In this workshop, you’ll explore the difference between being nice and being kind, and why embracing kindness can open doors to deeper, more fulfilling play partnerships and relationships.\r\nBased on his acclaimed TED Talk, Jon will take you on a deep dive into power dynamics—not just in kink, but in society—and how flipping the script can change the way others see you and how you see yourself. From celebrities to everyday interactions, you’ll discover how small acts of kindness can create powerful ripple effects.\r\nWe’ll also explore how kindness can enhance your scenes, bringing an unexpected depth to even the most intense dynamics. One highlight is the notebook scene—a breathtaking combination of words, impact, and sensation, first performed at Winter Wickedness, that welcomes those who feel lost or unsure of their place in the community.

Pick which one looks interesting, drop by, learn, contribute!\r\n\r\nClass#1: Good Subs Don’t Just Sit There! by Silver\r\n\r\nThis class explores what it means to be an active, engaged submissive both in scenes and in full-time dynamics. This class focuses on giving energy, reacting while maintaining a submissive position, and understanding how participation shapes the entire dynamic. After all, it can be difficult for a dominant to lead, guide, or create intensity when they’re given nothing to work with.\r\n\r\nWe’ll discuss how active submission can heighten the experience for everyone involved, creating scenes and relationships that feel more intentional, immersive, emotionally charged, and collaborative. Whether you’re new to submission or looking to deepen your dynamic, this class encourages submissives to move beyond passivity and become fully present contributors to the energy of a scene or relationship.\r\n\r\nAbout Silver\r\n\r\nSilver has been in the kink scene for about eight years as a service submissive and pet. His journey has included teaching classes and hosting LGBTQ+ munches in Lubbock, where they focused on creating supportive spaces for learning and connection. They are currently studying psychology with specialization in BDSM, sex education, and non-traditional relationships. In his personal life, Silver lives in a 24/7 dynamic with two dominants. They believe power exchange and service are tools to foster trust, intimacy, and community. Silver taught at NM Leather & Kink Fair Apr 2026 and Kintoberfest 2025.\r\n\r\nClass #2: I want My Mummy! (cocooning) by Matthew\r\n\r\nThis class will demonstrate different techniques while engaging in mummification play while also exploring safety protocols and materials to use while wrapping your Mummy. We will model wrapping procedures and how to keep your mummy safe during the scene.\r\n\r\nAbout Matthew\r\n\r\nMatthew has been a kinkster for most of his adult life. He enjoys Dom/sub dynamics as well as Bondage, chastity, pup/handler to name a few. He works in education and enjoys teaching others. His goal as an educator is to provide individuals the tools to participate in safe and fun kinky experiences.\r\n\r\nMore About NM L&K Fair\r\nNM L&K Fair was envisioned as a fun, social event of different sizes and durations, focused upon social time together and our community artisans.\r\n\r\nWe intent to hold NM L&K Fair at least four times a year, maybe more when it makes sense.\r\n\r\n• Main Event: Spring (April) - 1.5 days\r\n• Summer Event (this one) - Friday Evening\r\n• Fall Event: At Kinktoberfest, as the vendor focused activity.\r\n• Winter Event - Friday Evening\r\n\r\nWhether you're a seasoned member of the scene or simply curious, this recurring event offers a welcoming space to explore, connect with community, learn, be entertained, and support independent creators who embody authenticity and artistry. Some events may include entertainment and education while others may not. Join us for a celebration of self-expression, inclusivity, handmade goods, and the power of social time. With different activities and vendors, attendees can expect fresh experiences and a growing network of passionate individuals.

Whether you identify as kinky or not, consciously shaping the dynamics between people can open doors to life force, intimacy, and the energetic dance that lives between individuals or groups.\r\n\r\nIn this class, we’ll look at both intentional and unconscious power exchange patterns, why someone might step into them for a night or for a lifetime, and how these tools can support your magical work, energetic feeding, or broader life path.

The body’s responses to movement, pleasure, strain, endorphins, and challenge can be intentionally woven into kink to build richer, more connected scenes or even empower a thriving 24/7 D/s dynamic.\r\n\r\nThis class explores how to integrate fitness principles with kink play.

How do we set up a scene that allows the sub to trust you with whatever will happen next? How do we create and acknowledge boundaries and ensure they will be respected so that within them you both can revel in the pleasure of suspense, pain, and tension? With eight years of practice in BDSM, MF Dom brings a grounded, intentional approach to power exchange that gets you both there by balancing intensity with care.\r\n\r\nMF Dom specializes in impact play, wax play, electro play, and aftercare. He guides partners and students through the physical and emotional rhythms of trust, sensation, and release. His demonstrations and lessons emphasize safety, consent, and connection, inviting others to explore the power of awareness and touch.\r\n\r\nWhether leading a workshop or curating a scene, MF Dom’s presence reminds participants that true dominance isn’t about taking, it’s about both partners giving each other a mind-blowing experience built with trust and respect.\r\n\r\nTICKETING:\r\n\r\nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/bdce5cdc35\r\n\r\n$30 suggested.

Few other arenas of life expose our tender spots like romance does. One moment, we are flying high and find ourselves pedestalizing hot strangers; the next, we’re swimming in insecurity, shame, devastation, or hopelessness.\r\n\r\nOur shadow self represents the parts of us that we hide from our own sight—patterns and traits we would prefer not to feel, identify with, or be viewed as by others. However, what we resist persists: when repressed, our shadow often controls our lives from the sidelines, keeping authentic love and connection at arm’s length.\r\n\r\nIntegrating the shadow is about reclaiming disowned parts of ourselves in order to gain awareness, wholeness, and personal agency. In this class, we’ll explore dating as a spiritual and psychological practice—a living lab for shadow integration. Through guided reflection, dialogue, and practical tools, we’ll look at the emotions we most want to avoid: embarrassment, humiliation, abandonment, disappointment, shame, insecurity, grandiosity, and more. We will learn how to work with them skillfully. Rather than chasing validation or avoiding pain, we’ll reframe dating as a path of self-inquiry, expansion, and authenticity. With this framework, every experience, even “bad dates,” becomes material for growth, self-reclamation, and emotional liberation.\r\n\r\nBy shifting from a win/lose mindset to one of curiosity and evolution, participants will learn how to date from a place of truth in relationships—not from the shadow’s behind-the-scenes manipulation.\r\n\r\nYou’ll learn how to:\r\n\r\nRecognize and name shadow emotions and patterns that surface in your dating experiences\r\n\r\nTransform emotional triggers into insights for integration and healing\r\n\r\nReclaim your psycho-emotional space from rejection loops and idealization\r\n\r\nApproach dating as a sacred practice of awareness, embodiment, and authenticity\r\n\r\nDate others from a place of wholeness and authenticity, paving the path to better relationships\r\n\r\nFormat:\r\n\r\nEmbodied meditation + interactive talk + guided reflection exercises + group dialogue\r\n\r\nWho it’s for:\r\n\r\nThis class is for anyone who senses that dating can be more than just a search for “the one” and that it can be a profound mirror and teacher.\r\n\r\nIt’s especially for:\r\n\r\nIntellectually and spiritually curious humans who love psychological depth and meaning-making\r\n\r\nRelationship geeks and emotional explorers who want to understand their own patterns more deeply\r\n\r\nQueer, non-monogamous, kinky, or otherwise non-traditional daters seeking a growth-oriented framework that honors their complexity\r\n\r\nFree spirits who want to love and connect authentically, without giving away their power\r\n\r\nAnyone tired of repetitive loops who’s ready to use dating as a site of awakening rather than reenactment\r\n\r\nNo matter your gender, orientation, or relational style, this space invites honesty, courage, and curiosity about what dating stirs within you, and how every emotional trigger can become a doorway to greater freedom.\r\n\r\nPRESENTER:\r\n\r\nMarie Thouin, PhD is a Dating & Relationship Coach who supports and guides people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives.

We will discuss different forms of service, how to identify what you genuinely enjoy receiving, how to communicate preferences and standards clearly, and how service-oriented submissives can better understand what makes an act feel meaningful to the person receiving it. Sometimes that means completing a task in the quickest or most practical way. Sometimes it means doing it in a very odd and particular way because that is what the Dominant enjoys, values, or has asked for.\r\n\r\nIt may be easy to say that service well done is service wanted, but what does that actually mean in practice? What happens when efficiency and preference point in different directions?

Together, we’ll build skills for richer, more connected kink, play, and sexual exploration across gender-diverse experiences.\r\n\r\nThis class will explore language, disclosure, desire, conversations worth having, and the vibrant mix of identity and expression that shapes how we meet one another. We’ll examine the myths and truths we carry about gender, what we want to do with our bodies, and how to play with partners who are navigating their own unfolding paths. Because truly, every one of us is on a gender journey - so let’s get thoughtful, get embodied, and open our hearts as we rethink what gender and hot play can be.\r\n\r\nPRESENTER:\r\n\r\nLee 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.

It will be a short 2-3 block walk from there to our rope lab location.\r\n\r\n\r\nRSVP on FetLife to let friends know you're coming!\r\nA social in two parts!\r\n\r\nThe Munch: We'll start with a social munch at The Waiting Room, a coffeehouse in beautiful Mendocino. A munch is just to hang out, get to know one another, and catch up with friends.\r\n\r\n\r\nGet drinks and snacks from The Waiting Room or more substantial fare from their pizza shop The Brickery. This will be from noon to 2pm.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Rope Lab! Then, we'll move to a private local studio for our monthly Rope Lab! Bring your rope if you have any, safety shears, your curiosity, and your willingness to learn! Also bring $10 cash (or Venmo) to cover our costs for renting the space. In order to get the location for the Rope Lab, you must attend all or part of the preceding munch, so be sure to show up before the munch ends at 2pm to meet us and get the address if this is your first time.\r\nYou. Are. Welcome. Here.\r\n\r\nAll genders. All orientations. All levels of experience. Just curious about kink and want to see what other kinksters are like? You are welcome. If you'd like to meet other folks in the kink world in our beautiful coastal paradise, this is a very friendly place to do it. Spoiler: There are a lot more of us than you think!\r\n\r\n\r\nOccasionally we have folks drop in who are just visiting the area or planning to move up to our spot of the coast and want to start building community up here. That's fine, too!\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease feel free to let your kinky friends know about this event by sharing or mentioning the event.\r\nWhat to expect\r\n\r\nAt the Munch: Kinksters being people! So far over the past two years I've heard folks talk about the vanilla books they're reading, chat about their lives and relationships, talk about art and travel, make silly jokes, and plot out some truly wild ideas for BDSM scenes. This is a safe place to bring all of yourself to the table.\r\n\r\n\r\nAt the Rope Lab: This is a peer skillshare. Please note: This is NOT a formal workshop with teachers -- we're all learning together and from one another. It's okay to participate by practicing or just observing! We will start with an icebreaker exercise and consent discussions, then use our time to practice rope hands on.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile in the future we may have more formal instruction, this lab is designed for us to start collectively building what we want from an ongoing coastal Mendocino rope group. Most of us are beginners to intermediate levels of experience. You are absolutely welcome at your own level of experience, whatever it is.\r\nYour host\r\n\r\nMiriam Green (they/ them) has been in the public BDSM scene for over twenty years in the Austin, Houston, and later San Francisco scenes. They now spend time in both coastal Mendocino county and San Francisco. A long-time kink educator, venue owner, and party host, Mir owns Wicked Grounds, a company specializing in BDSM and kink education.\r\n\r\n\r\nYou'll be cohosted by several folks who have been coming to this munch for the past 1-2 years.\r\nWhat the heck is a munch?!\r\n\r\nA munch is a term kinksters use to describe a social gathering over food and drink. We hang out and get to know one another as people and friends. This is not a dating event and is not for “cruising,” – it’s to help get to know one another and build community\r\nWhat the heck is a lab?!\r\n\r\nA lab is our way of describing a space for learning by doing among your kinky peers. We practice skills hands on in an informal, consent-forward environment. Participate at your own level: trying things hands on, observing, or just hanging out because this is where your friends are!\r\nPlease note\r\n\r\nWe are kinksters, but we will be meeting in vanilla space. There is no kink cafe in Mendocino County. ;)\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease feel free to be yourself (a lot!) in our conversations at our table(s), but let's keep our behavior and dress appropriate and respectful of the family friendly space we're in. Our spot at the picnic tables will give us some privacy, and we'll have more privacy in the rope studio.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Waiting Room has a full range of coffee & tea beverages as well as fancy sodas, housemade drinks and adult beverages.

If you need an exemption, please email accessibility@fwb.events.\r\n\r\nPARKING\r\n\r\nThere are paid lots, garages, and street parking within a block of the loft.

No need to send results - we trust you. If you are feeling sick, were recently exposed to someone who is sick, or test positive, we ask that you stay home to help us keep our community safe and healthy and we will credit you for a future event. We provide face masks and hand sanitizer at the clubhouse. We run air purifiers during and between events.
