INTENSIVE: May 2025: Kink Class Incubator: From Concept to Launch
2025-05-05 - 2025-06-02
Ready to take charge of your curriculum?

Since 2019, Wicked Grounds Annex has provided resources for our instructors and would-be instructors to develop stronger, more impactful, more engaging classes — along with strategies to find, engage, and build communities with the best students for their content.
We can help you change kink culture for the better by refining your course ideas and optimizing your marketing approach. This course will improve classes and marketing for experienced and new instructors alike.

Our approach

In this class, you’ll learn what you need to get a basic start teaching in kink, polyamory, fetish, magick — or any other peer-taught subject. Of course, we’d be delighted if you plan to teach with Wicked Grounds, but our goal is to create great teachers who can teach anywhere.
Throughout May 2025, you will learn to:

Refine and sharpen your core message
Figure out what you really want to say — what only you can
Differentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge
Market your class in ways that really work
Include your students, and learn as you teach
Give a class that makes a difference
Engage your audience and build your fans

How we’ll engage
Starting Monday, May 5, we’ll engage in four major sections of work as you refine your concept, discover your audience, and take your class from concept to outline.
You’ll use the same approach that Miriam Green — a retired marketing consultant — uses to develop, market, and continually improve their classes.
This course will include four full weeks of self-directed coursework (which you may complete at your schedule and repeat as many times as you need) along with four or five 75-minute live sessions each Monday evening starting at 6pm Pacific/ 9pm Eastern May 5 – June 2.
Students who join without a prior description and outline should plan to attend starting Monday, May 5. More advanced students are welcome to join May 5 but can opt to start May 12.
All live sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend live or wish to review the session. You may also book additional consulting time with Mir as an add-on, which may be completed during or after the class period.
