SUMMARY:ONLINE: Hoe With Purpose: Erotic Strategy for the Emotionally Unavailable & Sensually Aware with Sarai
DESCRIPTION:You’re not chaotic. You just don’t want what everyone assumes you want and nobody’s teaching you how to build the erotic life you’re actually after. \nThe entire world is set up to push you toward romance: the apps\, the communities\, the conversations\, the expectations. If you’re aromantic\, done with situationships\, or just clear that you want pleasure without the relationship\, there’s almost no framework built for you. So you improvise. And improvising leads to drama\, confusion\, and connections that cost more than they were worth. \nThis class is for aromantic folks\, casual players\, and intentional pleasure-seekers who want a system for their erotic life\, not just vibes. \nIN THIS CLASS YOU WILL: \n• Name and understand amatonormativity; the cultural pressure to make romance the goal\, and why opting out is a design choice\, not a flaw\n• Learn how to reframe casual sex as ethical and strategic\, not careless\n• Use the Return on Intimacy framework to decide where your erotic energy is actually worth spending\n• Build and audit a rotation that stays clean of entanglement and drama\n• Practice scripts for navigating casual kink conversations with clarity and confidence\n• Get tools for handling ghosting\, rejection\, and NRE without losing your footing \nAn intentional erotic life is possible. This class shows you how to build one. \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. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/36b8033347

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: 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: Power Points: Power vs. Authority in D/s Relationships with Sir Panda
DESCRIPTION:Power. Authority. Dominance. Control.

Unpacking how power and authority actually operate gives you the tools to recognize responsible leadership\, establish clearer roles\, and build deeper trust with your partner. \nSir Panda breaks down the legitimate sources of power\, formal versus informal authority\, and the essential roles of reason and empathy in healthy\, enlightened dynamics.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Is it Hypervigilance or Anticipatory Service with Oak
DESCRIPTION:This interactive discussion looks at the line between anticipatory service and trauma-driven hypervigilance. Have you ever packed for time with your D-type and tried to fit everything and the kitchen sink into one bag “just in case”? We will look at what happens in the body & mind to create feelings where we want to cover every service need scenario that may present itself. \nThis interactive discussion explores how hypervigilance develops and differs from grounded & intentional service. We’ll talk about motivation\, internal cues\, and the difference between choice and compulsion.The goal isn’t to stop being attentive. It’s to become present on purpose and rooting service in consent\, clarity\, and self-trust. \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.
