This Week with Wicked Grounds! (2/14 - 2/23)
|
Hello kinksters - A few things hearten me in these weird times. This week, we had a full seating at our monthly Kinky Speed Friending, and I had the privilege of helping people connect alongside one of my favorite collaborators. I also had some very juicy conversations this week with Dustin of Dominance Dialogues, and you’ll hear everything we discussed in just a couple of weeks when that podcast goes live. This week, I encourage you to find a few things that energize you and then take that energy back out toward creating and sustaining the world you want to live in. Find the energy, use it well, and keep doing that. Things are moving very fast right now, and resilience means staying connected to our values and one another. If you want to commit to classes, coaching, or an upcoming workshop, there’s no better time than now. Tomorrow is the last day of our Valentine’s Day sale, with 15% off all coaching, digital downloads, class passes, and courses from WickedGroundsAnnex.com and 15% off all scheduled classes from Wicked Grounds on Forbidden Tickets! At either site, just use code LOVEBITES for your discount. This sale ends at midnight on Feb 15th. Want to send us a Valentine? Please support us on Patreon! Your support at any level makes all the difference in our ability to operate in line with our values. We absolutely rely on our regular Patreon members to keep the lights on, and it’s likely this will be even more critical as it becomes more difficult to run adult education in the coming years. If you’re in a position to support us – even for a few dollars a month – it would mean the world to us. And here are some events to look forward to in the coming week: This week!Friday 2/14Happy Valentine’s Day! We love you, a lot.
