This Week with Wicked Grounds (8/1 – 8/11)

Howdy kinksters –

In San Francisco and along the West Coast, it’s a weirdly foggy season. As we transition into the absolute middle of summer, this part of the coast embodies a paradox. (We’ll warm up again in the fall, usually just in time for Folsom Street Fair!)

If you’re pondering your own version of “back to school,” we have you covered with a bevy of classes both online and in person. If you’re coming to classes in San Francisco, don’t forget to bring a hoodie!

The start of a new month is also a great time to explore our August or annual class passes!

Let’s look at what this week has in store.
