PACK NIGHT PRESENTED BY DAVEY FAYE @mxdaveyfaye PACK NIGHT GATHERS
EVERY 1ST SUNDAY & 3rd Thursday from 7 to 9:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm
Event themes change on a monthly basis and recycle every six months.
(See themes below!) Unleash the inner wild in a group format! PACK
NIGHT IS AN INTENTIONALLY CREATED, recurring safer space for
manifesting your evolving primal. What does your primal sound like,
feel like how does it move can it play well with others? Using somatic
movement and vocal exercises aimed to help you tap into the beastly
beauty within, as well as emotional activators through eye contact and
improvisation, the circle will be led to fall into a pack mind,
blending the fierce (and the more sensitive) primal energies in the
room with the common goal to release and revel in our creature-selves.
Explore different animalistic embodiments, give yourself permission to
growl and howl, coo and hiss, and discover elements of your own
identity previously hidden from view. Challenge assumptions of how you
should be and unveil new ways to connect with others. Over time as our
pack grows and changes, the initiation exercises will adapt to
communal calling. Every PACK NIGHT BEGINS WITH GUIDED ACTIVITIES FOR
BODY AND MIND TO SUPPORT UNLOCKING INNER PRIMALISM AS AN INDIVIDUAL
AND AS A GROUP, and then opens the floor to freeform exploration. As
energies wind down, the evening concludes with a closing circle meant
to support integration with these powerful energies and potential
shadows, and encourages attendees to find comfort from the journey we
took as a primal family. Let yourself dive in to the deep and dark,
and bring back tools of empowerment and awareness to use in your
everyday life. All bodies, identities, and presentations are
enthusiastically welcome to attend. While the only ingress/egress of
Wicked Ground Annex is via a flight of stairs, once inside the space
PACK NIGHT IS DILIGENTLY DEDICATED TO MAKING ALL ACTIVITIES ACCESSIBLE
AND WILL WORK WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS AND COMFORTS OF INDIVIDUALS IN
ATTENDANCE. (This is not a ropes skills class nor a BDSM/critter play
presentation, but those energies and tools are welcome in the space
during guided play if that is how you are individually called. This is
a sex-positive, body-positive space, but for the sake of emotional
safety and hygiene while rolling around the floor and letting the mind
loose, all attendees must use an undergarment covering
below-belly-button genitalia at minimum. We recognize that arousal can
come up when exploring these themes and we welcome all natural
process, but attendees must commit to maintaining a PG-13 atmosphere.
Thank you for your part in preserving the intention of this space.)
APRIL 7th & 18th Discovering your Inner Primal Welcome to PACK NIGHT!
Our first stroll out of human shoes onto our wild limbs invites your
curiosity, your willing heart, and your sense of adventure to come out
and play! For first time attendees or old pack members alike, this is
a delightful opportunity to feel out the more innocent side of primal
existence, the young and eager fledgling notions, the whimsical
sweetness of primals only just discovering their power. Unlock new
identities and invite a spirit of insight through physicality, sound,
and guided narration. Followed by Pack Snack & decompression
downstairs at Wicked Grounds <3 MAY 5th & 16th Alpha Games The inner
pack struggle: who is the leader of your pack? What energies in the
room motivate the group, and who wants to fight for the seat of power?
Tonight, pack member takes on pack member in structured primal brawl.
Primals not drawn to an alpha position will also unravel how their
personality feeds the group, and how that role might feed themselves.
Trust exercises, conflict drills, and theatre games accentuate this
PACK NIGHT FUELED BY THE FIRE OF POWER STRUGGLES AND THE PRIMAL HEART.
Followed by Pack Snack & decompression downstairs at Wicked Grounds <3
JUNE 2nd & 20th The Hunt: Predator and Prey And so the hunt begins!
This PACK NIGHT UPS THE ANTE WITH GROUP EXERCISES DESIGNED TO MANIFEST
PACK MIND, and stimulate the visceral drive to consume. Practicing
hunting games with your compatriots will provide opportunities for
primals to bond as a group and test out leadership structures, as well
as a space for smaller or inquisitive primals to explore vulnerability
and the thrill of pursuit. Additionally & optionally, after class we
will roam the streets and prowl as a hungry pack to chomp down into a
juicy hunk of meat (+vegetarian options) and conclude our hunt for
hedonistic pleasure with full, happy bellies! Followed by Pack Meal at
a nearby SoMa restaurant! JULY 7th & 18th Primal Frenzy: Anger and
Ecstasy Unleash the beast within and relish in your own primordial
power. This time, PACK NIGHT TAKES IT PERSONAL, and invites you to let
out some of you inner demons and impassioned chaos in a conscious
space with controlled intent. Explorations of physical vs
psychological size, how both rapture and rage manifest in complicated
beings, and reflection on how our primal power informs our human
emotions will round out this hot bed of potent play and self
discovery. Followed by Pack Snack & decompression downstairs at Wicked
Grounds <3 AUGUST 4th & 15th The Wounded Primal: Grief and Healing
Pain and pleasure both play important parts in the worlds of lust and
power. While previous PACK NIGHT ITERATIONS HAVE EXPLORED MANY FORMS
OF FEELING ALIVE AND ALIGHT, this class will tune into somatic
manifestation of primal suffering and sorrow, including group
exercises designed to consensually challenge your individual and
communal sense of safety. After holding space for our traumas and our
loss, we will shift into compassionate work on finding softness and
warmth in our rawest forms, and harnessing love of self along with
love of chosen kin and fellow primal-kind. Followed by Pack Snack &
decompression downstairs at Wicked Grounds <3 SEPTEMBER 1st & 19th
Celebrating the Pack Time to roar out in primal glory! Whether you've
made it to every other PACK NIGHT EVENT OR THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME
SYNCING INTO THE PACK MIMD, we invite you to revel in your rawest form
and find the flow that fits your instincts in this positively primal
play space. Somatic exercises continue to inform your animalistic
explorations, while group drills stimulate fantasy and allow you to
feel out your freest form. Come ready to join in the jubilation, and
inspired to continue your primal journey! Followed by Pack Meal at
nearby SoMa restaurant & possible NIGHTLIFE/dancing! Please note: Pack

Davey Faye is an enthusiastic erotic artist, educating exhibitionist,
and community oriented woo-tastic playslut full of service and snark.
They identify as an enigmatic genderfuck beastie and polyamorous
pansexual sadomasochist, with an appetite for primalism,
scarification, and a particular love of porcupine quills. Davey
possesses a background in classical literature, mythology, and
theatre, and they are deeply interested in the power of storytelling
through kink. In performance, they strive to examine themes of gender,
vulnerability, shadow dancing, perseverance over trauma, and erotic
empowerment. Reviewed as both a shamanic healer and sexual savant, you
can find this bitch of a switch regularly presenting at venues in the
SF Bay Area and sporadic national conventions. They are a managing
partner of Bondage-A-Go-Go, a regular performer at Twisted Windows and
Opel Productions events, a founding facilitator of Oakland Rope

are also known to relish collaborative opportunities with other
presenters and artists. For over a decade, Davey has danced,
surrendered, and battled with words, paint, rope, blades, electricity
and fire both privately and publicly, and continues to do so while
rising into roles of dissociative advocacy and disability awareness.
