SUMMARY:ONLINE: Sustainable Dominance: Managing Capacity in Long-Term Leadership with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:Long-term dominance asks a great deal of a person. While maintaining a dynamic is a shared responsibility\, many Doms choose to carry a significant share of the structure\, planning\, co-regulation\, and day-to-day care that keeps it running. Over time\, that responsibility can become exhausting\, particularly if they feel expected to remain endlessly capable\, composed\, and available. \nThis class focuses on the emotional and practical work of sustaining authority over time\, without falling into the dreaded pit of burnout. We will discuss decision fatigue\, Dom drop\, resentment\, inconsistent capacity\, unrealistic expectations\, and the pressure to be “the stable one” through every demand life places upon you and yours. \nYou will learn ways to communicate boundaries and capacity clearly\, receive support\, and build systems that involve submissive partners in maintaining the relationship they are also part of. If you’re a D-type who loves holding responsibility (perhaps a little too much)\, an s-type who wants to learn more about D-type burnout\, or anywhere in between\, this is the class for you! \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: DIY Power Dynamics with Empress Oxblood
DESCRIPTION:When you hear the term “Dominant/submissive relationship” a specific image may come to mind: a leather-clad domme with a high-heeled boot on her bound and gagged submissive’s back or perhaps a handler leading their masked pet around on a leash made of heavy chains. \nThere’s a reason these aesthetics captivate.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Bottom Responsibility: Agency\, Accountability\, and Risk Literacy in Kink with Sarai
DESCRIPTION:Bottoming is not passive\, and submission is not a waiver. This course confronts the cultural tendency to outsource responsibility to Tops while treating bottom education as optional. Using psychological frameworks including learned helplessness\, authority bias\, and cognitive avoidance\, alongside real-world scenarios\, we examine how unexamined conditioning\, deference to erotic authority\, and avoidance of risk literacy contribute to unsafe dynamics\, misattributed harm\, and repeated community conflict. We also address the distinction between regret and consent violation\, how harm narratives get distorted when decision-making is omitted from the story\, and why an educated bottom is significantly harder to exploit than an uninformed one. \nThis class is designed for bottoms who are willing to show up informed\, self-aware\, and accountable. It is not a validation space and does not center comfort. Participants may find their assumptions challenged and their feelings tested. Come prepared\, or don’t come at all. Growth requires honesty\, and honesty can sting\, but it also saves lives\, relationships\, and communities. \nPRESENTER: \nSarai311 (any/all) is a BIPOC kink educator\, poet\, and event organizer with a decade of experience across classroom and community learning spaces. She brings eight years of formal teaching and three years of active kink engagement into her work\, blending curriculum design\, emotionally grounded facilitation\, and embodied pedagogy. A doctoral candidate\, her research on identity development and culturally relevant pedagogy directly informs her kink education practice. \nWithin the kink community\, she has served as a Dungeon Monitor\, demo bottom\, and board member for Whippersnappers TNG\, and is the founder and lead organizer of BIPOC at Frolicon. She presents across the Southeast at events including Frolicon\, Southeast Leatherfest\, and Dark Odyssey\, and has been published thrice in Black Leather in Color Magazine. Sarai311 is also the author of ‘What We Could Never Be’ and ‘Unholy Attachments’\, and is known for creating spaces where kink\, identity\, and intentional self-exploration can safely coexist. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Dating as Shadow Work: Turning Emotional Triggers into Pathways of Growth with Marie Thouin PhD
DESCRIPTION:Dating has a way of bringing uncomfortable feelings to the surface—fast. Few other arenas of life expose our tender spots like romance does. One moment\, we are flying high and find ourselves pedestalizing hot strangers; the next\, we’re swimming in insecurity\, shame\, devastation\, or hopelessness. \nOur shadow self represents the parts of us that we hide from our own sight—patterns and traits we would prefer not to feel\, identify with\, or be viewed as by others. However\, what we resist persists: when repressed\, our shadow often controls our lives from the sidelines\, keeping authentic love and connection at arm’s length. \nIntegrating the shadow is about reclaiming disowned parts of ourselves in order to gain awareness\, wholeness\, and personal agency. In this class\, we’ll explore dating as a spiritual and psychological practice—a living lab for shadow integration. Through guided reflection\, dialogue\, and practical tools\, we’ll look at the emotions we most want to avoid: embarrassment\, humiliation\, abandonment\, disappointment\, shame\, insecurity\, grandiosity\, and more. We will learn how to work with them skillfully. Rather than chasing validation or avoiding pain\, we’ll reframe dating as a path of self-inquiry\, expansion\, and authenticity. With this framework\, every experience\, even “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 a place of truth in relationships—not from the shadow’s behind-the-scenes manipulation. \nYou’ll learn how to: \nRecognize and name shadow emotions and patterns that surface in your dating experiences \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 \nDate others from a place of wholeness and authenticity\, paving the path to better relationships \nFormat: \nEmbodied meditation + interactive 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: \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 \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 a Dating & Relationship Coach who supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives. She 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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Negotiation Skills for subs & Bottoms with Faun

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Arcane D/s: Energetic Feeding and Conscious Inequality with Lee Harrington
DESCRIPTION:When we talk about power exchange in BDSM\, the actual exchange of power is often assumed rather than examined yet it’s a profound force worth exploring. Whether you identify as kinky or not\, consciously shaping the dynamics between people can open doors to life force\, intimacy\, and the energetic dance that lives between individuals or groups. \nIn this class\, we’ll look at both intentional and unconscious power exchange patterns\, why someone might step into them for a night or for a lifetime\, and how these tools can support your magical work\, energetic feeding\, or broader life path. We’ll also bring awareness to astral connections\, accidental bonds\, and the ways these dynamics can veer into harm if left unchecked. Power is power\, and inequality is not inequity – so let’s walk into this conversation with curiosity\, courage\, and our eyes wide open. \nPRESENTER: \nLee Harrington is an internationally known spiritual and erotic authenticity educator\, gender explorer\, eclectic artist and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. He’s been traveling the globe teaching and talking about sexuality\, psychology\, faith and desire\, and believes you deserve passion and connection in your life. His books include “Playing Well With Others: Your Guide to Discovering\, Exploring and Negotiating the Kink\, Leather and BDSM Communities” (with Mollena Williams)\, “Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond\,” “Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macramé\,” and “Traversing Gender: Understanding Transgender Realities\,” amongst many others. Lee has been a passion instigator\, academic\, adult film performer\, world class sexual adventurer\, outspoken philosopher\, polytheist priest/ess\, kink/bondage expert\, and has been blogging about sex and spirit since 1998.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Receiving Service Well: Is This Meaningful to You? with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:Most conversations about service focus on what a submissive is willing or eager to offer\, which is lovely. However\, far less attention is given to the Dominant staring at a lovingly presented act of service and thinking\, with genuine affection\, “I appreciate this very much\, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it.” \nThis class is for anyone who wants to better understand what service actually means to them. We will discuss different forms of service\, how to identify what you genuinely enjoy receiving\, how to communicate preferences and standards clearly\, and how service-oriented submissives can better understand what makes an act feel meaningful to the person receiving it. Sometimes that means completing a task in the quickest or most practical way. Sometimes it means doing it in a very odd and particular way because that is what the Dominant enjoys\, values\, or has asked for. \nIt may be easy to say that service well done is service wanted\, but what does that actually mean in practice? What happens when efficiency and preference point in different directions? The goal is for you to leave with practical tools for building service dynamics with less hopeful guesswork and far fewer beautifully polished things nobody really asked for. \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM\, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA\, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research\, he has developed and led community education programs on kink\, consent\, trauma awareness\, and ethical non-monogamy. \nAt the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested.

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.

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.
