SUMMARY:ONLINE: Autism and Kink with John Pendal
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we look at the overlap between autism and kink. \n\nWhat is autism\, and what’s the right language to use?\nWhy might an autistic person be attracted to a kinky environment?\nCan BDSM be used as a form of sensory regulation?\nWhat’s the difference between neurotypical and autistic communication?\nWhat would be useful to know if you’re playing with a neurodivergent person?\nAnd how can you negotiate a scene with someone who doesn’t know where masking ends and they begin?\n\nThis workshop isn’t just for autistic folk\, it can help anyone who feels like an outsider or would like to create a more inclusive environment. \nPRESENTER: \nExperienced BDSM educator and comedian John Pendal joins us all the way from London\, England. \nIn 2003\, John became the 25th person (and only Brit) to win the annual International Mr Leather contest in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Kinky Speed Friending with PsychoKitty
DESCRIPTION:We can’t promise love\, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people\, a lot of people\, fast. \nOur purpose is to encourage you to meet new people. \n– Find people with similar kinks as yours. \n– Find people with whom to explore new kinks. \n– Find new friends. \n– Find new people to play with. \n  \nPeople 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. \nThe 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. \nOnce the event has started\, we can not add new people\, so please be on time. \n  \nPRESENTER: \nRyan “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. \n  \nACCESS: \nIn 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. \nWe cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun)\, so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded. \nPlease 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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Dating as Shadow Work: Turning Emotional Triggers into Pathways of Growth with Marie Thouin PhD
DESCRIPTION:Dating has a way of bringing uncomfortable feelings to the surface—fast. Few other arenas of life expose our tender spots like romance does. One moment\, we are flying high and find ourselves pedestalizing hot strangers; the next\, we’re swimming in insecurity\, shame\, devastation\, or hopelessness. \nOur shadow self represents the parts of us that we hide from our own sight—patterns and traits we would prefer not to feel\, identify with\, or be viewed as by others. However\, what we resist persists: when repressed\, our shadow often controls our lives from the sidelines\, keeping authentic love and connection at arm’s length. \nIntegrating the shadow is about reclaiming disowned parts of ourselves in order to gain awareness\, wholeness\, and personal agency. In this class\, we’ll explore dating as a spiritual and psychological practice—a living lab for shadow integration. Through guided reflection\, dialogue\, and practical tools\, we’ll look at the emotions we most want to avoid: embarrassment\, humiliation\, abandonment\, disappointment\, shame\, insecurity\, grandiosity\, and more. We will learn how to work with them skillfully. Rather than chasing validation or avoiding pain\, we’ll reframe dating as a path of self-inquiry\, expansion\, and authenticity. With this framework\, every experience\, even “bad dates\,” becomes material for growth\, self-reclamation\, and emotional liberation. \nBy shifting from a win/lose mindset to one of curiosity and evolution\, participants will learn how to date from a place of truth in relationships—not from the shadow’s behind-the-scenes manipulation. \nYou’ll learn how to: \nRecognize and name shadow emotions and patterns that surface in your dating experiences \nTransform emotional triggers into insights for integration and healing \nReclaim your psycho-emotional space from rejection loops and idealization \nApproach dating as a sacred practice of awareness\, embodiment\, and authenticity \nDate others from a place of wholeness and authenticity\, paving the path to better relationships \nFormat: \nEmbodied meditation + interactive talk + guided reflection exercises + group dialogue \nWho it’s for: \nThis class is for anyone who senses that dating can be more than just a search for “the one” and that it can be a profound mirror and teacher. \nIt’s especially for: \nIntellectually and spiritually curious humans who love psychological depth and meaning-making \nRelationship geeks and emotional explorers who want to understand their own patterns more deeply \nQueer\, non-monogamous\, kinky\, or otherwise non-traditional daters seeking a growth-oriented framework that honors their complexity \nFree spirits who want to love and connect authentically\, without giving away their power \nAnyone tired of repetitive loops who’s ready to use dating as a site of awakening rather than reenactment \nNo matter your gender\, orientation\, or relational style\, this space invites honesty\, courage\, and curiosity about what dating stirs within you\, and how every emotional trigger can become a doorway to greater freedom. \nPRESENTER: \nMarie Thouin\, PhD is a Dating & Relationship Coach who supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives. She is the author of “What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships\,” the first-ever comprehensive scholarly book on compersion. She has been featured in several publications and podcasts\, including ELLE\, the Savage Lovecast\, The Times of London\, and HuffPost. Marie has also published seminal research studies\, the first encyclopedia entry on compersion\, and is the creator of www.WhatIsCompersion.com\, a popular website that features her research\, blogs\, and resources on the topic of compersion.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Negotiation Skills for subs & Bottoms with Faun
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re brand-spanking new to the kink scene\, or you’ve been involved for years\, negotiating a new scene or with a new partner can be a daunting concept for kinky submissives and anyone on the lower side of the D/s slash. \nIn this workshop led by a sub with extensive experience Domming\, we’ll examine the do’s and don’ts of effective negotiating communication\, how to navigate the scene\, ways to identify important traits in compatible play partners\, and guide kinksters of all levels and experiences to co-creating the scenes they’ve always wanted to have! \nThere will also be a live demonstration of pick-up play negotiation and an open Q&A at the end. \nPRESENTER: \nFaun (he/him) is a smut writer and kink educator from the Pacific Northwest.

Now\, he hopes to help others find their own niche in the kink community by sharing what he’s learned through study and experience. You can find him on AO3 and tumblr as spiraledfaun\, and on Fet as deerfaun. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/7b63ba9036

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Arcane D/s: Energetic Feeding and Conscious Inequality with Lee Harrington
DESCRIPTION:When we talk about power exchange in BDSM\, the actual exchange of power is often assumed rather than examined yet it’s a profound force worth exploring. Whether you identify as kinky or not\, consciously shaping the dynamics between people can open doors to life force\, intimacy\, and the energetic dance that lives between individuals or groups. \nIn this class\, we’ll look at both intentional and unconscious power exchange patterns\, why someone might step into them for a night or for a lifetime\, and how these tools can support your magical work\, energetic feeding\, or broader life path. We’ll also bring awareness to astral connections\, accidental bonds\, and the ways these dynamics can veer into harm if left unchecked. Power is power\, and inequality is not inequity – so let’s walk into this conversation with curiosity\, courage\, and our eyes wide open. \nPRESENTER: \nLee Harrington is an internationally known spiritual and erotic authenticity educator\, gender explorer\, eclectic artist and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. He’s been traveling the globe teaching and talking about sexuality\, psychology\, faith and desire\, and believes you deserve passion and connection in your life. His books include “Playing Well With Others: Your Guide to Discovering\, Exploring and Negotiating the Kink\, Leather and BDSM Communities” (with Mollena Williams)\, “Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond\,” “Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macramé\,” and “Traversing Gender: Understanding Transgender Realities\,” amongst many others. Lee has been a passion instigator\, academic\, adult film performer\, world class sexual adventurer\, outspoken philosopher\, polytheist priest/ess\, kink/bondage expert\, and has been blogging about sex and spirit since 1998. Read more about Lee at PassionAndSoul.com. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Receiving Service Well: Is This Meaningful to You? with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:Most conversations about service focus on what a submissive is willing or eager to offer\, which is lovely. However\, far less attention is given to the Dominant staring at a lovingly presented act of service and thinking\, with genuine affection\, “I appreciate this very much\, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it.” \nThis class is for anyone who wants to better understand what service actually means to them. We will discuss different forms of service\, how to identify what you genuinely enjoy receiving\, how to communicate preferences and standards clearly\, and how service-oriented submissives can better understand what makes an act feel meaningful to the person receiving it. Sometimes that means completing a task in the quickest or most practical way. Sometimes it means doing it in a very odd and particular way because that is what the Dominant enjoys\, values\, or has asked for. \nIt may be easy to say that service well done is service wanted\, but what does that actually mean in practice? What happens when efficiency and preference point in different directions? The goal is for you to leave with practical tools for building service dynamics with less hopeful guesswork and far fewer beautifully polished things nobody really asked for. \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM\, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA\, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research\, he has developed and led community education programs on kink\, consent\, trauma awareness\, and ethical non-monogamy. \nAt the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/87c121c137

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/95399eca57

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Trauma Response As An s-Type with Oak
DESCRIPTION:All of us have experienced some form of trauma\, and many of us have experienced complex traumas. Trauma informs how we move through the world and within our relationships\, including D/s. Trauma response in submission is not a failure of submission; they’re pieces of us that have allowed us to survive. However\, when they show up inside a D/s dynamic\, they can get in the way of a grounded & chosen submission. \nThis interactive discussion asks how you tell the difference. Not just intellectually\, but in your body\, the moment\, and in the relationship. We’ll look at how nervous system activation shapes response\, and why a conditioned pattern can feel indistinguishable from a chosen one. \nWe’ll build language for what’s actually happening. We’ll look at what belongs to trauma\, to desire\, and what happens when the two have been living in the same room so long you’ve stopped noticing. \nThe frame we’ll return to the idea that submission is not the abandonment of the self. Submission is ideally an intentional offering of self. \nPRESENTER: \nOak is a community educator\, artist\, and collared & Owned sub with decades of work & event production in the Leather community. As the creator behind Oaken designs\, his artwork explores themes of devotion\, reverence\, and depravity through multiple mediums including resin work. Oak loves to facilitate conversations about ethical submission\, embodied consent\, and trauma-informed power. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/1d34453683
