ONLINE: From Harm to Healing: A Guide to Community Accountability with Adam and Ash of Consent Academy
2025-07-27 11:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Consent incidents and violations happen. When they do it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these are handled well. Sometimes they’re not, which frequently leads to more harm.
Join us for a look at a new way to deal with consent violations 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 the conditions that allowed harm to arise.
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.

Navigating the complexities of romantic relationships can be challenging, but when chronic illness is part of the equation, those challenges can often become even more daunting.

Let’s further discuss:

Creating intentional space to practice kink or other forms of intimacy
Self care because you can’t pour from an empty cup
The spoon theory and how it may apply to you
Ways to support your partner, physically and emotionally, when chronic pain strikes
Resources to help you beyond this class
Practical tips for managing differences in energy levels
Identify and work through feelings of guilt, frustration, and isolation that may arise

Partners, friends, and loved ones are welcome to attend this class as there will also be conversations on how to best support those in our lives that live with chronic illness. This workshop is meant to be an inclusive environment that is accommodating for all types of people.

The Pentacle Path Intensive Tarot Training
2025-08-10 - 2025-09-20
The Pentacle Path
Intensive Tarot Training
A six-week interactive course with Miriam Batasherah Green.

This course includes six weeks of intensive tarot exploration with Miriam BatAsherah Green, including: the four worlds and the four suits, the suits and the triple soul, the dual nature and polarities of the deck, working with the major and minor arcana, and scores of tarot layouts for personal exploration and divination. The goal of these classes is to go well beyond working with the tarot as a set of answers and toward understanding tarot as a dynamic practice.
You will leave this course with a profoundly personal relationship to tarot and your cards.
Take the time to embrace a deepening practice

I’ve been personally reading tarot since 1987.
Since 2009, I’ve been actively teaching magick and kabbalah. Every few years, I bring out a daylong tarot intensive. This year, let’s go much deeper into all the ways we can build a deep new tarot practice.
Our six-week course will go live August 10 – September 20, 2025 and will include homework, written lessons, and six live sessions of 90 minutes each. Our group live sessions will happen every Monday evening at 6pm Pacific, but will be recorded for those who can’t attend live.
You will have the option to add an additional 45-minute personal session each week at your own schedule to truly transform your relationship to tarot and magick.
Whether you’re a skilled reader or you’ve struggled to make sense of it all, this course will take your tarot-reading skills and personal intuition to the next level.

ONLINE: The Spark Between Us: Energy, Presence & Power in BDSM with Sir Scott and Lecee
2025-08-10 14:00 - 16:00
Before the flogger lands, before the rope tightens, before the first command is spoken—there’s a spark. That unspoken, electric pull between Dominant and submissive. The gaze that says now. The breath that says yes. That’s the true beginning of the scene.
Join Sacred Fire Kink for “The Spark Between Us,” a live online workshop hosted through Wicked Grounds, where we dive deep into the invisible, intuitive art of energy play in BDSM.
Whether you’re a Dominant learning to shape the space with your presence or a submissive yearning to align your energy in surrender, this class will show you how to tune the current between you and your partner to create scenes that feel magnetic, powerful, and alive.
✨ In this 2-hour experience, we’ll explore:

Breath syncing and energetic polarity
Eye contact, stillness, and presence as tools of command
How to project energy without touch
Energetic feedback loops in scene flow
Cord-cutting and energetic closure practices

Come solo, partnered, or curious. This class is interactive but pressure-free—designed to meet you wherever you are on your kink journey.
Because the best Dominants lead with their energy—and the deepest submission begins in the breath before surrender.

ONLINE: Creating Containers for Kink with HG Wyndell
2025-08-20 18:00 - 20:00
Scenes start when the idea first comes into being. It then builds layers of momentum, it can be anything from a slow burn that moves over years, to an idea that flash boils. Crafting our calling in, setting the stage, and aligning our goals can turn a relatively simple idea into a powerful moment of dreaming. We’ll talk about getting all of our senses on board with our brains and making magic happen.

🔥 BDSM isn’t just play—it’s transformation. 🔥
In this evocative and powerful two-part online series, you’ll explore the deep currents of power, submission, polarity, shadow, and ritual through the lens of archetypes. These aren’t roles you act out—they’re energies that move through you. Sacred. Primal. Mythic.
Whether you’re Dominant, submissive, Switch, or still finding your way, this class offers an unforgettable map of the 18 core archetypes that shape how we love, lead, surrender, resist, and transform in kink.
You’ll get:

A custom Archetype Quiz to identify your dominant energetic patterns
A guided tour through each archetype’s essence, shadow, and ritual signature
A set of archetype one-pagers for self-study and scene inspiration
Frameworks for polarity pairing, energy mapping, and transformation scenes
Journaling, reflection, and optional integration rituals between sessions

✨ This is not a 101 class. This is for those ready to meet themselves in the fire. Expect laughter, tears, archetypal awakenings, and mythic-level “aha” moments.
Session One (Aug 21):

Introduction to archetypes in kink and power exchange
How to read and interpret your quiz results
Overview of the 18 archetypes and their core patterns
Exploration of polarity, projection, and sacred role resonance
Journaling + guided prompts

Session Two (Aug 30):

Integration practices, shadow work, and transformation pathing
Final collective invocation

Presented by Sacred Fire Kink — where submission is a sacrament, and Dominance is a vow.
PRESENTERS:

2025-09-06 14:30 - 17:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
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.

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.
Since this is our pre-Folsom edition, we’ll also talk a bit about how consent works in public spaces like kinky street fairs, conferences, and parties!

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.
