SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Swiping with Marie Thouin\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Swiping is Dr. Marie Thouin’s transformative framework for using dating apps with intention\, authenticity\, and self-love. \nWhile dating apps aren’t designed for our well-being—they’re gamified to prey on our attention and self-worth—they’re also a powerful tool for sparking new real-life connections. Let’s outsmart the downsides and learn to use this technology with next-level integrity and skill! 😌 \nInstead of getting stuck in the swipe-scroll trap\, we’ll learn how to use the apps as a practice—to cultivate discernment\, inner peace\, creativity\, and loving-kindness\, all while fostering real and meaningful connections with others. \n💫 What You’ll Learn:\nThis is a high-impact\, practical workshop exploring Dr. Marie’s Mindful Swiping framework in depth.

This style of lap dancing can be adapted to any type of music you like. We will work a lot on musicality in this class. \nWe cover how the traditional fundamentals of lap dancing can be easily applied to a huge variety of fun and sexy situations. Lap dancing can be used to showcase the feminine and/or masculine energy of the dancer. With Alexandria’s slow\, steady\, encouraging\, and down to earth teaching style\, you’ll be surprised how much you learn without realizing it. One step at a time you’ll be moving on the floor\, in the lap\, behind the chair\, learning smooth transitions and so much more. No dance experience required! (And\, of course\, if you do have previous dance knowledge\, we’ll show you how to incorporate your existing skills into this new context.) \nWe will also cover the etiquette of receiving a lap dance: when to hold still\, when to move\, how to sit/stand/etc.\, when and how to touch the dancer\, and how to contribute to a great experience from both in and out of the chair. \nNo partner required: Individuals\, pairs\, and more-somes all welcome. \n💞 This class is Limited to 24 students to ensure personal attention\, space\, and time!!! \nCOMING TO CLASS?

No jeans! Layers are encouraged! How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies. “Stripping” is NEVER required. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference. \nAfter we’re warmed up\, booty shorts\, boykini bottoms\, wrestling shorts\, bikini tops\, bras\, crop tops\, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times\, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great)\, and all nipples are to remain covered at request of the venue. \nOPTIONAL 🎶🎵\nPrepare some music:\nChoose 1-2 songs that you are interested in practicing lap dancing to. Please be able to name the song and the artist during class when it’s time. You want songs that\n(A) have a very slow tempo AND\n(B) help you feel your body\, help you tap into your physicality AND\n(C) Please check the full lyrics in advance! Avoid anything with common triggers such as racism\, sexism\, rape\, murder\, etc. \nNot everyone will get their song picked during class but we try to use as many as possible. You may also “pass” or not raise your hand as needed. \nNotes:\nRemember that lap dancing is vulnerable and takes courage!\nUse your common sense and be considerate of your classmates \n🥄 Accessibility: one flight of stairs from the sidewalk to the lobby.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Fine\, I’ll Do It Myself: Rope 101 For the Aspiring Self-Suspender with SuspendDisbelief
DESCRIPTION:This 101-level course is aimed toward anybody interested in self-tying who has barely touched rope but wants to\, who would like a refresher\, or who was repeatedly betrayed by their neurodivergence while trying to learn rope and would benefit from novel ways to look at the basics. It provides opportunities to learn basic risk awareness specific to tying yourself\, pros and cons of rope materials\, and building blocks such as single column knots and connecting rope. \nThis class in particular aims to provide a “grab-bag” of several ways to achieve each step\, allowing students to pick what works for them. With a focus on load-bearing structures over decoration\, we will work under the philosophy that there is no “one true way” you must perfectly carry out\, but a few tips can help keep beginners safer. \nPRESENTER: \nSuspendDisbelief (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. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/e60f66e29a

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. \nIn 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. \nWe will learn to: \n\nGet present with our partners\nAlign with our partners on shared goals\nIncorporate all our physical senses with intention\nSense energy\nPractice good energetic hygiene and boundaries\nAlign our senses and energy to reinforce power dynamics & sensory play\nLearn to incorporate different types of energy to reinforce specific moods\n\nPRESENTER: \nHG 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. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/5ee36c1e83

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Gasp & Glow: Breathwork as Sensation Play with M'kali-Hashiki
DESCRIPTION: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. \nExpect nerdy-meets-sacred vibes\, plenty of guided practice\, and an easy aftercare exhale you can use anywhere. \nFor all genders\, bodies\, roles\, and experience levels—perfect for kinksters who crave fresh tools without extra gear. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUse three bottom-friendly breath patterns to expand capacity and stay present.\nRead breath cues as a Top to adjust rhythm\, force\, and pacing.\nNegotiate breath-based safety signals when words are wobbly.\nDown-regulate both partners with an after-scene exhale sequence.\n\nPRESENTER: \nAbout 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. \nI’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. \nI 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. \nI 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. \nI 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. \nFiercePassions.com \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Forbidden Fruit: Stepping into Kink Positivity with Dolly Diatima
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nUsing 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. \nSo 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. \nINSTRUCTOR: \nDolly Diatima is a Persian American professional dominatrix\, writer\, fetish model\, and lifestyle kinkster. As a nonbinary and neurodivergent sex worker on the ace spectrum\, they offer a unique perspective into kink and sexuality which they work to bring into their sessions as a domme as well as into their writings and classes. They recently earned a BA in Philosophy and can often be found discussing the intersection of kink and philosophical concepts on their blog. In their spare time they enjoy drawing in the pop surrealism style\, watching extreme horror films\, and collecting vintage fashion. They reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with their big beautiful tuxedo cat\, Ligeia. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a4966bef35 \nWe offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. \nSo – that’s it!

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION:Sub drop. Top drop. “A case of the Mondays.” \nWhatever 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. \nWhat is this awful mood we fall into after a scene\, and what the heck can we do about it? \nIn 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: \n\nCommon misconceptions about drop\nWhat’s going on in the mind\, brain and body\nMind-body strategies for before\, during and after the scene to help us bounce back\nHow to change our narrative to avoid making drop worse\nThe best ways to effectively communicate after a scene — for good scenes and bad\n\nYou’ll come away with better self-understanding and a self-care toolkit to draw on when drop comes calling. Join us! \nPRESENTER: \nMiriam 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. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/2937ff63af
