This Week with Wicked Grounds (4/10 - 4/20)


Hello kinksters -

First, a quick note! We are having some really annoying issues with our Wicked Grounds Annex site this week relating to how your browser finds the page. (Note to our many technical friends – we already have Teachable, Cloudflare and GoDaddy looking at it – but if you work for one of those companies, feel free to ping me!) tl;dr: the site is working, but your computer will have a hard time finding it without the archaic “www” in front of the address. If you have been trying to book coaching or get a digital download over there and can’t get the page to pull up, try that! Or, you can find the full site at this address: https://wickedgroundsannex.teachable.com/. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resolve this soon! I’ve changed any links in the section below to fix this. :)

We have some very fun things lined up for your this week! On Sunday, we’re offering a unique daylong intensive in SF focused on non-verbal communication skills for D/s scenes and relationships. These are critical skills that I haven’t seen taught in this way elsewhere. Check it out!. My advice? Start the day with the SF Fetish Flea at Stopgap to get some great toys, and then come on over to our all-day class. For the very verbal side of D/s, we’ll also offer Improv for Naughty Play in SF on Tuesday!

The week ends with 4/20, and we have your classes for the day fully baked. We are offering three online classes on cannabis and kink on Sunday 4/20, and you won’t want to miss these.

This week!

Thursday 4/10

Feeling down. A case of the Mondays. The dreaded “drop.” What is this malaise we get in the days after a scene and what can we do about it? Let’s explore this tonight in Dealing with Drop with Miriam Green! Advanced ticketing required. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Friday 4/11 and Saturday 4/12

We don’t have any live classes these days, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes at Wicked Grounds Annex.

Sunday 4/13

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, be sure to check out the San Francisco Fetish Flea up at Stopgap! This is a great way to get handcrafted kink gear and meet new friends. You can find details on FetLife and Erobay.

And join us online from anywhere for a look at hair pulling play! At 11am Pacific it’s Fatal Follicles: Hair Pulling for Harlots! with Lady V. Advanced ticketing required, so get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

In San Francisco, join Wicked Grounds and Click Your Heels for a unique daylong D/s intensive, Leading & Following: A Daylong Dominance & Submission Intensive. You’ll learn all about nonverbal communication for excellent D/s dynamics and BDSM scenes in this 1:30 - 7:30 pm class. Get your advanced tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Monday 4/14

We don’t have any live classes today, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes at Wicked Grounds Annex.

Tuesday 4/15

If you’ve done a lot of roleplay or other verbal play, you know how hard it can be to both center consent and think on your feet about how to stay in your role and keep the scene immersive. We’ve done a lot of thinking about this and are delighted to offer you Improv for Naughty Play with Psychokitty, in which we’ll explore some basic improv techniques that will help you co-create interesting scenes with your partners in real time. This class is only taught live in SF, and space is very limited. We’ll meet tonight at 7pm at Trellis near 5th and Mission. Get your advanced tickets at Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Wednesday 4/16 through Friday 4/18

We don’t have any live classes today, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes at Wicked Grounds Annex.

Saturday 4/19

Join us online at 11am Pacific for Crafting A Psycho-Emotive Ritual Scene with Keiden Bren. Learn what you need to make your scenes fully immersive and engaging in this online class. Can’t attend live? We’ll record this class to watch on demand throughout the week. Advanced ticketing is required. Get yours on Plura or Forbidden Tickets.

Don’t want to spend a bazillion dollars on building out your toybag? Just like begin creative with your tools? Join Princess Rara at 2pm Pacific online for Exploring Pleasure with Pervertables! Advanced ticketing required, whether you plan to watch live or catch the recording later in the week. Get your tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Sunday 4/20

We heard today was the high holidays, and we booked three classes for the season, all online. All three classes can be attended live or watched later in the week on demand, but you must get your tickets before the class time to get the recording.

Join us at 11am Pacific for The High Life: Cannabis, Intimacy, and Kink with Miss Mackenzee. With many people using cannabis for recreation or medicine, it’s important to think about how this impacts our intimacy, sexuality, and play. Let’s be more safe and have more fun! Get your advanced tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura and you can watch this class live or later in the week on demand.

Then at 2pm Pacific, join Lilithfoxx for Blunt Talk: Boundaries and Consent While Using Cannabis. Good boundaries and good consent are critical for all kinds of play, not just because they keep us safe but also because they actually allow us to be more present and have more fun when we are playing. Get your advanced tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

And finally at 4:20pm Pacific: you’ve heard of cigar service, but why not apply that to blunts and cannabis? Join us for a unique look at service play in Canna Service with Auntie Vice. Advanced tickets are required. Get yours on Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
