This Week with Wicked Grounds (11/13 - 11/23)

Hello kinksters - We are moving into the end of year, and that means it’s course development time here at Wicked Grounds. We’re working on our 2026 plans, which involve some new multi-week intensives and also expanding live classes beyond the Bay Area. Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. Will we have Black & Blue Friday specials again this year? You bet we will! In fact, we’ll have some fresh offers for you every day of the Thanksgiving weekend, so watch your inboxes or FetLife for...

Hello kinksters - We have a great lineup for you this week, with a very full slate of online classes and resources for you. Let’s dig into it! This Week! Thursday, November 6 Online: The moon is getting full. Ready for some magic? Join Madam Rose online tonight for the first of two full moon classes, Elemental Magic in BDSM. Explore all the ways to bring the classical magical elements into your kink play! Advanced ticketing required, whether you plan to attend live or through the recording....

Hello kinksters - As I write this, I am reviewing all our first-week homework progress for students who have already registered for this year's Diving Deep intensive, and am putting the last touches on our live class for tonight. This will be our third year running this work as an intensive, and it's been life changing for dozens of attendees so far. We have one previous attendee coming back for a reboot in their life since our last work together, and that touches me deeply. If you'd like to...

Hello kinksters - Yesterday, I published the first week of homework for Diving Deep, my six-week online intensive about getting really clear on -- and then manifesting -- our kink, erotic, and relationship desires. This will be our third year running this work as an intensive, and it's been life changing for dozens of attendees so far. I'm truly grateful for this container of work, and I've seen several graduates completely transform their lives inside of kink and beyond with the tools we...

Hello kinksters - Tomorrow is Halloween! We hope you have a great time, however you spend it! I (Mir) spent last weekend at Dark Odyssey: Surrender in San Jose. The event had record attendance this year, and I dove right into several events I was leading or co-leading as well as my own personal adventures in learning. (I’m recommitting to my rope explorations this year!) I am returning very grateful for deep conversations, cuddle with old friends, long scenes, lots of magick, and reconnecting...

Hello kinksters - Happy nearly Halloween! Several of the events you’ll see this weekend are at Dark Odyssey: Surrender in San Jose! Registration for the conference is the only way to attend this weekend’s events Friday through Sunday, and registration is expected to close today (Wednesday, 10/22). If you’ve been waiting to get tickets, now is the time. Like, right now! Not at DO? Don’t worry! We have lots of online classes before and after the conference. Also, our yearly cohort of Diving...

The next cohort of Diving Deep is just a couple of weeks away! This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). Is this course for you? Do you get stuck when asked "what do you want in intimate relationships?" Are you uncomfortable telling partners about your desires and kinks? Have you been doing the same thing for a long time and want to find new routes to eroticism? Do you want a deep understanding of the physical and...

Hello kinksters - We’re a flurry of activity right now, getting ready for next week’s Dark Odyssey: Surrender in San Jose and our yearly cohort of Diving Deep: Discovering & Voicing Your Erotic Desires, which launches in early November. If you’re headed to Dark Odyssey, you can now see all the events from our most active local instructors posted to our FetLife events for your perusal. As of right now, DO still has full registrations and day passes available, so that you can join us – but that...

Behold our latest full events roster!
