SF's first and only kink cafe in the heart of the historical leather district at 8th &amp; Folsom. 

Our mission? To be your home for kink, education, and community. 

We offer a wide variety of classes, demos, and munches as well as a wide range of BDSM books and handcrafted gear. 

Wicked Grounds Annex is the dedicated workshop and event space for Wicked Grounds, San Francisco's home of the kinky, queer revolution. 

All events are 18+. 

**As Pack Night relies heavily on nonverbal communication and facial expressions, this event will be mask optional for its duration. Proof of FULL COVID-19 vaccination, including booster if eligible, will be required to participate in the event. We also highly recommend a negative test prior to attending, but logistically cannot require them. Please keep your masks on during arrival; there will be a designated time to remove them.**Pack Night is a group exploration of the primal side that exists in the hidden recesses of all of our brains. This intentionally created safer space allows for nonverbal primal play, from cuddle puddles in the calm corner to the rough body play of 'alpha' battles. Give yourself permission to growl, coo, hiss, or squawk, and see how your own primal shines through! Challenge your perception of yourself and unveil new ways to connect with your primal side and the community of the Pack.Every pack night begins with guided activities to help tap into that elusive primal headspace and evolves into an open floor for free-form primal exploration in a sex positive but not sex active space. As energies wind down, the evening concludes with a closing circle to bring us back to humanity, and reintegrate our primal selves back into everyday life. While fetishwear is always acceptable, romping around on the mats with your packmates may not be the most gentle environment for your finest leather, ears, or tails!**HOSTED BY**Aya (they/them) is an anxious agender asexual who regularly "helpers" their wat into leading events. Their area of "expertise" revolves primlarily around nonsexual kink, including the Ace Space and Prime Time munches. They have been behind the scenes at many kink events since moving to the bay area in 2018, immediately found their place in the pack, and hope to create a space where others can do the same. Aya can be reached at AnxiousAce on FetLife, but like most wild animals, responds best to treats and despises being observed. TICKETING:https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/8b03635b76Tickets: $15 - $35 in advance, or $20 - $40 at the door.

How to Connect on Bloom

Wicked Grounds Annex

Wicked Grounds

Lillian Bastet, also known as Ms. Tress, is a Pro Domme and artist weaving her creativity from the dungeon into the art studio. Her latest visual art series, titled “Impacts,” combines her love of movement and flogging to create visual abstract paintings. Using a flogger in lieu of a paint brush, the paint gets thrown across the canvas through expressive gestures of colors and textures. These marks leave their impression and invite the onlooker to take notice of what senses might be invoked upon viewing. The process of making each piece is an experiment that entails both planning and precision along with the freedom of chance. With this, every painting becomes an original, unique embodiment of what it looks like to give, receive, and create.Join the artist on her first exhibition of “Impacts” on Wednesday June 1st, 2022. An open reception will be held 6-10pm.For more information:please visit <a href="http://www.ms-tress.com/">www.Ms-tress.com</a>Follow on:Instagram: @yesms.tressTwitter: @MsLillianBastetTiktok: @yesms.tress
