Wicked Grounds Takeover at fwb

Friday, March 20 at 7P: Play Lab: Impact!

RSVP

Play Lab is a kinky skill share, come indulge in your passions or learn something new!

​Join us for this community-forward collaborative space where we tackle a different topic each month.

​This month's topic: Impact Play!

Hosted by Miriam Green of Wicked Grounds

​Bring your favorite gear, tools and toys if you have them. If you don't have a thing or are just starting out, bring an open mind and a willingness to soak it all in.

​We welcome those of all experience levels! Curious newbies and seasoned kinksters alike can come together to build knowledge and practice in a casual, conversational setting. Think less of a play party, more of a kinky salon to collaborate and grow. To keep things open to folks at all experience levels, this space will be both sex positive and sex free.

​Our hosts and space monitors will be present to provide assistance and create a safer container for us to play and explore. (If you are an experienced kink practitioner interested in volunteering 30 minutes between 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM as a space monitor for free entry, contact nick@wickedgrounds.com for vetting.

Saturday, March 21 at 3P: This Is Your Brain On Kink

RSVP

While our relationships with kink are deeply personal and sometimes idiosyncratic, the neuroscience of peak experiences can tell us a lot about what we all have in common. Learning about what happens in our brains when we play can lead to better communication and better scenes.

​Together, we'll explore:

• ​The four major neurotransmitters behind building a kink headspace
• ​How and why edgeplay makes even well-planned scenes less predictable
• ​How to stay in communication before, during, and after each scene
• ​What to know when negotiating for relationships
• ​The causes of post-scene drop, and how to deal with drop when it occurs

Sunday, March 22 at 3P: Kink Exploration Deep-Dive: A Daylong Intensive

RSVP

Whether you're new to exploring BDSM play or are an experienced player looking to go deeper, we invite you to join us for a special daylong BDSM intensive in downtown Los Angeles! Miriam Green will be leveraging a dozen years of kink education and coaching to dive deeply into refining your personal kink roadmap and how to get the most out of your kink journey.

• ​Throughout the day, we will cover:
• ​Discovering and honoring what turns you on
• ​Disentangling from others' erotic projections
• ​Safely exploring kink and other edgy forms of eroticism
• ​Troubleshooting common challenges in communication
• ​Managing ecstasy, frenzy, and drop
• ​Trying new skills in the bedroom and beyond
• ​Finding your voice and speaking freely
• ​Sharing the desires you're afraid to voice

​This work will be completely accessible to brand new players, while deeply valuable for experienced kinksters.

​The day's format:

We will meet from 10am - 5pm in a private downtown workshop space. The day's work will be a mixture of lecture style, discussion, and a couple of breakout sessions. You will go home with optional homework!

​Please bring a notebook, pens, snacks, and a prepared sack lunch. We will have two 10-minute breaks and one 45-minute lunch break throughout the day.

​Previous students say:

​"Knowing why you do kink is the most valuable asset any kinkster can have, moreso than any technique or toy on the market. Mir's inclusive framework and expansive knowledge base create an amazing sandbox for players to explore what makes them tick and how to better pursue it. Whether you've been playing for five minutes or fifty years, this class is a game-changer!" - Ari Can-Do
