This Week with Wicked Grounds (7/7 - 7/13)
|
Hello kinksters - For those of you in the US, I wish you a good holiday weekend full of light, life, love, and liberty. I’m still recovering from two back-to-back weeks of very different Pride experiences. If you’d like my thoughts on a tale of two Prides, I recently wrote them up for my personal Substack. I am also very proud of some of the deep, meaningful explorations we have coming up for you, including two live daylong intensives in San Francisco and Oakland this coming weekend. Let’s get into it! This Week!Monday, July 7 through Sunday, July 13We aren’t doing any live programming over the holiday weekend. But you can always check out our video classes and other digital downloads at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com Monday, July 7Whether you’re playing at the edges of safety or just beginning to explore new kinks, it’s critical to think about what you’re doing and the risks involved. Join us online this evening for Risk Profile with Mel and Memi to think through this: what a risk profile is, how to use one, and how to create one, among other topics. Advanced ticketing is required for this online class. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Tuesday, July 8No live classes today. But check out our video classes and other digital downloads at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com Wednesday, July 9Are you in the SF Bay Area? Join us tonight for Kinky Speed Friending to make a lot of new kinky friends and potential play partners – fast! This event typically sells out, and as I write this we are already past the 50% mark on advanced ticketing – so get those tickets reserved through Plura! Thursday, July 10We offer two online classes tonight. Both will be recorded, but you need advanced tix to get the recording for this and all Wicked Grounds classes. Interested in rope? Want some new ways to make use of rope bondage in creative play? Join Miss Mackenzee online at 6pm Pacific for Boundless Creativity: Innovative Ways to Use Rope in Play to explore several new possibilities! Advanced ticketing required. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. And all players can use a good toolkit for Dealing with Drop. What the heck is this crashout that we have after great scenes (or kinky camps, or Pride . . . ) and what can be done to prevent and manage it? Join us for an online class with Miriam Green to explore just that! Advanced ticketing required. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Friday, July 11No live classes today. But check out our video classes and other digital downloads at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com Saturday, July 12Join us live in San Francisco today for a full daylong impact play workshop: Increasing Your Impact! A Daylong Impact Play Intensive with Miriam Green and impossiblepain. We’ll explore the practical, emotional, engaged, and somatic sides of impact play, including spanking, paddling, caning, and other (non-flogging) impact techniques, capping the day with a practical capstone exercise. You are welcome to get tickets with a partner, or come alone (and pair with a new friend for the capstone). There are only 11 seats left as we write this! Get your space through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday, July 13Get out of your head in into your body! Join us in Oakland, California for a daylong Erotic Movement workshop with Alexandria from Click Your Heels.

All bodies, genders, orientations, and experience levels are warmly welcomed! Advanced ticketing is required. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

Hello kinksters - I had a strange and interesting experience last week, tabling for Wicked Grounds at the first ever Mendocino County Pride in coastal Fort Bragg, California. The parade and festival was lovely, with a huge turnout (hundreds of people in a fairly small town), great music, heartfelt speeches, and so much resilience. I tabled among a mostly vanilla crowd, and allowed the folks who recognized our Leather Pride Flag branding to come to me. More than two-dozen times over the course...
Hello kinksters - I personally moderated our class on Pedi Pain last night, and learned a lot of great new material. I laughed, I winced, and you bet I took notes for my own creatively sadistic scenes! That’s the thing about the world of kink: no matter how long you’ve been around, there’s always something new to learn! I’ve been in the public kink scene for thirty years, but there is always a new idea, new technique, or different perspective that changes the way I see myself, my play, and my...
