SUMMARY:Kink Class Incubator from Concept to Launch
DESCRIPTION:Ready to take charge of your curriculum?\n\nSince 2019\, Wicked Grounds Annex has provided resources for our instructors and would-be instructors to develop stronger\, more impactful\, more engaging classes — along with strategies to find\, engage\, and build communities with the best students for their content. \nWe can help you change kink culture for the better by refining your course ideas and optimizing your marketing approach. This course will improve classes and marketing for experienced and new instructors alike. \n  \n\nOur approach\n\nIn this class\, you’ll learn what you need to get a basic start teaching in kink\, polyamory\, fetish\, magick — or any other peer-taught subject. Of course\, we’d be delighted if you plan to teach with Wicked Grounds\, but our goal is to create great teachers who can teach anywhere. \n  \nThroughout May 2026\, you will learn to: \nRefine and sharpen your core message \nFigure out what you really want to say — what only you can \nDifferentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge \nMarket your class in ways that really work \nInclude your students\, and learn as you teach \nGive a class that makes a difference \nEngage your audience and build your fans \nHow we’ll engage\nStarting 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. \nYou’ll use the same approach that Miriam Green — a retired marketing consultant — uses to develop\, market\, and continually improve their classes. \nThis 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. \nStudents 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. \nAll 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. \n\nAbout Miriam Green\n\nMiriam Green has been a BDSM and kink educator since 2014\, when they acquired Wicked Grounds. Mir teaches 4-5 classes per month on average for Wicked Grounds and has also taught repeat engagements for Society of Janus\, Dark Odyssey Events\, Foundations\, Arizona Power Exchange (APEX)\, Desert Dominion\, and several other organizations and events. \nBefore joining the BDSM world\, Mir was a marketing\, brand and product development research consultant for several Fortune 500 companies under their day-to-day name\, and they leverage their niche marketing & product development knowledge in their own marketing and this class. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/p/kink-class-incubator-from-concept-to-launch111

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Listening with Empathy with Master Retro Bella
DESCRIPTION:One of the most common traits among failed scenes\, negotiations\, and contract discussions is misunderstanding the intent behind a verbal statement. Oftentimes the intent is buried behind “under talk” and lack of trust. This can be particularly challenging when communication is already at a standstill. Join me as we explore how to regain trust and relearn how to listen with empathy. \nIn this class\, we will be covering: \n\nWhat is “Under talk” and how can we recognize it in our speech\nReading body language or the lack of body language\nLearning how to become a more empathic person\nRebuilding trust after a communication break down\nHow to create a safe place for private talks\n\nPRESENTER: \nMaster Retro Bella is a Latina High Femme Master and Leather woman from Bakersfield\, California. Her pronouns are She/Her/Hers. She is the first woman to earn the title of 2023 Southwest Master and became the first person of Latin descent to hold the 2024 International Master title. She is passionate about Latinx/ne representation in M/s and Leather spaces. This passion fueled her to create the Latine Leather Pride flag\, which debuted at South Plains Leatherfest in 2025\, and to become the founder of Latinos in Leather. Recognized as one of the Onyx Pearls’ “Young 8\,” she carries the pearl name Amara Pearl. Currently\, Master Retro Bella curates the Latinx Queer Chronicles on Substack\, which showcases the intersectionality of queerness and Latinidad. \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/412287efca
