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:

I want to keep this program going long-term. Please let us know that we can do that safely, with your support.

Hey folks - Sorry for the double post today. Thanks to a couple of lovely community folks, I've become aware that my link in the last post didn't work for all people. (It looks like the editorial AI powers that be tried to update a double dash to an M-dash. ANNOYING!) Anyway, here is the actual link to the Dom/Sub Dynamics Virtual Summer March 23 - 26: https://wickedgrounds--domsubliving.thrivecart.com/vip/ My sincere apologies for the error. Now, go sign up! It's free! Warmly Mir

Hi all - For advanced education, we at Wicked Grounds are fond of recommending kink conferences, campouts and intensives for immersive experiences. But what if you’re not near one, can’t take the time out, or are on a budget? We would like to recommend this year’s Dom/ Sub Dynamics Virtual Summit, taking place online from March 23rd to March 26th. It’s a half-week of recorded classes, live Q&As, and a bunch of other resources. You can catch my session Navigating Kink Spaces: How to Play,...

Howdy kinksters - We have lots going on this week – and I’ll be in touch Monday with another great opportunity to catch up with Wicked Grounds instructors Miriam Green, Miss Mackenzee, and Princess Rara as well as a slate of other kink educators at the upcoming Dom/ Sub Dynamics Summit in late March. It’s already a busy spring, and preparing to get more so! In addition to our live classes in the SF Bay Area, we’re preparing for classes in Los Angeles (March 20 - 22), Tucson (May 28), and...
