A Wicked Journey

Wicked Eden in Columbus, Ohio

Wicked Eden has become a key player in transforming how we explore identity in Central Ohio. Our space is a call to those who society once labeled as “wicked.” Since launching in 2008, Wicked Eden has been a sanctuary for safe, consensual exploration of personal identity, continually expanding the boundaries of what’s possible in such environments.

Founded by Alexandra Snow, Wicked Eden began as a modest dungeon but has transformed into a comprehensive facility that includes a photo/video studio and classroom, evolving into a sanctuary for community learning for creatives. In 2022, Alexandra realized a longstanding dream by purchasing a commercial building, previously a Columbus public library, solidifying a permanent home for Wicked Eden. This achievement was particularly significant given the financial and systemic hurdles that sex workers often face.

Today, Wicked Eden is moving forward with renewed vigor to foster transformative experiences. We offer a variety of activities, including creative events, discussion groups, photo/video rentals, social events, fundraisers, mentorship, themed parties, workshops, and classes, all designed to spark significant personal change.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. Operated by and for the queer community, Wicked Eden welcomes individuals of all sexualities, gender identities, and power dynamics. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, our goal is to empower and educate everyone as they explore their personal paths.

We’re committed to creating a space where all feel welcome, valued, and celebrated, no matter where they are on their journey. 

We are committed to creating an environment that is free from harassment or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, disability status, profession, gender identity/expression/presentation, sexual orientation, and religion with a zero tolerance policy for bigotry. We seek to eradicate marginalization, racism, transphobia, and harassment in our space and local community. This is sometimes a very difficult task.

We believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions about their bodies, identities, and lives without fear of judgment or punishment.

We accomplish this through supporting the decriminalization of sex work, building safe spaces for the queer community, providing education for personal exploration, gender identity and alternative lifestyles, celebrating diversity, eradicating racism and marginalization, protecting trans people, supporting healthy identity expression–and so much more! 

Wicked Eden is a place of refuge and empowerment in the Midwest. It’s a place for those who felt like they never belonged, to create and inspire and grow and heal and thrive and most importantly, BE THEMSELVES. We believe that sexuality and identity are holistic parts of being human, and so have created a safe haven where we can discuss such topics in a safe way. 

That’s why our programming is so diverse, it reflects the diversity of the people who call this place home. And it could be your home too.

Founded by Alexandra Snow, Des Mori, and Futuristic Fembot in 2023, the Autonomy Project emerged as a groundbreaking initiative driven by their shared vision of fostering empowerment, inclusivity, and social change. With a deep commitment to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, alternative lifestyles, and sex work, the founders embarked on a mission to create a space where individuals could reclaim their autonomy and thrive in an environment free from judgment and discrimination. Drawing on their collective expertise in community building, education, and advocacy, Alexandra, Des, and Futuristic Fembot established the Autonomy Project as a beacon of empowerment, offering resources, mentorship, and a platform for amplifying marginalized voices. Through their unwavering dedication, they aim to create a world where every individual can embrace their authentic selves and live life on their own terms.

Some strands of feminism believe that all pornographic material is designed to subjugate women and that all sex workers are inherently exploited by the dominant patriarchy. But other branches disagree, arguing that freedom to pursue sexual pleasure in a consensual manner is inherently empowering. Enter the Femdoms, a group of strong and dominant women who call the shots and demand that men revere them, adore them and do their bidding. Oh, and they have to pay for the privilege. Meet Goddess Alexandra Snow and her close friends Ceara Lynch, Sarah Diavola, Princess Rene, Astro Domina and Princess Meggerz. These online Dommes have built a supportive underground scene of fetish content creators, empowering each other, their clients, fans and the rest of the adult population to engage in the fight for a shame-free, consensual, and safe exploration of one’s sexuality. A WICKED EDEN follows Snow as she takes on a new protégé Raevyn Rose and teaches her the ins and outs of her new profession. This is Canadian Director Naddine Madell’s first directorial feature that showcases her unprecedented access into the inner workings of the culture of Femdom and online fetish porn creation. The film delineates the social and political obstacles these women face in building their businesses, all of it in pursuit of an authentic life full of agency and financial independence, just with way more attitude, and a more eye-catching wardrobe, than your average person.
