When the doors of Wicked Eden swung open in June, it marked the beginning of an ambitious journey. Our initial goal was clear-cut: create captivating spaces and host monthly events to support the cost of our extensive renovations. However, as the months unfolded, our vision began to transform, mirroring the rich diversity of our growing community.
We quickly realized that Wicked Eden was becoming a sanctuary for a much broader spectrum: LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, trans individuals, those in alternative relationships (non-monogamy, and beyond). Our community was blossoming into a vibrant mosaic, demanding a broader focus.
Our ethos at the Autonomy Project has always been about more than just attendance. We envision a community that is not only about receiving but also about giving - a place where mutual contribution and transformative experiences are the norm. We want to foster an environment that inspires creativity, growth, and collective building.
In line with this renewed vision, starting in 2024, we're excited to introduce a diverse array of educational opportunities. These will range from classes and workshops focusing on personal health, wellness, skill-building, psychology, and communication. Our goal is to host at least one class and one discussion group each month, providing our community with valuable learning experiences.
Social events have also emerged as a vital aspect of community building. After the tremendous success of our last Tavern Night, we're eager to incorporate more of these social gatherings into our schedule. It's here we've witnessed the formation of beautiful, lasting friendships - a dynamic we didn't often see at other parties.
Perhaps most excitingly, we're opening up the floor for our members to help shape our event calendar. This is your call to bring your ideas, passion, and skills to the forefront. We're particularly keen on expanding our volunteer team in planning, social media, and site administration. As a small team with big dreams, we aim to triple our volunteer base by next year!
If you have ideas, skills, and time to contribute, we welcome you to reach out. Together, let’s craft events and experiences that reflect the dynamic spirit of our community.
Wicked Eden's journey is an ongoing story of growth and adaptation. As we evolve, we stay true to our core mission: to build a community that gives as much as it receives, a community that grows, creates, and thrives together.
