This week and BLACK + BLUE FRIDAY with Wicked Grounds (11/29 – 12/8)

Hello kinksters –

A very happy Black & Blue Friday from your friends at Wicked Grounds. We are headed into the first week of December, which is always a great time — particularly with a lot of in-person events in San Francisco for our friends there. I’m also delighted to announce that we’ve brought back Your Kink Year in Review for the season, and you’ll have access now through January.

But before we dive into all that, let’s make sure you know about the phenomenal Black Friday sales we have for you this weekend.

Now through Monday, 12/1, you may get 20% off everything at WickedGroundsAnnex.com with code BLACKFLAG at checkout. That’s all event passes, all coaching, all downloads, all multi-week courses! Here’s what I might use the code for …

• An initial coaching session with Mir, or even a full six-pack of sessions.

• Our January Month of MIndfulness or six week Pentacles of Power: A Six-Week Sex Magick Intensive

• An event pass for all-you-can-kink classes for a month, three months, or even a full year!

• One or more of our helpful digital downloads, including video classes, workbooks, and the seasonal return of Your Kink Year in Review

And if you’re not yet a VIP on Patreon, checkout memberships at Patreon.com/WickedGrounds. We rely on our members to make what we do possible, and appreciate your support!

Upcoming multi-week workshops to plan for!

Join us in January for a full Month of Mindfulness with daily meditation sessions, journaling, habit-building and more with a focus on making more space for kinky, queer, and other sex-positive folks. Learn more and sign up with our sliding scale here, at rates starting at low as $1/day.

If you’d like to go deeply into the intersection of magick and power, join us in February and early March for Pentacles of Power: A Sex-Magick Intensive for Kinky People. You absolutely don’t need to be kinky to practice sex magick. But if you are kinky, that’s going to change the way you think about power, polarity, ritual, and more. There are only a few instructors teaching at this intersection, and this is the first time Miriam Green will share personal practices they’ve been developing for nearly twenty years. Find more information and registration here.
