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. 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/e11af4f11b

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Your Kink Is Not My Kink - But Is Your Kink OK? with Sir Panda
DESCRIPTION:The guideline of “Your Kink Is Not My Kink” (YKINMK) has become foundational in the sex positive and BDSM communities as the standard for acceptance of diversity – and as the gold standard to avoid shaming. But what happens when we struggle with another’s kink\, to the point of becoming judgmental\, disturbed\, or even triggered? \nThis class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us\, and why. We’ll examine how to overcome our own biases\, discuss what to report and what not to report\, and how to reach the tolerance of Your Kink Is OK. \nPRESENTER: \nSir-Panda (he/him) is a polyamorous Dominant living in the Kansas City metro area. He has been a kink educator since he began teaching consent and BDSM basics at Seattle’s Center for Sex Positive Culture in 2011. He has taught for Fetish Con\, Leather Reign\, the Kink Center\, Pragmatic Kink\, Wicked Grounds\, and the Venusian Society. He especially focuses on the mental and relationship aspects of kink and polyamory\, drawing on over 30 years of experience and a passion for research. \nSir Panda is a Certified Professional Life Coach\, an Accredited Relationship Coach\, a Mental Health First Aider\, a consent advocate\, and a member of the Social Psychology Network. Find him on FetLife as Sir-Panda or Instagram and Substack as RealSirPanda. To learn more or to book a coaching session\, please visit www.dsoutreach.com. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Consent\, Accountability\, and Neurodivergence: A Two Part Series with Adam
DESCRIPTION:How does neurodivergence affect consent – including mistakes\, incidents\, and violations? How does it affect boundaries\, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two)\, and accountability at the personal\, interpersonal\, and community levels? \nIn this participatory two part workshop\, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. We’ll look through a trauma- and disability justice-informed lens\, and talk about common patterns\, subjective interpretations\, ascriptions\, and communication-based on neurotypes\, socialization\, and lived experience. We will make space for embodied activities and create plenty of room for community members to share their experiences. \nPRESENTER: \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 has been 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. \nTICKETING: \n$60 suggested.

SUMMARY:Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires - A Six Week Course with Miriam Green
