Howdy kinksters –
In this line of work, I’m continually blessed to talk with people who take risks and engage in deep, meaningful self-exploration and play. Our first queer-centered intensive has just concluded. The thoughtfulness, vulnerability, and strength of our participants have left me in awe. I had a similar experience guest-hosting SpankLab last week. We had a large group of brand-new players; it was so cool seeing the transition from hesitant newcomer to satisfied player in two hours!
Whatever you’re into, I encourage you to explore it with us. In the coming months, we have fantastic programming planned for every part of a kinkster’s journey! (And if you’re curious about impact play, definitely come out this Saturday for two great hands-on classes with me and impossiblepain!)
If you’re looking for gear, you can also find us vending at the Society of Janus Ignite party this Saturday night (or pick up gear while at my Saturday classes!)
This month’s special continues at both WickedGrounds.com (for class passes, rope, gear, and books) and WickedGroundsAnnex.com (for coaching, multi-week courses, and digital downloads). Use code onlinepride24 at either site to get 20% off anything on those sites!
