SUMMARY:ONLINE: Strangers in the Night: Fray Sexuality\, Relationships & YOU! with Lady V
DESCRIPTION:Fray Sexuality is often described as an attraction to new and/or unfamiliar people\, often with little to no interpersonal connection previously. \nBeing Fray Sexual doesn’t mean you can’t have or maintain relationships.

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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: High Protocol for D/s with Sinclair Sexsmith
DESCRIPTION:Making rules\, tasks\, and ongoing protocol is one of the cornerstones of D/s dynamics. But it can be daunting to figure out where to start\, how to create different structures of protocol for different spaces\, and how to maintain the strict container. \nWe’ll go over some tools that help make protocol easier to experiment with and implement\, such as the cartography of control areas\, the protocol game\, and levels of protocol. Ultimately\, protocol is all about creating adjustable\, adaptable guidelines that feed the dynamic and enhance D/s headspace.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Boundaries: Mapping the Self in Community with HG Wyndell

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). Sir Panda can be contacted on FetLife and Discord as SirPandaSeattle. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; $20-$40 scale. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

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

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.
