Hello kinksters - We hope you’re having a great summer! ‘Tis the season for lots of kinky campouts, and we’re getting great stories back from folks all over the country packing up for and decompressing from various kinky outings. Here in drizzly coastal northern California, we’ve prepared a long weekend of several kink classes. Most of our online classes are recorded (check the listings!) so if you’re out and about, you can rest assured that your advanced ticket will get you a copy of the recording after the fact. Speaking of those classes, let’s dive in! This Week!Thursday, July 17New to kink? You’ll want to check out munches! Those are the fun, lighthearted social events where kinksters get to know one another, explore resources, and build community. Learn everything about how to navigate the world of munches and start building your kink reputation in our online class Starting Out in Kink: Navigating Your First Munch with Princess Rara. Can’t attend live? We will record this one. Just be sure to get advanced tickets to get the recording. Advanced ticketing through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Friday, July 18No live classes today.

If you’d like a practical, hands-on approach to working sex magick, join us at 11am Pacific online for Put a Sigil On It! with Miriam BatAsherah Green. You’ll learn how to create, design, and charge a practical object for directing your energy. Whether you plan to attend live or watch the recording, you’ll need advance tickets.
