Hello kinksters - A very happy May Day to all! Whether you’re dancing around a maypole, gathering May flowers, marching for worker’s rights, or all of the above, we are here for you! I’m personally excited to spend time this Sunday hosting an all-day event to get back in our bodies and claim resilient feminine energy. If you’re in the Bay Area and this work calls to you, you can find out more here. If you’re an educator or aspiring educator looking for strategies to get through these very weird times, perhaps you’d like to join us for our annual Kink Class Incubator, which will launch on Monday, 5/5 through our site on Teachable. We’d love to have you join us. This week!Thursday 5/1Hurray! Hurray! It’s the first of May! Outdoor shenanigans start today!

Friday 5/2No live classes tonight, but you can get our digital downloads and video classes or even explore one on one coaching at Wicked Grounds Annex.

Join us today for Welcome to the Public Kink Scene with Miriam Green starting at 11am Pacific. Get your advanced tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday 5/4Almost all parts of the body are ripe targets for BDSM play. Why not the hair and scalp? Join us online this morning for Fatal Follicles: Hair Pulling for Harlots! with Lady V and learn how to do hair-pulling right for sensation play and control.
