Hello kinksters - We had a full house at SpankLab! last night. It’s great to see people taking time to be creative, deepen their skills, and make new friends. SpankLab is coming up on its fourth anniversary later this summer, and has been wonderful to see the idea of these kinds of playshops taking root all over the country! We are heading deeper into Pride month, and we have a lot of fun in-person and online classes for you over the coming weeks. Upcoming Intensives!We offer several intensives throughout the year, both in person and online. Here are a few that have just been opened for registration that you might want to check out.
This Week!Thursday, June 5 through Saturday, June 7We’re moving our typical first Saturday programming to next week so that Mir can attend their local Pride celebrations! Looking for an online class?

Monday, June 9No live classes tonight, but check out our video classes, workbooks, and more at Wicked Grounds Annex Tuesday, June 10Maybe you’re curious about polyamory. Maybe you’re new to polyamory and facing typical early struggles. Or maybe you’re an experienced polyamorist, and you want a class to send friends and family to so that you can get a break from the constant questions. No matter your reason, you’re warmly welcomed to join Laura Boyle for Polyamory 101 online tonight starting at 6pm (or you may watch the recording later in the week). Advanced ticketing required.

If you’re in the SF Bay Area, join us for two in-person classes at our home in downtown San Francisco! At Noon Pacific, join us for Diving Deep: Discovering and Voicing Your Erotic Desires.

Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. And then at 2:30pm, join us from our bimonthly class Welcome to the SF Bay Area Kink Scene! Miriam Green will help you understand the culture, organizations, venues, and other resources that make the SF Bay Area scene so remarkable, and let you know everything you need to make the most of it safely and enjoyably.

Hi there! You're getting this because our email system thinks you're within a reasonable drive of the SF Bay Area! We have a LOT of in-person events coming up in San Francisco and Oakland, and I wanted to make sure you know where to find us. Most of our in-person events have been selling out hours or days before the event, so we always recommend getting space early if you can! You probably already know that our SF classes are just a small fraction of our total set of events. Find the full...

Hello kinksters - As I write this, I’m sitting in my favorite “office away from home,” a little coffee zone in a tourist spot on the Sonoma coast about a half-hour from my home. While it’s not that far from me, it offers a completely different vantage point: a vast expanse of tranquil ocean stretching far past the horizon.
