Foundations meets in the Annex most Monday evenings from 7pm - 9pm with a wide range of weekly topics. This week’s topic is Fisting. Fetlife Facebook Have you ever wondered why there was this deep soulful exclamation of Ggggooooooddddddd..in the back of the church pews?...that's the throaty cry of a truly spirited parishioner - not unlike the experience of someone with a fist deep inside them. Sometimes it might also sound like someone is speaking in tongues. There are reasons why people say fisting is like a spiritual experience...it's not always about getting off, it might be about being filled and your body stretched...a lot of times overwhelming almost as if it were a religious experience. In this class we will be discussing the 101 of vaginal fisting, why people want to explore fisting, negotiation, technique, supplies, anatomy and more! Be ready for a pop quiz! You do need a sponsor to attend Foundations classes, but it's easy to get sponsored -- just come to their office hours in the cafe (info above) before class.

At The Annex:
The Intermediate Poly Workshop is from 7-9pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup This is a series of monthly workshops where we'll tackle more advanced poly topics as a group. The idea of a topic being more advanced in poly simply stems from the fact that these topics usually arise after someone's been doing poly for a while. These groups are open to absolutely anyone of any level who wants to attend. We just won't be devoting time to covering the usual early poly subjects like jealousy or opening up an existing relationship. The only requirement for attending is your curiosity and openness to discussion. This month’s topic is gender. Some of us feel strongly that gender is on its way out. Some of us feel that it's expanding exponentially. Regardless of whether you think we're headed towards a thousand genders or none at all, let's talk about how your picture of gender affects your relationships. Do you choose whether to date someone based on their views on gender? Do you structure your relationships differently to avoid or subvert social gender concepts? Whether your gender is multi-term or single-term, come join a discussion on all the wonderful permutations of gender and poly.

Not every Asexual person is celibate and not all kink has to be sexualized! If you fall into either category, or are just generally ace-friendly, come relax with other like-minded folx in a sex positive, but not sex active, space! This monthly meetup is led by @AnxiousAceAya and their lovely allo-liason Azery.

At The Annex:
Join Stefanos and Shay for It’s a Trap! Playful Scenes and Non-Bondage Predicaments from 3-5pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup This isn't always serious work we do! Predicaments are all about getting between the proverbial rock and a hard place (and laughing as your partner is flummoxed by their situation); playful BDSM is about giggling together in scene, with bottom and top both participating creating the torment. This class will show you how to bring a different level of engagement to your BDSM play and go beyond giving and receiving sensations create storylines and connect mentally with your partner. Stefanos & Shay will also address both the top and bottoms perspective, including communicating within the mood of your scene and discussion of bratting. Leave your rope bag at home this is NOT a bondage class! In addition to demonstrating many specific predicaments and games, Stefanos & Shay will discuss this type of play in a broad sense to guide you in developing your own unique scenes.

Stefanos & Shay will also address both the top and bottoms perspective, including communicating within the mood of your scene and discussion of bratting. Leave your rope bag at home this is NOT a bondage class! In addition to demonstrating many specific predicaments and games, Stefanos & Shay will discuss this type of play in a broad sense to guide you in developing your own unique scenes. Please purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Ticketsor at the door.

Finally, we will discuss how these tools can be applied beyond sensation or sadism, into performance, stationary art, meditation, and ritual ordeal. Please purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.
All events are open to any Wicked Grounds customer, at any level of kink/BDSM experience. We hope you'll come out and learn more about the extremely diverse SF kink community!

The Intermediate Poly Workshop is from 7-9pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup This is a series of monthly workshops where we'll tackle more advanced poly topics as a group. The idea of a topic being more advanced in poly simply stems from the fact that these topics usually arise after someone's been doing poly for a while. These groups are open to absolutely anyone of any level who wants to attend. We just won't be devoting time to covering the usual early poly subjects like jealousy or opening up an existing relationship. The only requirement for attending is your curiosity and openness to discussion. This month’s topic is Poly Styles. Do you live in the spectrums of egalitarian poly, solo poly, relationship anarchy, kitchen table poly, or any of the numerous other variants that generally don't get as much publicity? This month, let's break off the shackles of the hierarchy and dive into forms of poly meant to support completely different ways of relating. Whether you already practice one of these styles or are just curious about them, join us for a discussion on what poly is like when you've ditched almost all of the social scripts on how to form relationships. Please purchase tickets in advance at a discounted rate through Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.

Negotiation styles
Pre-scene negotiations
How to negotiate without killing the mood

The Intermediate Poly Workshop occurs from 7-9pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup This is a series of monthly workshops where we'll tackle more advanced poly topics as a group. The idea of a topic being more advanced in poly simply stems from the fact that these topics usually arise after someone's been doing poly for a while. These groups are open to absolutely anyone of any level who wants to attend. We just won't be devoting time to covering the usual early poly subjects like jealousy or opening up an existing relationship. The only requirement for attending is your curiosity and openness to discussion. This month’s topic is Kink Roles. You can be a protocol sub who doesn't want limitations in your connections with others. You can be a Little with one partner and a Big with another. Poly is all about the freedom to explore all of the sides of yourself with as many excited consensual partners as you want. Bringing your kink dynamics into that can be complicated but very rewarding. What have been your struggles and triumphs in bringing your poly and kink life together? Do you have multiple kink identities that you'd prefer exploring with different people? Let's talk about all the explored and undiscovered mixtures of poly and kink. Please purchase tickets in advance at a discounted rate through Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.

BossBoar will be teaching his Pressure Points Intensive from 11:30am-2:30pm. (Also known as: Come see the person that writes these newsletters get tortured for three hours!)
Fetlife Facebook Meetup Go hands on! Pain and power are at your fingertips with this class on pressure points. By perverting years as a paramedic and martial artist, BossBoar will teach you to skip the impact play and directly access your partner's nervous system using only your hands. Regardless of size, learn to leverage body mechanics to leave any bottom writhing in pain. Never leave home without your toy bag again! This will start with a short demo, followed by a comprehensive lecture on the components of a pressure points scene, ending with a practice session. This will be heavily hands-on! Be sure to come hydrated and energetic. He highly recommends tops/switches bring a partner, as much of the class will be practicing locating and applying pressure points. Bottoms are encouraged to attend to learn more about the pleasures and potential pitfalls of this unusual style of play. Please purchase discounted tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets or full price at the door.
Join Johnny Truant from 3:30-5:30pm for Magick 101: Theatre Skills for Better Ritual. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Are you the kind of person who can astral project like nobody's business but can’t project your damn voice across a room? Do you get all dressed up in your ceremonial robes and then just find yourself feeling silly? Do magical postures feel forced and awkward? Are you intimidated by arcane language, or do you struggle to connect emotionally with your evocations? This class is for you! Using theater games and exercises, well overcome our ceremonial stage fright. In the process well giggle a lot, make giant buffoons of ourselves, and learn not to care! By the end of this class, you should be better able to commit your energy to any ritual, whether you're performing it in private or in front of hundreds of people. Please purchase discounted tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets or full price at the door.

RodeoKitten will be teaching their newest class Navigating Consent and Violations from 11am-1pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Consent and consent violations are often complex and hard to navigate.

Everyone’s risk profile should include these tools in order to make the most of these situations and be able to process them in a healthy way. Through lecture, discussion, and a live demo, this workshop will help you navigate through the first steps to understanding and acceptance from both sides of this difficult territory. Please purchase discounted tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets or full price at the door.
Mir will be teaching their Kink Class Incubator from 2-6pm. Fetlife Facebook Meetup Thinking all the time about that perfect class you'd like to teach?

Of course, we'd be delighted if you plan to teach at the Annex (and we'll refund your class fee if you do!), but our goal is to create great teachers who can teach anywhere.
In this workshop, you will learn to:
Refine and sharpen your core message
Figure how what you really want to say -- what only you can
Differentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge
Market your class in ways that really work
Include your students, and learn as you teach
Give a class that makes a difference
Engage your audience and build your fans

Mir will be teaching a day long seminar on Kabbalah from 10am-6:30pm. FetlifeFacebook Meetup Kabbalah doesn't need to be obscure, pedantic, or boring.

Topics include:

• The Big Bang and the Ain Soph Aur
• The PARDES interpretive tradition
• Four Letters, Four Worlds, and Three Souls
• The Sephirot
• Hebrew Letters - Categories, Cubes, and a Bit of Gossip
• Intro to Tarot and Kabbalah
• Putting it All Together

Each topic will have plenty of time for meditation, magick and exercises to dive deep into the subject, and we will close with a co-created exercise to build our own tree and imbue it with meaning using the tools we have learned. Please purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.
