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 . . .

  • Too kinky? Not kinky enough?
  • Too slutty? Not slutty enough?
  • Too loud? Not loud enough?
  • Too political? Not political enough?

Or maybe even:

  • Not queer enough?
  • Not trans enough?

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.

Howdy kinksters - We have a lot of great classes coming for you this week. Every once in a while, I get a class pitch that gives me chills. Tonight’s class is one of those. Dr. Marie Thouin sent us a quick email back in December last year, saying she’s become intrigued at the idea of dating as a kind of shadow work psychologically, and asked if I’d be interested. My hair stood up. It was an immediate yes. Even though I wasn’t sure how much interest there would be for a wider audience, I just...

The Wicked Grounds scholarship fund allows us to make space- and funds-available seats to kinksters who might otherwise be priced out of kink education, while compensating...

Howdy kinksters - As of this week, I’ve been part of Wicked Grounds for a dozen years. Twelve years ago was the first week I got behind the counter and started slinging espresso for my first munches in preparation to take over at the helm. As we head toward this Valentine’s Day every year, I reflect on how much I’m in love with all the folks that make our little kink education business possible. Yes, you! We love your creativity, curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm for all things...
