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: Trans Awareness & Playing With Trans* Folks with Lee Harrington
DESCRIPTION:There are so many words for gender\, sex\, and sexuality these days\, and it can feel confusing – or even emotional – when we’re unsure how to talk with our trans\, nonbinary\, or non-trans partners about desire. Together\, we’ll build skills for richer\, more connected kink\, play\, and sexual exploration across gender-diverse experiences. \nThis class will explore language\, disclosure\, desire\, conversations worth having\, and the vibrant mix of identity and expression that shapes how we meet one another.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: What Now? Responding to Consent Injuries with Sir Panda

Let’s consider how we handle it as a stranger\, a friend\, or an event host.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Sustainable Dominance: Managing Capacity in Long-Term Leadership with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:Long-term dominance asks a great deal of a person. While maintaining a dynamic is a shared responsibility\, many Doms choose to carry a significant share of the structure\, planning\, co-regulation\, and day-to-day care that keeps it running. Over time\, that responsibility can become exhausting\, particularly if they feel expected to remain endlessly capable\, composed\, and available. \nThis class focuses on the emotional and practical work of sustaining authority over time\, without falling into the dreaded pit of burnout. We will discuss decision fatigue\, Dom drop\, resentment\, inconsistent capacity\, unrealistic expectations\, and the pressure to be “the stable one” through every demand life places upon you and yours. \nYou will learn ways to communicate boundaries and capacity clearly\, receive support\, and build systems that involve submissive partners in maintaining the relationship they are also part of. If you’re a D-type who loves holding responsibility (perhaps a little too much)\, an s-type who wants to learn more about D-type burnout\, or anywhere in between\, this is the class for you! \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/f1689c15e9

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Why We Don't Speak Up with John Pendal
DESCRIPTION:A lot of discussion about consent relies on being able to speak up. For example: \n• Standing up for yourself in negotiations\n• Being able to clearly state your needs\, wants\, desires and limits\n• Agreeing to AND BEING ABLE TO USE a safe word during the scene \nBut there are occasions when our voices may leave us\, e.g. feeling that everyone has invested too much in the scene and we don’t want to let others down\, flooded with endorphins or adrenaline\, reliving past trauma\, falling in love with your play partner\, autistic shutdown – and that’s what this workshop covers. \nWe examine the many reasons why anyone may stay silent during a kink scene – whether they are a novice or experienced player. What to do if someone is triggered\, and different strategies to help people communicate – even if they’ve had a lifetime of ‘people pleasing’ or don’t know who they are. \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. Since then\, he has traveled worldwide teaching SM education\, giving speeches\, acting as a master of ceremonies\, or doing stand-up comedy. \nHe has taught workshops at Down and Dirty (Melbourne)\, Inferno\, Lupercalia (Edmonton)\, Minnesota Leather Pride\, Mr. Leatherman Toronto\, Palm Springs Leather Pride\, Rome BDSM Conference (Italy)\, SINSations in Leather\, Spring in the South (Atlanta)\, Tribal Fire (Oklahoma)\, and Thunder in the Mountains (Denver). \nwww.johnpendal.com \nTICKETING \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/c4ac822ab2

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The world over\, body modification is used as a way to express identity – whether that is self-identity\, cultural (or subcultural) affiliation\, milestones\, political views\, or spiritual connections. We have all made modifications to live our lives\, such as having a specific hair style to blend in with our peer circles or dressing in a certain way. We will look at the wide variety of body modifications available today from henna/mehndi to hook suspension\, tattoos to ritual jewelry\, stage makeup to genital reconstruction surgery\, breast augmentation to flesh removal. We will also discuss the energy inherent in each type of modification\, issues of cultural appropriation\, and the social implications of body modification. Let’s examine why every act of modifying our flesh can be sacred\, and every act can be profane – no matter the type of alteration\, no matter the transformation. \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. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/9eb8fccce7
