SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mindful Brainwashing with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in brainwashing or conditioning in kink\, you have probably spent time wrestling with the implications of your practice. To what extent is it acceptable to deliberately shape someone’s mind\, their responses\, their sense of self? Dynamics built around long-term conditioning carry their own particular stigma\, even within kink communities\, and that stigma makes it harder to think clearly about what’s happening. \nSome people find their way into sustainable\, deeply satisfying dynamics that focus on shaping one partner to the other’s liking\, and then have to reckon with the discomfort that comes with it. How do you talk honestly with someone who is actively being shaped to think in particular ways\, even when they asked for that very change? Some also run into rougher territory\, such as identity confusion or dynamics that started with good intentions and lost the plot somewhere along the way. \nWhile brainwashing is a word often heard in the kink community\, research into influence\, behavior shaping\, and identity is only now beginning to catch up with what communities have been doing for decades. The goal is also to sit with the word brainwashing itself and learn about what it means to each of us\, the history it may carry\, and what about it might be worth reclaiming. \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. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/af0f9455c3

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Hypnokink on the Ace Spectrum with Faun
DESCRIPTION:Even in this day and age\, it can still be incredibly difficult for kinksters on the ace spectrum to feel like they belong in kinky spaces.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Scene Like a Storyteller with HypnoStory and PandaPet
DESCRIPTION:Gripping. Evocative. Sensuous. Immersive. The stories we read take us on a journey and make us feel. Wherever you are in your hypnokink journey\, the art of storytelling aids your scene building and sparks the creative process. Join HypnoStory and panda\, informed by their theater training\, as they discuss and demonstrate the process of starting from a concept and weaving a story. Topics will include fleshing out fantasies and concepts\, creating a story arc and creatively utilizing the tools already at your disposal to build a multisensory\, collaborative scene. \nPRESENTERS: \nHypnoStory (they/them) loves to share the joy and power of hypnosis with most anyone who will listen. They have been doing various forms of hypnosis for over 25 years\, and have taught for Charmed!\, Entranced\, Beguiled\, NEEHU\, KinkyCon\, and The Fetish Fair Fleamarket among others. In addition to erotic and recreational hypnosis\, they occasionally perform as a stage hypnotist and work with clients using hypnosis for personal growth. Together with their triad partners Yoshi and Panda\, they run New Hampshire Hypnokink and CONsolation (a Discord server that presents kink education). \nPandaPet (it/they) is a pansexual\, polyamorous pet with a penchant for the use of alliteration. It has been a longstanding member of the New England and DC/NoVa communities\, and has taught for a fair number of hypnosis and kink conferences. A tireless volunteer\, it has also worked behind the scenes on educational programming at a handful of kink conventions for the past ten years. It co-founded CONsolation (a Discord community that offers kink education) with it’s master HypnoStory and partner Yoshi. Unashamedly itself in all things\, it is an advocate for the darklings\, pets\, ageplayers\, neurodivergent\, and queerdos of our community. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/c596a1243c
