This Week with Wicked Grounds (1/22 – 2/1)

Howdy kinksters –

I hope you’re doing well this week. Several times this week I’ve seen kinksters come together in San Francisco or online and I am encouraged by the many ways I see folks building community right now.

We have some great classes coming up for you this year: whether you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, online, or now in other parts of the western US! If you are in Los Angeles, mark your calendars: Wicked Grounds is launching our first in what will be a regular series of LA classes on Friday, March 20 – Sunday, March 22! Are you in Arizona? Miriam Green will be back to teach with Arizona Power Exchange on the weekend of Saturday, May 30 – Monday, June 1. We’ll have all the details for you in the coming weeks, but if this is of interest you’ll want to note the dates.

It’s not a kink class, but if you’re into the woo-woo side of my work, my next multiweek intensive with Wicked Grounds + Magickal Crossroads launches on February 1st exploring ​All the Kabbalah You Really Need to Know​. Folks who are interested in magick and mysticism should check it out. Find out more and register at the ​Teachable link​.

One other thing: This week, a generous contributor helped us reboot last year’s ​Scholarship Fundraising Drive​, which never hit its target. If you’re able to help your fellow kinksters by making a contribution, these funds go directly toward helping us make scholarship seats available to kinksters who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend. By doing that, you’re helping create better consent cultures and more fun for all of us. ​If you’re able to contribute, we’d be very grateful for your support.​

Most of our classes for this coming week are online. Let’s take a look:
