationship Anarchy? with Laura Boyle
2026-01-15 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
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. 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.

ONLINE: Ass to Grass: Fitness as a Tool of Domination with MF Dom
2026-01-17 11:00 - 13:00 | CA
Fitness is a multi-layered practice with benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics, and in many ways, kink operates the same way. Both can be tools for healing, transformation, power exchange, and sensual exploration. The body’s responses to movement, pleasure, strain, endorphins, and challenge can be intentionally woven into kink to build richer, more connected scenes or even empower a thriving 24/7 D/s dynamic.
This class explores how to integrate fitness principles with kink play. We will use the gym, free weights, bodyweight training, conditioning, and mobility work to prepare both doms and subs to experience kink through a heightened physical, emotional, and erotic lens.
PRESENTER:
MF Dom: Dominant | Educator | 8 Years Experience
Dominance is more than control; it’s an experience in trust. How do we set up a scene that allows the sub to trust you with whatever will happen next? How do we create and acknowledge boundaries and ensure they will be respected so that within them you both can revel in the pleasure of suspense, pain, and tension? With eight years of practice in BDSM, MF Dom brings a grounded, intentional approach to power exchange that gets you both there by balancing intensity with care.
MF Dom specializes in impact play, wax play, electro play, and aftercare. He guides partners and students through the physical and emotional rhythms of trust, sensation, and release. His demonstrations and lessons emphasize safety, consent, and connection, inviting others to explore the power of awareness and touch.
Whether leading a workshop or curating a scene, MF Dom’s presence reminds participants that true dominance isn’t about taking, it’s about both partners giving each other a mind-blowing experience built with trust and respect.
