This two-part course meets on both 3/4 and 4/2 at 6pm Pacific each evening.

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.
Part 2:
This extended version of Elemental Magic in BDSM deepens your connection to the lunar current—showing you how to layer the energy of the Full Moon into your power exchange practice.
Building on the foundational teachings of Elemental Magic 1.0, this class integrates lunar timing into your energetic blueprint, exploring how moon phases can magnify your intention, alignment, and clarity in dominance or submission. Whether you’re leading or yielding, you’ll walk away with tools that strengthen your flow through both chaos and stillness. Includes a live altar demonstration, Full Moon attunement tools, and a guided Q&A integration space.
You’ll leave with:

ONLINE: Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green
2026-04-07 18:00 - 20:00
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!
PRESENTER:
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.

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.

2026-04-12 14:00 - 16:00
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.

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.

Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires - A Six Week Course with Miriam Green
2026-11-01 18:00 - 2026-12-14 18:00
The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires?
This six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase).

Is this course for you?

Do you get stuck when asked “what do you want in intimate relationships?”
Are you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks?
Have you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism?
Do you want a deep understanding of the physical and psychological responses you have to kink?
Do you want to connect deeply with others?

Then yes: this course is for you!
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. Whether you’ve been playing for five minutes or fifty years, this class is a game-changer!” – Ari Can-Do
