September 6th, 2025 7:00pm - 12:00am ∙ Columbus, OH

This members-only night is your invitation to explore pleasure, power, and play in a space built on consent, curiosity, and mutual respect. Whether you’re a seasoned player or stepping into the scene for the first time, this event is designed to meet you where you are—and leave you feeling celebrated for who you are.

There’s a famous saying that goes “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. There’s also a slightly less famous saying that goes “When in Ohio, do as the Romans did in 200 BC with specific regard to the festival of Greco-Roman Gods of freedom and ecstasy”. Two great sayings. It’s not our place to say which is better, but it is our place to invite you to our first-ever Bacchanalia play party!

Bacchanalia is a special, spicy, sultry celebration of divine debauchery. A themed Autonomy Project play party where you’re encouraged to come dressed as the Gods and Goddesses of your choosing, whether it’s a wine-soaked Dionysus, a feisty Aphrodite, a chaos-sowing Loki, a nymph, a siren, or a God(dess) entirely of your own creation. Think tasty togas, flowing fabric, sheer fabric, minimal fabric, gold accents, dramatic eye make-up… You get the picture. We can’t wait to see you in all your celestial glory on September 6th. Save the deity!

This is a 21+ members-only event.

New to AP? We’d love to welcome you—but you’ll need to submit your membership application at least 48 hours in advance to ensure it gets approved before the event.

DRESS CODE

When it comes to attire, anything goes at Wicked Eden, we want you to feel comfortable and in the mood to have an adventure! Wicked Eden is a place where you can wear as much or as little as you desire. We want you to always feel comfortable expressing yourself in whatever ways you desire. We encourage you to go outside your comfort zone with festive, outrageous, or amazing clothing that you never get a chance to wear anywhere else. 

VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system and a tight knit center of empowerment. Once you have obtained membership as above, please check out the volunteering section of The Autonomy Project website.

By volunteering with us you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives, but you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes, and most importantly, collaborative input in what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you’re part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.

HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES

Our community thrives in a space where countless delightful interactions could happen, but none are obligated to occur. Think of it as “high possibility, low expectations.” Outside of our general requirements of respect, you are under no obligation to interact with anyone in any particular way. This makes our space ideal for new faces and seasoned community members alike.

HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES

Our events aren’t the product of one person hosting a party for pay; they’re the result of a community coming together and creating something new. Everyone who attends is expected to co-create: money, time, energy, enthusiasm, work, intention, example, concern and/or awareness. Have ideas, games, art, music to share? Want to bring them to life with us?

A FOUNDATION OF TRUST

Our gatherings are magical because of trust. We fiercely protect each member’s privacy, encourage honest risk communication, and take diligent care of our shared environments. It’s our collective respect and integrity that fortify this safe space.

CLEAR AND PRESENT CONSENT

Upholding consent goes beyond preventing harm; it’s about affirming everyone’s freedom to fully and joyfully agree to their interactions. It’s through this affirmation that our spaces thrive with genuine, unreserved participation.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

We’re committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone’s identity or preferences.

Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.

PLEASE NOTE:

No refunds will be given on ticket purchases. Address is provided to confirmed ticket holders after purchase. Wicked Eden is located on the south side of Columbus, approximately 10 minutes from downtown, and is one block away from a COTA bus stop.
