SUMMARY:ONLINE: Trauma Response As An s-Type with Oak
DESCRIPTION:All of us have experienced some form of trauma\, and many of us have experienced complex traumas. Trauma informs how we move through the world and within our relationships\, including D/s. Trauma response in submission is not a failure of submission; they’re pieces of us that have allowed us to survive. However\, when they show up inside a D/s dynamic\, they can get in the way of a grounded & chosen submission. \nThis interactive discussion asks how you tell the difference. Not just intellectually\, but in your body\, the moment\, and in the relationship. We’ll look at how nervous system activation shapes response\, and why a conditioned pattern can feel indistinguishable from a chosen one. \nWe’ll build language for what’s actually happening. We’ll look at what belongs to trauma\, to desire\, and what happens when the two have been living in the same room so long you’ve stopped noticing. \nThe frame we’ll return to the idea that submission is not the abandonment of the self. Submission is ideally an intentional offering of self. \nPRESENTER: \nOak is a community educator\, artist\, and collared & Owned sub with decades of work & event production in the Leather community. As the creator behind Oaken designs\, his artwork explores themes of devotion\, reverence\, and depravity through multiple mediums including resin work. Oak loves to facilitate conversations about ethical submission\, embodied consent\, and trauma-informed power. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/1d34453683

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. You’ll come away from this discussion with tools and structure to elevate your protocol in any situation. \nPRESENTER: \nSINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch\, a leather dominant\, and a writer\, focusing on individual\, interpersonal\, and institutional systems of power. They study dominance and submission\, social & restorative justice\, the energetic body\, trauma\, and transformation. They have been in the kink communities since 1999\, and orchestrate transformative kink scenes through written erotica and ritual practice. They actively explore the philosophies of power exchange and the practicalities of sustainable\, long term D/s. As a leather community member\, titleholder\, and organizer\, Sinclair has presented and performed 200+ times at 75+ venues\, including International Ms. Leather\, Dark Odyssey\, SXSW\, Harvard\, and Oz Kink Fest. Their short story collection\, Sweet & Rough: Queer Kink Erotica\, was a 2016 finalist for a Lambda Literary Award\, and they have edited 7 queer erotica anthologies; their latest book is Daddy4Daddy: Queer Kink Erotica.

SUMMARY:Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires - A Six Week Course with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION:The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out\, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires?\nThis six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). \n\n\nEngage in a journey of self-discovery\n\nThis six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). \nTogether\, we’ll explore: \nDiscovering and honoring what turns you on \nSafely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism \nTrying new skills in the bedroom and beyond \nDeepening your insights into your own desires \nDisentangling from others’ erotic projections \nFinding your voice and speaking freely \nSharing the desires you’re afraid to voice \n\nAbout Miriam Green\n\nMiriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over twenty years in the Austin\, Houston\, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community\, BDSM negotiations\, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds\, San Francisco’s leader in BDSM education and community building. \nHow we’ll engage\nThe six week course will run live from November 1 – December 14\, 2026. \nThis class will include six total weeks of content and homework\, three 90-minute live online group sessions on Monday evenings (all recorded for later participation if needed)\, and at least one half-hour individual consult with instructor Miriam Green. (Our class tiers include the option to add more consulting for your own journey.) \nOur three 90-minute live group sessions will be offered via Zoom on Monday\, November 2; Monday\, November 23; and Monday\, December 7 – all at 6pm Pacific time. \nSessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. \nIs this course for you?\n\nDo you get stuck when asked “what do you want in intimate relationships?”\nAre you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks?\nHave you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism?\nDo you want a deep understanding of the physical and psychological responses you have to kink?\nDo you want to connect deeply with others?\n\nThen yes: this course is for you! \nPrevious students say …\n“Knowing why you do kink is the most valuable asset any kinkster can have\, moreso than any technique or toy on the market. Mir’s inclusive framework and expansive knowledge base create an amazing sandbox for players to explore what makes them tick and how to better pursue it. Whether you’ve been playing for five minutes or fifty years\, this class is a game-changer!” – Ari Can-Do \nTICKETING: \nhttps://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/p/diving-deep-discovering-and-voicing-your-desires_2026

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Trickster at the Crossroads: Myth and Mischief in Kinky Roleplay with Lila Hades\, The Unconventional Plutonian
DESCRIPTION:What might your desires reveal when you invite the sacred troublemaker into your kink practice? \nAcross mythology\, Tricksters steal from the powerful\, cross forbidden boundaries\, change shape\, speak dangerous truths\, and lure others into bargains whose meanings are never quite what they seem. \nThey disrupt the ordinary world—and create openings for transformation\, freedom\, pleasure\, and possibility. \nIn this two-hour interactive workshop\, we will explore how Trickster archetypes can inspire kink\, erotic storytelling\, and roleplay. \nThrough mythology\, guided reflection\, and collaborative scene-building\, participants will discover their own styles of erotic mischief and experiment with tools such as temptation\, riddles\, wagers\, shapeshifting\, secret identities\, playful rule-breaking\, power reversals\, and negotiated surprise. \nWe will also examine the ethics of Trickster play. How can we create the feeling of unpredictability without compromising informed consent? What is the difference between a fictional betrayal and a real one? How do we negotiate games in which characters lie\, rules appear to change\, or power is not where it first seems to be? Participants will learn how to create a clear container for improvisation so that the story may be chaotic while the players remain cared for. \nCome prepared to meet the thief\, tempter\, fool\, shapeshifter\, riddler\, or beautiful saboteur within you. You will leave with a personalized Trickster archetype\, a framework for negotiating consensual mischief\, and the beginnings of an original roleplay or kink scene. \nNo prior kink\, mythology\, or roleplaying experience is required. \nPRESENTER: \nLila Hades (she/they) is a queer\, neurodivergent word witch & author; trauma-informed conflict resolution practitioner; BDSM & kink educator; and astrologer who founded The Unconventional Plutonian (also known as UP). \nUP’s mission is to empower and inspire courageous personal & communal transformation through a radical and queer lens. Rooted in astrology\, storytelling and the mythic imagination\, BDSM and kink exploration\, and conflict resolution practices\, UP designs events\, kink coaching\, and classes as containers for embodiment\, consent\, and liberatory self-expression. The Unconventional Plutonian exists to cultivate acceptance\, resilience\, and more imaginative ways of being—with ourselves\, with one another\, and with the places we inhabit. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; sliding scale available. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/da4f9455a6
