This Week with Wicked Grounds (8/7 - 8/17)
|
Hello kinksters - We have a lot going on this week, both in San Francisco and online! I’ll tell you all about it in a moment. One quick request first. We’ve been shaking the trees this week to try to get our scholarship fund replenished going into this fall. We know that a lot of people are going through it right now, but if you are able to sustainably give a few bucks (or several) to help other kinksters have financial accessibility, we’d sure appreciate your help! My goal is to stop actively shaking the trees by Sunday, but we are very far behind our targets. Everything helps! Our six-week tarot intensive launches on August 10th. We’ll have our first live online class on Monday, August 11th. It’s a great time to grab your spot! This weekend, Wicked Grounds is proud to be part of the Saturday, August 9th Camp Unity: Fireside Edition party at Stopgap, along with Dark Odyssey, AfterDark Events, Society of Janus, Nocturnal Events, and more. Wicked Grounds will present a SpankLab demo on bottoming skills from impossiblepain, and offer an Ask Us Anything coaching booth. Fun! And the San Francisco Fetish Flea is coming up on Sunday, August 10th! This is a great way to get new, handcrafted, and upcycled kink gear. We hosted the event for years and always recommend it! Let’s take a look at this coming week: This Week!Thursday, August 7 - Friday, August 8No live classes today. But check out our video classes and other digital downloads at WickedGroundsAnnex.Teachable.com Saturday, August 9Join Sarah Butcher online today for Rules and Rituals for Power Play.

Ranger Station for Kinky Info, Navigation & Knowledge! The knowledgeable rangers from Wicked Grounds are ready to help guide your journey! And our SpankLab host impossiblepain will be hosting a bottoming skills class with the assistance of Miriam Green. Advanced ticketing required. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets. Sunday, August 10Join us online today for The Spark Between Us: Energy, Presence & Power in BDSM from Fire on the Mountain. You’ll learn new ways to show up completely for your scenes and engage fully with your partners. This online class will be recorded but you’ll need advanced tickets to either attend live or through the recording. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Today is also the official launch day of our six-week tarot intensive The Pentacle Path with Miriam Green, with our first live Zoom session on Monday, 8/11. Reserve your spot here on Teachable! If you’re in the SF Bay Area, head over to the SF Fetish Flea today from 11am - 5pm to see the best in handcrafted and upcycled kink gear. Admission is only $5 and you’re sure to find great new toys. Monday, August 11Tonight is our first live online class for The Pentacle Path with Miriam Green. If you’d like the ability to attend all of our Zoom sessions live rather than through the recording, this is also your last day to register for the course. Reserve your spot here on Teachable! Tuesday, August 12Dating is already hard enough! Add being kinky into the mix, and it gets even more complicated. If you’re facing challenges, you are not alone – and we can offer you some tips, tricks, and considerations to make it a little easier. Join Miriam Green online tonight for Dating While Kinky, and we’ll do our best to help! Advanced ticketing required whether you plan to attend live or watch through the recording.

Saturday, August 16We have some great classes in San Francisco and online this weekend! Online, join UK kink educator Sarah Butcher for a class on Consensual Non-Consent. We’ve timed this one to run live at 11am Pacific and 7pm in the UK so that folks (almost) everywhere can watch live, but we’ll also record this for later watching – so long as you have an advanced ticket. You can get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Are you in the San Francisco Bay Area? Have you been meaning to learn the basics of shibari & rope bondage? Join us in SOMA from noon - 2pm for Let’s Get Knotty: Rope Bondage for Beginners with Jaime Joy! Space is limited, so it’s a good idea to get tickets in advanced (although we’re happy to sell space-available tickets at the door). Get your advanced tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday, August 17Join Lee Harrington online today for Getting Freaky & Spicy: BDSM & Kink Basics. This legendary teacher will help you get your bearings in the world of kink play! We’ll launch at 11am Pacific / 7pm UK time, so most folks can attend live, but everyone will also have the option to watch a recorded version later. Get your tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. In the SF Bay Area? We have two classes for you today. Join us from noon - 2pm for our in-person class Rope for Sex and Intimacy with Jamie Joy. If your goals for rope bondage include sexual play, you’re going to want this class. Learn all the positions and ties that work best for your goals! Space is limited, so we recommend ticketing in advance through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Door tickets will be available on a space-available basis. Then at 4pm, join Psychokitty Ryan for Improv for Naughty Play live in San Francisco. Learn basic techniques for improv, and how to leverage them to innovate creative and connective BDSM scenes in real time. Space for this one is very limited – we can only accommodate up to 22 people. We strongly recommend advanced tickets through Forbidden Tickets or Plura. 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.
Warmly, Support. Follow. Share.
