Astrology & Kink, presented by The Unconventional Plutonian
Your chart doesn’t just say who you are—it shows you how you want to be erotically met.
Welcome to AstroKink—where the planets help you discover your kink archetypes and your birth chart becomes a playground and framework for exploring desire, power, and possibility.
We’re talking:

Your Venus as your pleasure style (romantic, indulgent, aesthetic, or chaotic)
Your Mars as how you pursue, initiate, and play with intensity
Your Moon as your emotional needs in kink and power exchange
Your Saturn as your edges, limits, discipline, and restraint kinks
Your Pluto as your intensity and shadow taboos that could lead to obsession or transformation

In this live virtual class, you will:

Play with planetary archetypes as gateways into different kink dynamics (Brat, Caregiver, Ruler, Trickster, Devotee, etc.)
Learn new tools for communicating desires and boundaries with clarity
Discover shadow, taboo, and desire through Pluto and the 8th house
Experience space to explore your personal astrology and kinky edges without shame or pressure

ONLINE: BDSM Negotiation Basics with Miriam Green
2026-06-09 18:00 - 20:00
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.
You may also book personal consulting and coaching sessions with them at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com
TICKETING:
The regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay. We offer a sliding scale, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford.

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.

ONLINE: Building Confidence in the Bedroom: Own Your Energy with Dolly Diatima
2026-06-11 18:00 - 20:00
There is a moment when everything shifts, when you stop worrying about being perceived and instead start taking control of the energy of the room.
This class is about stepping into that moment and stepping into your full power.
Through guided exercises, intentional movement, and a little bit of acting technique and sex magic, you will learn how to drop into your body and move without hesitation or nerves. In this class, we will explore the power of eye contact, stillness, silence, and drawing your partner or partners’ focus to you, as well as how to get out of your head and stay fully present. We will cover using your voice and subtle cues to build tension and connection, as well as how to let go of any self-consciousness as you step into your sexiest self.
This class isn’t about scripts or perfection but instead about awareness, control, and owning your desires.
No rushing. No second-guessing. Just you, fully present and completely in control of the energy you bring.
PRESENTER:
Dolly 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.

ONLINE: Sex Magick for Kinksters with Miriam Green
2026-06-13 11:00 - 13:00
The traditional definition of magick is “the art and science of changing consciousness in conformity with Will.” We could also say it’s a way of moving and transforming energy and perception. In terms of our life work, magick is a set of tools that allows us to get out of our own way to more effectively do our work in the world.
The magickian’s tool kit includes techniques such as ecstatic trance, symbolic ritual, polarity work, breathing techniques, sensual immersion, and more. The sex magickian specifically works with the energies raised in solo or partnered play as fuel for their spellwork or life Work.
Those tools should seem very familiar to us kinksters. You may not be a magickian, but most of us are playing around in the magickian’s tool kit.
This class will explore some basic information on how to understand the potent energies invoked in D/s and S/m. We’ll talk about the nature of the soul, how to engage the deeper mind, creating a safe container for a scene, and what one can do with the energies we raise in BDSM play. Whether you believe in magick, want to believe in magick, or think this is all just a fun metaphor for how the mind works, you are sure to gain new tools and perspectives on BDSM play by attending this class.
PRESENTER:
Miriam BatAsherah Green has been in the public kink scene for twenty years in the Austin, Houston, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of kink classes online and in person throughout the Southwestern US, and have been teaching to magickal communities since long before teaching on kink.

OAK: Lap Dancing Fundamentals with Alexandria of Click Your Heels
2026-06-14 12:00 - 15:00 | East Bay Community Space, 507 55th Street, Oakland, CA, 94609, United States
All Bodies, All Genders! YOU are welcome as you are. You don’t have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.
Join us for the 3-hour workshop of Alexandria’s wildly popular Lap Dancing classes. These always sell out so get your spot quick. Like all Click Your Heels events, these classes are primarily about building body confidence, practicing body awareness in real time, and holding a safe community space for all of us to be brave. We value and celebrate genuine erotic spirit, as is the birthright of all human bodies. Embody your sensual power in a whole new way. Buy your ticket now!
Learn simple and easy moves and rules to give a lap dance to any person you choose, with any type of music you like. No dance experience required! We will teach you to make the most of your natural instincts. This is a slow and powerful style of lap dancing that doesn’t require any serious moves and certainly no tricks. 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.
We 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 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.)
We 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.
No partner required: Individuals, pairs, and more-somes all welcome.
Remember that lap dancing is vulnerable and takes courage!
Use your common sense and be considerate of your classmates.

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.
After 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.

(C) Please check the full lyrics in advance! Avoid anything with common triggers such as racism, sexism, rape, murder, etc.
Not 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.
