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: Boundary Expression and Enforcement with Laura Boyle of Ready for Polyamory
DESCRIPTION:As a certified People Pleaser and Anxious Conflict Avoider\, for many years I struggled immensely with communicating needs and boundaries with partners\, friends\, and metamours. Communication of needs and boundaries is the foundation of self-care in all relationships\, but especially polyamorous relationships\, where additional moving parts may necessitate additional communication around situational and emotional changes. \nThis class is a roundup of strategies that I’ve been offered over the years by therapists\, partners\, and my own imagination\, including the ones that don’t work for me but do for others I know\, to help attendees build their toolbox for this type of interaction. \nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a relationship coach\, educator\, and author of Monogamy? 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. She’s been polyamorous for nearly 20 years and has been teaching since 2018. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. We offer a sliding scale so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

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
