This Week with Wicked Grounds (3/27 – 4/6)

Howdy kinksters –

We have a lot of great classes coming up this and next week, including lots both online and in San Francisco!

Also, the ​Dom/ sub Dynamics Virtual Summit​ March 31 – April 3. The summit is packed with live online classes from our favorite instructors, and upgrading to a VIP pass gives you access to the full summit and many other resources throughout the year. It’s a great way to learn a lot about D/s.

Finally, our annual ​membership​ and ​scholarship fundraising drive​ continues this week. We are very grateful for those who’ve been able to offer support!

We continue to have serious concerns about the state of the scholarship fund. We are committed to keep offering scholarships, but we may need to make some minor adjustments to the program once we get through the week, depending on how much people are able to support. I’ll keep everyone posted once we have a chance to do the numbers. If you’d like us to be able to keep scholarships going on a no-questions-asked basis, and you’re in a position to do so, we would love your contributions either through ​the scholarship options on Patreon​ or a ​one-time contribution​.

Speaking of going into the week, let’s look at that calendar!
