Hello Kinksters - I had the great pleasure of begin interviewed a couple of weeks back by Greg, a delightful member of our local community. We talked about navigating the kink scene, my own long journey in kink, and why the heck I'm so into woo. Want to listen? You can find the interview on Spotify here. This week has been filled with deep explorations for me, personally and professionally. My deepest thanks to the folks who participated in last week's class on older kinksters in the scene and to our new Diving Deep cohort. Your questions keep me thinking and exploring, and it's that spirit of beginner's mind that I think is the most important thing in kink. Late registration for Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Erotic Desires closes today, and our first live interactive session meets this Sunday. It's not too late to join us! Get your spot for this six-week workshop here. As you may have seen, we released a new digital download this week! Private Joy: Sadomasochism for Solo & Distance Play is now available for download at WickedGroundsAnnex.com Speaking of websites, we're in the last phases of a major update to WickedGrounds.com to better serve our community and provide a better experience for online shopping. Please pardon our dust if you encounter any minor disruptions to access next week. Read on for an update on this week's events! Memberships keep Wicked Grounds going.

Join us at 6pm Pacific for this online class. Details & ticketing here. Tuesday, February 27The best way to get the most out of your next year in kink is to review the last one.

Wednesday, February 28If you're interested in the intersection of kink and woo like I am, you'll want to make time for Wednesday evening's class with HG Wyndell. In Invisible Toybox, we will learn techniques for manipulating energy, and briefly discuss the ethics of energy play, and ways to incorporate energy into BDSM, for connection, play, and intimacy. Join us online at 6pm Pacific! Details & ticketing here. Thursday, February 29Kink as an embodied skill requires us to include all of our bodies and their abilities.
