Sacred Kink In Person and Online

So, here's a tease... 2nd edition Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond will be coming out in 2016. Are you excited? I am!A really important book of this sort, in my opinion, is the resource section. It helps people who are already interested in the topic continue further down the path. Thus, I am putting this post out to see if there are any other in-person or online groups that should appear in a book *specifically* on sacred kink. All of the events mentioned here at least host a few classes on the topics (or related concepts, or cross-over classes such as tantra for folks into BDSM as an example). They are broken down into in-person groups, events and places to go, intensives and trainings, and online only groups of different sorts.Let's share! I'll be updating the page regularly as folks email me with links, send me private messages, or find other ways to reach me. I may not include everything, but the more to choose from, the better! Groups
