Balance, aspirations, and sustainability: Spring Equinox thoughts from Wicked Grounds
|
Hello kinksters - It’s the Spring Equinox, which is a great time to think about increasing our power in a balanced and sustainable fashion. This is my eleventh Spring Equinox stewarding Wicked Grounds, and what a long, strange trip it’s been! MembershipsOn this auspicious day, I want to encourage you to become a supporting member of Wicked Grounds on Patreon. Our supporting members make everything we do possible, and VIP members get some very sweet benefits. I finally decided to become a Wicked Grounds VIP this year because I recognize how the content is the best in our community for everyone on the BDSM path. The classes I take with Wicked Grounds consistently have the best teachers who come prepared with quality content, relevant experience, and infectious enthusiasm. Moreover, I always find offerings on interesting topics—usually ones I’m excited to deepen my knowledge on and others I didn’t even know I needed. I know when I sign up for a class that I’m guaranteed to learn something helpful in community with other great kinksters. As a community organizer, Wicked Grounds is often the first resource I point new community members to. I appreciate so much how the organization meets people where they’re at financially and beyond and I am happy to support them by being a VIP.
Might you take the step to join students like AHP and others in joining us as a VIP today? ScholarshipsOften, people feel passionate about our mission even if they don’t personally use our services. And sometimes existing members are in the position to give a bit extra. If you’re one of those folks, I’d love to encourage you to give to our scholarship fund. Our scholarship fund allows us to give out scholarship seats to class attendeees on a no-questions-asked basis, while still allowing us to compensate our instructors for their hard work. This year, we’ve had a significant increase in scholarship requests, to the point that the scholarship fund is essentially overdrawn. I need immediate community support to keep this service available, so please help if you can! You can also sign up for a scholarship contribution level on Patreon to forgo personal benefits and just pay it all forward to the scholarship fund. Please take care of yourself first, then help others!These are weird dang times. We’ve been seeing a lot of folks facing uncertainty in their professional and personal lives. If this is you, please prioritize self-care! But if you’re able to support projects you love, I think our kink education is very worthy of that support. Another way to help at no cost? Just spread the word! Tell other kinksters about Wicked Grounds and send them our way for education and events. That would mean the world to us. Much love, and a very happy Spring Equinox to all - Mir on behalf of the Wicked Grounds team |
