SUMMARY:ONLINE: From ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ to Boundaries: Healing Consent Culture in BDSM with Buzz Stingyear
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt that kink community wasn’t there for you? Are you confronting unhelpful worldviews around consent that you’ve struggled to shift? Would you like to learn how to be less reactive or annoyed and more open to your [potential] partners’ perspectives? If so\, this class is for you! \nThis course explores the emotional\, social\, and psychological dimensions of consent beyond the basics. Participants will unpack common resistance to consent culture and deepen their understanding through reflection\, dialogue\, and experiential practice. Learn when “boys will be boys” or “it’s just my way” is applicable to consent culture. Even those of us who are profoundly dedicated to the ideas of consent sometimes resist the culture and practices of consent. Or we are not even aware that what we are doing is related to kink and therefore think it is not under the purview of consent. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn to: \n\nUnderstand what “nuance” in consent means and why it matters\nExplore how context and assumptions impact BDSM consent\nDetermine whether you can be a badass or a Dominant/Top and still be religious about consent\nExamine the conflict that arises when your authentic self conflicts with another’s authentic self in relation to consent\nUnpack personal resistance to consent practices and replace resistance with enthusiasm\nIdentify personal experiences with clear vs. unclear consent\n\nPRESENTER: \nBuzz_Stingyear is a late-blooming kinkster who grew up in a money-driven\, Trump-aligned household. He internalized a rigid worldview that took years of effort to unravel. With a doctorate in Counseling Psychology\, he strives to align his personal growth with his training. Entering the public kink community exposed him to the transformative power of feedback\, accountability\, and consent culture. Behaviors once normalized in his vanilla world were challenged and reexamined. Buzz remains committed to self growth\, becoming less reactive and more compassionate\, and supporting others in finding connection\, safety\, and self-awareness within the kink community. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a332d6e3c3

SUMMARY:ONLINE: From Harm to Healing with Adam and Ash of Consent Academy
DESCRIPTION:Harm happens — from abuse of power to consent incidents and violations. When it does\, it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these events are handled well. Too often they’re not\, which frequently leads to more harm. \nJoin us for a look at new ways to deal with harm 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 conditions that allow harm to arise in the first place.” \nConsent 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. \nINSTRUCTORS: \nAdam 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. \nAsha 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. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/f9d4f12406 \nWe offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. \nThe regular ticket is $45 for this three-hour class. This is what most people should pay. Choose the level you can comfortably afford on our $30-$80 sliding scale. \nPatreon members at the VIP+ level may get discounted tickets for $15. Just see your Patreon membership emails for this month’s discount code.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Beyond the Kitchen Table: Modes and Models of Parallel Polyamory with Laura Boyle

In this Economy? Finances\, Childrearing\, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory. She’s the voice behind the Ready for Polyamory blog and podcast\, and has been an expert voice on polyamory in such publications as The Boston Globe and Cosmopolitan. She’s been polyamorous for nearly 20 years and has been teaching since 2018. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/b5a15df977

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Boundaries: Mapping the Self in Community with HG Wyndell
DESCRIPTION:Clear boundaries support our personal clarity and our relationships with others. They help identify our most rooted needs\, values\, and desires. However\, our culture doesn’t always provide good models for setting healthy boundaries that serve us and our relationships. Great boundaries allow us to make more room for what we really want. \nIn this class\, we will explore: \n\nThe values and benefits of clear boundaries\nExercises to explore our relationship with boundaries\nHow to reclaim your boundaries while being inclusive\, open\, and receptive to change\nUsing boundaries to set limits and build trust\nBoundaries in the domains of our life: relationships\, personal\, privacy\, work\, etc.\nUsing personal boundaries to prepare for kink negotiations\nAnd taking accountability and impact for miscommunications and consent collisions\n\nAfter the class\, you will receive a set of exercises and journaling prompts to further explore your own boundaries based on what you’ve learned. \nCome join us. Get curious. Ask questions\, and apply your sense of wonder to the ways you interact with and at your edges. \nPRESENTER: \nHG Wyndell is an activist\, educator\, and Spiritworker who is driven to facilitate accessible ritual spaces for folks seeking access to more deeply nourishing relationships with themselves and others. They are committed to living life through a lens of wonder\, and in our experience\, they don’t mess around when it comes to embracing the complex beingness of whoever is blessed to be in their presence and consideration. They weave their lived experiences with intentional relationship\, genuine gender expression\, ceremony\, creative arts\, chronic illness\, and embracing pleasure seamlessly with a whole lot of love and a good bit of magic into the rich curriculum they offer. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; $20-$40. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. \nChoose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/0fc539244c
