ONLINE: Kink, Trauma Play, and Healing: A Research-Informed Deep Dive

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sat, Oct 31, 202611:00 AM – 1:00 PM💻 Online

This class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns, mechanics, and meanings people often find in trauma play. --- If you have engaged in trauma play in kink, this class gives you a straightforward way to understand what was happening. Many kink practitioners who work with traumatic experiences through kink recognize the territory but often lack the language to describe it. Some leave a scene feeling steadier, while others feel more shaken, largely because no one ever taught them how to name the processes they just went through. People have been working through difficult emotions in kink for a long time, and research is only now beginning to catch up. This class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns, mechanics, and meanings people often find in trauma play. Without idealizing or pathologizing the practice, it provides a space to look closely at something many people know intimately and want to finally understand. Join us for a kinky deep-dive, with plenty of time for questions and chit-chat! PRESENTER: Aidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist, educator, researcher, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware, grounded in inclusive practices, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience, creating spaces where community voices are centered, respected, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research, he has developed and led community education programs on kink, consent, trauma awareness, and ethical non-monogamy. At the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. TICKETING: $30 suggested. We offer several price points, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/8aab075396 Patreon members at the VIP+ level may get discounted tickets for $10.

ONLINE: Consent, Accountability, and Neurodivergence: A Two Part Series

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Sun, Nov 1, 202611:00 AM – 1:00 PM💻 Online

How does Neurodivergence affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability? In this participatory two part workshop, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. --- How does neurodivergence affect consent – including mistakes, incidents, and violations? How does it affect boundaries, grappling with hurt and harm (and discerning between the two), and accountability at the personal, interpersonal, and community levels? In this participatory two part workshop, we will dive into these questions with case studies and real-life examples. We’ll look through a trauma- and disability justice-informed lens, and talk about common patterns, subjective interpretations, ascriptions, and communication-based on neurotypes, socialization, and lived experience. We will make space for embodied activities and create plenty of room for community members to share their experiences. PRESENTER: Adam is a community organizer, mediator, conflict transformation facilitator, kink and consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, neurodivergence accessibility, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, harm reduction, and systems transformation. They desire to help people relate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam has been an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy, advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, from organizing spaces to the sex+ world. Adam sees this work as intersectional, directly connected to the better, more liberatory world they want to live in. TICKETING: $60 suggested. We offer multiple price points, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/6e0ca347f8 If cost is a barrier at any point on the sliding scale, please use the Volunteer List at the bottom of the listing to request a scholarship seat. ACCESS: This will be a live, online class offered through Zoom. To participate, you will need to download the free, basic version of the Zoom app before the class!

Diving Deep Discovering and Voicing Erotic Desires

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Nov 1–Dec 14, 20266:00 PM – 9:00 PM💻 Online

The first step in negotiating is voicing what we want. But many of us run into challenges: What do I want? As I figure that out, how do I feel safe talking out loud about my desires? This six week course is designed to help kinksters and other erotic adventurers get un-stuck around our evolving desires and how to ask for them. This work is perfect for anyone launching a new phase in their erotic journeys (or feeling stuck in an old phase). About Miriam Green Miriam Green has been in the public kink scene for over twenty years in the Austin, Houston, and San Francisco scenes. They teach a series of KINK 101 classes on the SF kink community, BDSM negotiations, and dating while kinky. They also are the owner of Wicked Grounds, San Francisco's leader in BDSM education and community building. How we'll engage The six week course will run live from November 1 - December 14, 2026. This class will include six total weeks of content and homework, three 90-minute live online group sessions on Monday evenings (all recorded for later participation if needed), and at least one half-hour individual consult with instructor Miriam Green. (Our class tiers include the option to add more consulting for your own journey.) Our three 90-minute live group sessions will be offered via Zoom on Monday, November 2; Monday, November 23; and Monday, December 7 - all at 6pm Pacific time. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing or for those who cannot attend the sessions live. 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 psychological responses you have to kink? Do you want to connect deeply with others? Then yes: this course is for you!
