This Week with Wicked Grounds (10/29 – 11/8)

Howdy kinksters –

What a fantastic week we’ve had! Deep thanks to everyone at Dark Odyssey for making a great Surrender conference this last weekend. If you’re already hankering for their next event, ​WinterFire​ is coming up February 13 – 16th in Baltimore.

Still fighting off a touch of drop? Don’t forget we have a prerecorded version of our ​Dealing With Drop​ class available for download and viewing at any time!

One thing that Surrender reminded me this year is that it’s never too late to go deeper into your journey, and we are always evolving. I honestly did a lot of my own homework this last weekend. If you’d like to commit to your next phase of exploration, vulnerability, and personal reinvention, our annual Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic and Kink Desires six-week intensive launches Sunday, Nov 1 with our first live session on Monday, Nov 2. Mark your calendars and ​reserve your spot​!

Now, let’s look at all the cool things going on this week:
