All weekly meetings will be recorded for those who cannot attend live. Expect a total of three hours coursework per week, plus daily practice in sitting meditation and journaling. Go deeply into creating your own magickal frameworks I have been teaching magick since 2004 and teaching BDSM since 2014. The work we'll engage in together goes well beyond what I can teach in a typical 90-minute intro class. We'll work with the tools and techniques I use most often, including personal D/s pentacles I developed in 2006 and have never taught to students outside of this workshop. Our six-week course will go live September 8 - October 13, 2026, and will include pre-recorded video lessons, written lessons, and six live sessions of about 93 minutes each (pre-recorded if you cannot attend live). Who is Miriam BatAsherah Green? Miriam BatAsherah Green is a full-time BDSM educator and coach who has been teaching magick since 2004 and kink since 2014. Miriam is an initiated witch in the Reclaiming tradition and a proud member of Ordo Templi Orientis. Miriam's kabbalah and tarot classes have long demystified occult practice, and they look forward to bringing this approach to practical sex magick.

ONLINE: Ethical Self Harm

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

Join former "cutter" turned self sadomasochist, Lady V, in redirecting that negative energy into something cathartic, fun, & potentially healing. --- Many engage in physical "self harm" as a psychosomatic outlet of release when they feel distressed or depressed with no outlet or validation. This class aims to instead redirect real physical self harm into using our tools of BDSM for temporary playful pain. Join former "cutter" turned self sadomasochist, Lady V, in redirecting that negative energy into something cathartic, fun, & potentially healing. What is ethical self harm vs self harm? Ethical self harm is a tool for self regulation without causing further emotional or physical distress. This includes not leaving permanent marks that could leave reminders of a time of distress. We'll give some ideas & structure around: Using toys & tools safely on yourself Laying down your own code of ethics & self boundaries Turning self harm into self love & play. Use of orgasms to flip moods & rewards DISCLAIMER: This is not a celebration of self harm, a form of or replacement for therapy or treatment. This is a mitigation of more dangerous methods or permanent forms of self harm, like cutting, in lieu of something that can be an emotional outlet or fun. PRESENTER: @The_Lady_V (she/her) is a spiritually & socioculturally driven sex-positive educator, community organizer, lifestyle switch & pro dominatrix based out of Los Angeles, CA & Portland, OR.

Hosted by Wicked Grounds

This class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us, and why. --- The guideline of “Your Kink Is Not My Kink” (YKINMK) has become foundational in the sex positive and BDSM communities as the standard for acceptance of diversity - and as the gold standard to avoid shaming. But what happens when we struggle with another’s kink, to the point of becoming judgmental, disturbed, or even triggered? This class will review types of play (including edge play) that might “squick” or trigger us, and why. We’ll examine how to overcome our own biases, discuss what to report and what not to report, and how to reach the tolerance of Your Kink Is OK.

He has been a kink educator since he began teaching consent and BDSM basics at Seattle’s Center for Sex Positive Culture in 2011.

The recording will be available to ticket holders. Strap-on as edge play? Absolutely—if you know what you’re doing! Strap-ons can take someone apart until they’re a whimpering puddle, glassy-eyed and stumbling, unable to remember their own name. In this workshop, Rain DeGrey will show you how strap-ons can go far beyond “fun and sexy” into the realm of brutal edge play—all while keeping safety, consent, and communication at the center. Expect a raw, candid, and practical look into the psychology, risks, and techniques behind pushing strap-on play to its limits. Topics include the following: • Choosing the right harnesses & toys • Negotiation, risk assessment & clear communication • Cleaning tips & biohazard considerations • Vomit/gagging play • Breath play & cervix punching • Extreme anal & internal bruising • What to do when a scene goes off the rails • Aftercare & check-ins • Live Q&A …and much more! If you’ve ever thought, “This is nice, but how do I take it up to 11—and where’s the puke?” then this is the class for you. Come prepared to rethink what’s possible with a strap-on. This is a pansexual class open to all genders and orientations. Everyone is welcome—the only requirement is an open mind.
