10 Reasons to Become a Wicked Grounds VIP Today!

Published 11 days ago • 2 min read

“Ok, Mir. I see that you really want me to become a member this week. Tell me more about what the VIP membership means.”

I’m so glad you asked! VIP members are the core of making Wicked Grounds’ operations possible, and their memberships benefit both themselves and the community at large.

What do VIPs get?

VIP membership has some pretty cool privileges!

  1. Miriam Green teaches for Wicked Grounds 4-6 times per month. With VIP membership, you get every single one of their classes for free.
  2. Love our other in-person and online classes? Binge! With VIP membership, you get all the classes you want for $10 each, significantly lower than our usual sliding scale.
  3. Love our digital downloads? Get them for 10% off.
  4. Want personalized coaching and consulting? That’s also 10% off for VIPs.
  5. Best of all, get a whopping 30% discount on our multi-week classes like Diving Deep or Stepping Into Pride.

​

What does the community get because Wicked Grounds has VIPs?

Because VIPs allow us some flexibility in budgeting, we can take a step back from the hustle periodically to stay sharp and give back. VIPs allow us to invest in:

  1. Professional development for kink educators not just at Wicked Grounds but beyond through our accessibility-focused yearly Kink Class Incubator
  2. Community moderation services on FetLife. Our staff help moderate many of your favorite SF- and education-based FetLife groups pro bono to maintain a more pleasant FetLife experience.
  3. Vetting, community-building, and networking. Maybe you’re one of the hundreds of folks that rely on us to help with basic vetting and community management. We’re able to budget for spending whatever time this takes in part because we have a membership-provided administrative budget.
  4. New class development. We like to keep it fresh around here! Your faith in us allows us time for creative development on new classes, and periodically reviewing everything we offer.
  5. Taking chances. Whether it’s taking a chance on a new instructor, a new topic, or a very niche course, having a bit of slack allows us to focus on what’s right for education over time, not just on the classes that are guaranteed “sexy topics” that will sell out.

​

But don’t take our word for it.

I reached out recently to ask a few VIPs what they thought you should know. Here are some of the things they shared:

I love being a Wicked Grounds VIP! It makes it super low-barrier to drop into many of the online classes every month, and I’ve received great discounts on the 6-week Diving Deep course and on highly impactful 1:1 coaching with Mir. Having Wicked Grounds as a resource has made a huge positive impact on my kink journey! - I
Ever since I first attended a Wicked Grounds event over a decade ago, it has been important to both my kink and gender journey. One of the munches they used to host was critical as I first started discovering my non-binary identity! The classes they now host are high-quality staples for both local and online kink education, a powerful keystone for community members to safely expand their interests. - Anonymous
Wicked Grounds is the best source of eduction opportunities I’ve seen for everyone on the BDSM path. They consistently have standout teachers who come prepared with quality content, relevant experience, and infectious enthusiasm. I know every time I sign up for a class I’m guaranteed to learn something in community with other great kinksters. - AHP
In my almost-decade of being around the Bay Area scene, with all its highs and lows, I’ve never seen anyone as dedicated and driven as Mir is in making sure that community isn’t just a word, but a real place of learning and improvement. Their 101s helped me start, but it’s everything they did to build and foster initiatives and loci of learning that helped me flourish. If one of Mir’s classes sounds interesting to you… do not wait! Take the chance!”– Aura V.

​If you are able, please join. It makes an enormous difference.​
