If you’re uncertain about where to begin\, this course will guide you in discovering what you truly desire from the arrangement you seek. \nThroughout our time\, we’ll engage in meaningful discussions about integrating intentional time into your dynamic\, fostering a relationship where the authority figure genuinely appreciates and accepts what the submissive contributes.

We recognize the diversity within the BDSM community and that many individuals may not inherently identify as service-oriented however\, they still wish to be invaluable to their top or Dominant. If any of this resonates with you\, this seminar will equip you with tools to effectively manage your desires and make sure everyone finds fulfillment and purpose. \nDelve deeper through conversations including: \n\nCreative methods for incorporating service into your dynamic\, infusing it with excitement and innovation\nUnderstanding the responsibilities of all parties involved\, fostering mutual respect and communication\nNegotiating the terms and nuances of this aspect of your relationship to align with both partners’ desires\nAnticipatory service and becoming attuned to your partner’s needs even before they’re expressed\nBalancing service responsibilities with other life obligations\nSetting healthy boundaries and honoring them\nNavigating complications for people pleasers\, ensuring personal well-being while striving to serve others\nThe role of rituals in reinforcing service dynamics\nConsiderations for chronic illness and neurodivergent folks\nAddressing burnout to ensure mental safety\nPsychological benefits of service-oriented relationships\nTechniques for mindfulness and presence during these activities\nHow these types of dynamics can show devotion for the D-type\n\nThere will be 3.5 hours of teaching plus a 30-minute break in the middle so you can stretch your legs and get something to eat without missing anything! We will be going from beginner to more advanced concepts of service so this workshop is open to everyone and every level of experience. \nPRESENTER: \nMiss Mackenzee comes from a queer\, neurodivergent perspective.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Dating as Shadow Work: Turning Emotional Triggers into Pathways of Growth with Marie Thouin PhD
DESCRIPTION:Dating has a way of bringing our shadow to the surface — fast. Few other arenas of modern life expose our tender spots quite like romance does. One moment\, we feel exhilarated; the next\, we’re swimming in shame\, rejection\, insecurity\, or hopelessness. In this class\, we’ll explore dating as a spiritual and psychological practice — a living laboratory for shadow integration. \nThrough guided reflection\, dialogue\, and practical tools\, we’ll look at the emotions we most want to avoid — abandonment\, disappointment\, shame\, embarrassment\, insecurity\, grandiosity — and learn how to work with them skillfully. Rather than chasing validation or avoiding pain\, we’ll reframe dating as a path of self-inquiry and expansion. Every experience\, even the “bad dates\,” becomes material for growth\, self-reclamation\, and emotional liberation. \nBy shifting from a win/lose mindset to one of curiosity and evolution\, participants will learn how to date from wholeness — not from the shadow’s need to be seen\, saved\, or soothed. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nRecognize and name the shadow emotions that surface in dating\nIdentify projection\, fantasy\, and defense patterns in romantic dynamics\nTransform emotional triggers into insights for integration and healing\nReclaim your psycho-emotional space from rejection loops and idealization\nApproach dating as a sacred practice of awareness\, embodiment\, and authenticity\n\nFormat:\nInteractive talk + guided reflection exercises + group dialogue \nWho it’s for:\nThis class is for anyone who senses that dating can be more than just a search for “the one” — and that it can be a profound mirror and teacher. \nIt’s especially for: \n\nIntellectually and spiritually curious humans who love psychological depth and meaning-making\nRelationship geeks and emotional explorers who want to understand their own patterns more deeply\nQueer\, non-monogamous\, kinky\, or otherwise non-traditional daters seeking a growth-oriented framework that honors their complexity\nFree spirits who want to love and connect authentically\, without giving away their power\nAnyone tired of repetitive loops who’s ready to use dating as a site of awakening rather than reenactment\n\nNo matter your gender\, orientation\, or relational style\, this space invites honesty\, courage\, and curiosity about what dating stirs within you — and how every emotional trigger can become a doorway to greater freedom. \nPRESENTER: \nMarie Thouin\, PhD is the author of “What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships\,” the first-ever comprehensive scholarly book on compersion. She has been featured in several publications and podcasts\, including ELLE\, the Savage Lovecast\, The Times of London\, and HuffPost. Marie has also published seminal research studies\, the first encyclopedia entry on compersion\, and is the creator of www.WhatIsCompersion.com\, a popular website that features her research\, blogs\, and resources on the topic of compersion. She is the Founder of Love InSight\, a Mindful Dating & Relationship Coaching practice where she supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/d2423e4586

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Negotiating and Communicating for Emotional S/M with vahavta
DESCRIPTION:Humiliation\, degradation\, objectification\, and other emotion-based play can\, for some people\, provide some of the most intense or playful kink experiences. But as a more abstract kink\, it can be challenging to negotiate effectively. Add the complicated nature of safewording when emotions have already been affected\, and you have a recipe for some potentially major pitfalls. In this class\, join experienced emotional masochist vahavta to explore your interest in emotional play\, discuss some of the possibilities for its directions (both good and bad!)\, and learn how to communicate with partners to minimize harm and maximize the experience you want. \nPRESENTER: \nvahavta began her kink journey about a decade ago and has been grateful to get to teach\, play\, and learn in communities in North Carolina\, Chicago\, St. Louis\, and internationally. Today\, she serves her husband in a 24/7 CNC-based Total Power Exchange with heavy elements of emotional play and service. vahavta is disabled\, Jewish\, and femme\, and believes in approaching kink with a firm understanding of intersectional context. As an educator\, she aims to give honest and risk-aware information that applies to the realities of human behavior\, focusing largely on the “how” and asking people to consider their personal capabilities\, interests\, and readiness. Passionate about community collaboration\, vahavta is proud to run the Risk Evaluation Database (RED) and contribute regularly to kink blogs and her own Fetlife writing index. In all aspects of her life\, she strives to be a work in progress. \nTICKETING: \nThe regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay. We offer multiple price points\, so cost is less of a barrier to attendance. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/5dfee4bec6

SUMMARY:ONLINE: BDSM & Attachment Styles w/ Sir Panda
DESCRIPTION:Attachments are emotional bonds formed in childhood\, and whether we form secure or insecure attachments is dependent upon how our needs for attention\, love\, and growth are met. The patterns set in place carry forward to how we form adult attachments\, including friendships\, romantic partners\, and the bonds of power exchange. \nThis presentation will examine the basics of Attachment Theory\, how attachment styles are expressed\, and how they are manifested in different BDSM identities and roles. The class will also touch on how to encourage secure attachment in ourselves and in our relationships with others. \nPRESENTER: \nSir Panda (He/Him) is a Dominant and sadist who lives his busy polyamorous and kinky life in the Seattle area with his wife and and his collared life partner. He has been a kink educator since he originated the Passport Program at the Center for Sex Positive Culture (CSPC) in 2011\, teaching consent and BDSM basics to new members. In 2015\, Sir Panda founded the View From the Top dominant discussion group\, now hosted online on the fourth Tuesday of the month (https://thecspc.org/event). \nSir Panda has served in a variety of roles in the kink community\, including event host for Arborea Falls and the CSPC\, BDSM Lead for Fantasy Forrest Events\, and Program Lead for KinkFest 2023. He has been a presenter for the CSPC\, Pragmatically Kinking\, the Kink Center\, and Leather Reign\, and is currently an educator with D/s Pacific Northwest (www.dspnw.org).

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Long Distance Polyamory w/ HG Wyndell
DESCRIPTION:Whether partners are 2 hours away or halfway around the world\, it can take a lot more than Google Calendar to make long-distance polyamorous relationships functional\, healthy\, and fulfilling. \nSometimes the distance is a six-month job placement\, sometimes it’s living thousands of miles apart. Distance will multiply the complexity already present in polyamorous\nrelationships. \nWe’ll discuss the challenges\, additional dynamics\, and helpful approaches to long-distance polyamory based on lived experience. Hopefully leaving you with more tools in your toolbox for figuring out how to make it work in healthy and fulfilling ways for you. \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 scale.

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

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Swiping with Marie Thouin\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Swiping is Dr. Marie Thouin’s transformative framework for using dating apps with intention\, authenticity\, and self-love. \nWhile dating apps aren’t designed for our well-being—they’re gamified to prey on our attention and self-worth—they’re also a powerful tool for sparking new real-life connections. Let’s outsmart the downsides and learn to use this technology with next-level integrity and skill! 😌 \nInstead of getting stuck in the swipe-scroll trap\, we’ll learn how to use the apps as a practice—to cultivate discernment\, inner peace\, creativity\, and loving-kindness\, all while fostering real and meaningful connections with others. \n💫 What You’ll Learn:\nThis is a high-impact\, practical workshop exploring Dr. Marie’s Mindful Swiping framework in depth. You’ll learn how to: \n🕯️Ritualize your Use of the Apps: Set clear goals\, practice digital hygiene\, and create meaningful containers around your dating practice. \n📸 Build an Authentic Profile: Choose photos and write prompts that reflect who you really are—while turning profile creation into a growth experience. \n🧭 Practice Discernment: Strengthen your self-trust when deciding who to match with\, how to message\, and when to walk away. \n💞 Lead with Loving-Kindness: Stay grounded in your values\, treat yourself and others with care\, and transform dating into a path of connection and growth. \nThis isn’t another sleazy “get-them-to-like-you” class 🚫. \nThis is a soulful\, actionable strategy for turning online dating into a practice of self-discovery\, empowerment\, and intimacy 🌱. \n🌈 This virtual workshop is geared towards daters of all genders\, orientations\, ages\, and relationship styles! \nPRESENTER: \nMarie Thouin\, PhD is the author of “What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships\,” the first-ever comprehensive scholarly book on compersion. She has been featured in several publications and podcasts\, including ELLE\, the Savage Lovecast\, The Times of London\, and HuffPost. Marie has also published seminal research studies\, the first encyclopedia entry on compersion\, and is the creator of www.WhatIsCompersion.com\, a popular website that features her research\, blogs\, and resources on the topic of compersion. She is the Founder of Love InSight\, a Mindful Dating & Relationship Coaching practice where she supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a443d33e4f
