Grief and Kink

with pangressive

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

10/19 6:30 pm Pacific

Learn and share about the human process of grief as it intersects kink. pangressive does grief and other counseling professionally, and facilitates a grief support group every fall for a major Bay Area health organization.

Gain reassurance and learn about common emotional responses, secondary losses, tips on coping with grief, tips on being with a loved one or friend who is grieving, the power of writing, and the power of ritual and tradition, as we practice these as kinksters. Grief is a normal part of the human journey, and it has its place in our kink lives too.

This class will be helpful to anyone who wants strategies about handling grief, whether that's from losing a loved one, a relationship, or any other meaningful loss.

PRESENTER:

pangressive (he/they), a bottom-leaning switch, is the host of Current Events, the Bay Area's electro munch. They are also the host of BABKA (Bay Area Bi/Pan Kinky Alliance) and co-host of P6 (Partially Prenegotiated Pansexual Prison Play Party), a private group that produces group CNC/free use scenes. pangressive has been in the kink scene since 2001, when he walked into Seattle's storied former dungeon club The Wet Spot and said he wanted to get beaten up. They have played in the Seattle, Boston/New England, and Bay Area scenes, with some experience in the D.C. scene as well. His scene experience includes both pansexual and gay male spaces. pangressive enjoys tight bondage of all kinds, impact, clips and clamps, hot wax, and occasional sexual content in scenes in addition to electro.
