SUMMARY:ONLINE: BDSM Negotiation: From Awkward to Awesome with Miriam Green
DESCRIPTION:Ever felt that pre-scene flutter of nerves when it comes to expressing your boundaries or deepest desires? You’re not alone. But being honest about your desires and voicing them out loud is critical for safe\, hot scenes — and it’s what experienced players will expect from you. \nEffective kink negotiation isn’t always intuitive\, especially when you’re just starting out. But it can be learned\, and we’re going to do just that. \nThis Kink 101 session is designed to transform hesitant conversations into confident\, connection-building dialogues. You’ll walk away with practical tools to ask for exactly what you want\, making your play hotter\, safer\, and incredibly fun. \nWe’ll explore: \n\nNegotiation styles for your own style and voice\nMastering pre-play agreements that set the stage for thrilling scenes\nHow to negotiate without breaking the mood\nNailing communication during and after the scene\nHow to adapt scene negotiations within existing BDSM relationships\n\nThis workshop welcomes all genders\, orientations\, and dynamic styles. \nDrawing on the psychology of peak experiences\, we’ll learn how to collaborate as partners\, using negotiation not as a chore\, but as a powerful act of co-creation. Whether you’re curious about kink\, a relative newcomer\, or a seasoned kinkster looking to sharpen your communication\, you’ll walk away with new perspectives and skills. \nGet ready to navigate your desires with a newfound swagger and make every negotiation count! \nPRESENTER: \nMiriam Green (they/them) has been active in the public kink scene for over twenty years and an instructor for more than twelve\, focusing on communication skills\, impact play\, and advanced kink techniques. As the owner of kink education company Wicked Grounds\, Mir collaborates with dozens of other educators to offer a wide range of classes for kinksters at every stage of their BDSM journey. \nOver the past dozen years\, Mir has taught several hundred BDSM classes through Wicked Grounds\, Society of Janus\, Foundations\, Arizona Power Exchange\, Dark Odyssey\, Boundless Events\, and other respected kink organizations and conferences. They particularly enjoy leading intensives\, helping students deepen their kink skills over a day\, weekend\, or multiple weeks online. You can also book personal consulting and coaching sessions with Mir at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com. \nTICKETING: \nThe regular ticket is $30. This is what most people should pay. We offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/432652ca44

SUMMARY:Kinky Speed Friending with PsychoKitty
DESCRIPTION:We can’t promise love\, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people\, a lot of people\, fast. \nOur purpose is to encourage you to meet new people. \n– Find people with similar kinks as yours. \n– Find people with whom to explore new kinks. \n– Find new friends. \n– Find new people to play with. \n  \nPeople will be separated by appetite\, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward. \nThe evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite\, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting\, even if they aren’t your appetite. \nOnce the event has started\, we can not add new people\, so please be on time. \n  \nPRESENTER: \nRyan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade\, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender\, or hosting events at the SF Citadel\, Catalyst\, and of course Wicked Grounds. \n  \nACCESS: \nIn SF\, this event will be held at Trellis. Please note that doors will close quickly so we recommend arriving 15 minutes before the event starts for check-in. \nWe cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun)\, so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded. \nPlease do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever. Anyone displaying signs of respiratory symptoms may be asked to leave\, regardless of vaccination status.
