Stepping into Pride 20255-week workshop and discussion group with Wicked Grounds’ Miriam Green online through the Teachable platform at WickedGroundsAnnex.com Tuesday, July 1 - Tuesday, August 5, 2025 Advanced ticketing required. Get yours here! A five week workshop to discover your own pride in your LGBTQ+ identity. Live and self-directed coursework from July 1 - August 5, 2025. What does it mean to unfurl yourself? In a world bordered on one side by culture wars and internalized shame and on the other by rainbow capitalism and community expectations, what does it mean to plot a course for ourselves as queer folks? Have you ever felt . . .
Or maybe even:
What the heck does “enough” mean, anyway? Hey, queer. I see you. Let’s make room for you, in all your parts. You:I don’t see myself in the common representations of queer people; they don’t fit my identity. We can help! Engage in our live group and 1:1 coaching sessions focused on celebrating the full spectrum of queer identities during a month dedicated to pride. You’ll find a space where you can resonate with diverse experiences and expressions, helping you embrace and articulate your unique identity more confidently. You:I feel too kinky compared to others in the LGBTQ+ community and it’s isolating. We can help! Through our inclusive coaching and personalized self-exploration exercises, we’ll navigate the depths of your desires in a safe space. You’ll come to celebrate your kinkiness as a natural part of your sexual identity, leading to a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. You:I feel like my lack of interest in kink makes me an outsider in queer circles. We can help! Our program offers journaling and empowerment exercises tailored to honor your comfort with sexuality, emphasizing that all levels of desire are valid. You’ll cultivate self-compassion and find empowerment in your unique sexual preferences, feeling more aligned with your queer community. You:Society’s labels make me feel too slutty, and it’s affecting my self-esteem. We can help! We provide a stigma-free environment with group discussions and affirming coaching that dismantles shame and celebrates consensual pleasure. Armed with a renewed sense of self-worth, you’ll redefine sexuality on your terms, devoid of external judgment. You:I struggle with the fear of not being sexually liberated enough as an LGBTQ+ person. We can help! Join month-long sessions of introspective journal prompts and open dialogues that validate every level of sexual expression, including asexuality and aromantic identities. You’ll emerge with the confidence to reject unrealistic standards of liberation and the freedom to define your sexuality as you see fit. Join us for five weeks of collaboration, solidarity, self-discovery, and a lot of pride. Advanced ticketing is required. Sliding scale is available. Reach out for further assistance if needed! |

It's so easy to get caught up in perfectionism, self-consciousness, or people pleasing in kink. I'd like to say I'm immune to it. I am not. I just have tools and allies to help me pull out of it more quickly that I used to. A few weeks ago, I was asked to give the keynote presentation at a gathering that means a lot to me. When I last attended, the keynote speaker was Midori, one of my absolute heroes in kink when I was coming up. I was in a group chat with some trusted friends absolutely...
Hey there - The summer season can feel so busy! There were a variety of kinky campouts and conferences last weekend, and it’s been wild to keep up with everyone’s afterglow, even as the folks from Dark Odyssey are ramping up for their next two big campouts! If you’re go-go-going the way we have been, be sure to take breaks to rest, breathe, reflect, and relax.
