This Week with Wicked Grounds (4/2 - 4/12)


Howdy kinksters -

It’s April, and that means it’s time for our annual Scholarship Fundraising Drive and Membership Drive.

We are strongly committed to keeping our education as accessible as possible, including offering sliding scale and scholarship seats for our classes. If you’d like to help us keep offering scholarships while taking care of our instructors, you may contribute to the scholarship fund here.

We also offer a membership program, and offer significant discounts to our VIP members! You may find out more about membership on our Patreon. It is no overstatement to say we literally would not exist without the continued support of our Patreon members at all levels.

To review:

  1. Contribute to our scholarship fund! and/ or
  2. Become a member and get some awesome benefits
  3. Keep us thriving and growing!

And now, let’s look at the events for this week!


This Week!

Online: Ready to learn some practical sex magick? Join Miriam BatAsherah Green online today for Put a Sigil On It!

Attend live or through the recording with your advanced tickets from Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
