Not a drill. To keep our current scholarship model, we need your help.

Since launching our scholarship program in 2022, Wicked Grounds has awarded over 600 scholarship seats to our classes and workshops. We will find a way to keep doing this, but we're facing a potentially radical restructuring of the program. Up to this point, we've had earmarked seats available to award new requests for seats, no questions asked. We've never yet turned down a scholarship seat request. We're starting to give out scholarships that haven't been funded yet, in part because I haven't reached out to the community with a scholarship-focused fundraiser since last fall. Needless to say, this isn't sustainable. We will be able to give away some scholarship seats each month; some of our Patreon subscribers have earmarked their contributions to the fund. However, we won't be able to keep giving out all the scholarships that are requested without topping up the funds, and many requests will need to be turned down. I want to make a large, multi-seat contribution! Thank you! Be sure to note your contribution is for the scholarship fund:
Want your gift to have even more impact? Let's talk about doing "matching funds," NPR style. Just reply to this email. I want to buy a seat or two You can use the channels above, or just get some seats through our website: I want to keep this program going long-term. Please let us know that we can do that safely, with your support. Warmly Mir |

Hello kinksters - How are you doing this week? It feels like it’s been a month since I last wrote you! I thank the folks in our month of mindfulness every day for providing me with a needed anchor throughout the week. One bright spot for me this week has been preparing for our upcoming sex magick intensive Pentacles of Power, which launches a six-week journey at the start of February. This workshop is the culmination of over twenty years of my work and finally brings together threads of my...
Hello kinksters - Some folks think kink is apolitical. By this point, it shouldn’t surprise you to find that I disagree. Eight years ago, when we still operated a cafe & boutique in San Francisco, we participated in the January 20th general strike by being a kind of Schrödinger’s cafe: open and closed at the same time. We felt committed to participating in the strike. At the same time, we knew that we provided a critical safe space for the community, and we couldn’t bear to have the doors...
