SUMMARY:SF: 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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Bottoming Safety 201: Negotiating Edgeplay Safely as a Bottom or Submissive with Laura Boyle of ReadyforPolyamory
DESCRIPTION:Most folks\, when they enter a local scene or join a dungeon space\, are required to take a basic negotiation class. These classes seldom touch on how to negotiate more intense scenes – or assume that one will automatically have gained the confidence and communication skills to express boundaries while negotiating a scene near the edge of one’s comfort level. \nThis class will address generally asserting boundaries with a top or dominant from a bottoming or submissive role; but also include safety issues to be aware of some of the most popular “edgy” play – understanding that one person’s edge is another’s bread and butter\, so there is no way for the class to be comprehensive for everyone in that. \nThis class explicitly covers and includes handout resources and links for information on negotiation for knife play\, breath play\, a variety of fear play\, fire\, sadistic floor rope\, suspension\, and wax; and sometimes more by discussion within the class group. \nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a writer\, polyamorist\, and educator who has been teaching classes on polyamory\, sexuality\, boundaries\, kink\, and the intersection of those on a local level and at conventions since 2018. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory: A Pragmatic Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy. After more than 15 years in consensually non-monogamous relationships\, in polycules that have ranged from temporarily closed Vs to constellations whose shapes are increasingly indescribable depending on which relationships folks consider worth including\, she loves to share practical information learned from years of fixing her own mistakes and missteps. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several ticketing tiers\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/7fa2b65f82

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\nThis workshop welcomes all genders\, orientations\, and dynamic styles\n\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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Strategies For Switching: Fulfilling Your Diverse Desires with Lee Harrington
DESCRIPTION:The term “switch” has a lot of baggage attached to it in a polarized BDSM community\, where you are expected to be a Top or a Bottom\, a Master or a Slave – but there are a thousand reasons why many of us feel a calling to cross over from time to time – while others are born to ride a wide variety of sides of their souls. \nWe will be addressing why people switch (Tops who want to know what it feels like\, Slaves who want to serve masochistic Masters\, greedy versatile pigs who want it all)\, strategies to finding play partners or relationship structures (one partner many roles\, play partners outside of monogamous relationships\, polyamory\, swinging\, open relationships\, self-play)\, and create ways to check in with ourselves about what our own needs are. \nLet’s look at switching\, and see what notions we are ready to embrace\, and which need to be switched around. \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: Long Distance Polyamory w/ HG Wyndell
DESCRIPTION:Whether your partners are two hours away or halfway around the world\, it can take a lot more than Google Calendar to make long-distance polyamorous relationships functional\, healthy\, and fulfilling. \nSometimes the distance is a six-month job placement\, sometimes it’s living thousands of miles apart. Distance will multiply the complexity already present in polyamorous relationships. \nWe’ll discuss the challenges\, additional dynamics\, and helpful approaches to long-distance polyamory based on lived experience. Hopefully leaving you with more tools in your toolbox for figuring out how to make it work in healthy and fulfilling ways for you. \nPRESENTER: \nHG Wyndell is an activist\, educator\, and Spiritworker who is driven to facilitate accessible ritual spaces for folks seeking access to more deeply nourishing relationships with themselves and others. They are committed to living life through a lens of wonder\, and in our experience\, they don’t mess around when it comes to embracing the complex beingness of whoever is blessed to be in their presence and consideration. They weave their lived experiences with intentional relationship\, genuine gender expression\, ceremony\, creative arts\, chronic illness\, and embracing pleasure seamlessly with a whole lot of love and a good bit of magic into the rich curriculum they offer. \nTICKETING: \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/a86b53e7ac

It also involves calendars\, budgets\, household decisions\, health emergencies\, disagreements\, paperwork\, boundaries\, and figuring out what happens when life throws chaos your way. \nThis class will break down some practical structures that help TPE relationships function over time. We will discuss division of responsibility\, decision-making authority\, financial oversight\, privacy\, limits\, accountability\, and the legal realities of authority-based relationships. You will also be introduced to practical safeguards\, including emergency planning\, independent support systems\, powers of attorney\, medical decision-making documents\, and other legal tools that may matter when a dynamic becomes deeply intertwined with ordinary life. \nFor anyone building\, considering\, or already living within a long-term TPE dynamic\, this class offers a grounded look at the responsibilities that make surrender safer and authority worth trusting. \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/81be64bb6b

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Why We Don't Speak Up with John Pendal
DESCRIPTION:A lot of discussion about consent relies on being able to speak up. For example: \n• Standing up for yourself in negotiations\n• Being able to clearly state your needs\, wants\, desires and limits\n• Agreeing to AND BEING ABLE TO USE a safe word during the scene \nBut there are occasions when our voices may leave us\, e.g. feeling that everyone has invested too much in the scene and we don’t want to let others down\, flooded with endorphins or adrenaline\, reliving past trauma\, falling in love with your play partner\, autistic shutdown – and that’s what this workshop covers. \nWe examine the many reasons why anyone may stay silent during a kink scene – whether they are a novice or experienced player. What to do if someone is triggered\, and different strategies to help people communicate – even if they’ve had a lifetime of ‘people pleasing’ or don’t know who they are. \nPRESENTER: \nExperienced BDSM educator and comedian John Pendal joins us all the way from London\, England. \nIn 2003\, John became the 25th person (and only Brit) to win the annual International Mr Leather contest in Chicago. Since then\, he has traveled worldwide teaching SM education\, giving speeches\, acting as a master of ceremonies\, or doing stand-up comedy. \nHe has taught workshops at Down and Dirty (Melbourne)\, Inferno\, Lupercalia (Edmonton)\, Minnesota Leather Pride\, Mr. Leatherman Toronto\, Palm Springs Leather Pride\, Rome BDSM Conference (Italy)\, SINSations in Leather\, Spring in the South (Atlanta)\, Tribal Fire (Oklahoma)\, and Thunder in the Mountains (Denver). \nwww.johnpendal.com \nTICKETING \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/c4ac822ab2
