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.

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

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.

That joy now fuels her work as a teacher, where she leads classes on the violet wand with a blend of technical skill, embodied presence, and femme Dom power. Her approach balances precision and creativity with safety and care, creating space for students to explore the charged interplay of pain and pleasure, push their limits in consent-forward ways, and tap into kink as a language of empowerment and intimacy.

ONLINE: Finding Your Power: The 10 Sides of What Gets Called D/s

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Tue, Nov 17, 20266:00 PM – 8:00 PM💻 Online

In this class, we’ll gently unravel and explore the complexities of D/s. --- Have you ever spoken about craving a power exchange relationship, or named an interest in dominance and submission scene, only to find that the other person’s understanding is completely different than your own? That disconnect is more common than we tend to admit, because those familiar terms actually hold at least ten distinct, nuanced dimensions, each carrying its own language of power, desire, and authority. In this class, we’ll gently unravel those layers, exploring how they can show up in our fantasies, negotiations, and lived relationships. Together, we’ll look at the ways these dynamics intertwine, diverge, and sometimes quietly contradict one another. By the end, you’ll have clearer tools for naming your needs, hearing the needs of others, and aligning your connections with greater intention, consent, and care. PRESENTER: Lee Harrington is an internationally known spiritual and erotic authenticity educator, gender explorer, eclectic artist and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. He’s been traveling the globe teaching and talking about sexuality, psychology, faith and desire, and believes you deserve passion and connection in your life.

ONLINE: Trickster at the Crossroads: Myth and Mischief in Kinky Roleplay

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Tue, Dec 8, 20262:00 PM – 4:00 PM💻 Online

In this two-hour interactive workshop, we will explore how Trickster archetypes can inspire kink, erotic storytelling, and roleplay. --- What might your desires reveal when you invite the sacred troublemaker into your kink practice? Across mythology, Tricksters steal from the powerful, cross forbidden boundaries, change shape, speak dangerous truths, and lure others into bargains whose meanings are never quite what they seem. They disrupt the ordinary world—and create openings for transformation, freedom, pleasure, and possibility. In this two-hour interactive workshop, we will explore how Trickster archetypes can inspire kink, erotic storytelling, and roleplay. Through mythology, guided reflection, and collaborative scene-building, participants will discover their own styles of erotic mischief and experiment with tools such as temptation, riddles, wagers, shapeshifting, secret identities, playful rule-breaking, power reversals, and negotiated surprise. We will also examine the ethics of Trickster play. How can we create the feeling of unpredictability without compromising informed consent? What is the difference between a fictional betrayal and a real one? How do we negotiate games in which characters lie, rules appear to change, or power is not where it first seems to be? Participants will learn how to create a clear container for improvisation so that the story may be chaotic while the players remain cared for. Come prepared to meet the thief, tempter, fool, shapeshifter, riddler, or beautiful saboteur within you. You will leave with a personalized Trickster archetype, a framework for negotiating consensual mischief, and the beginnings of an original roleplay or kink scene. No prior kink, mythology, or roleplaying experience is required.
