The Cat Rave
 

Three words: Cat. Dance. Party. We don't think any further words are necessary, but wasting the opportunity to talk about our upcoming Cat Rave event gives us paws for thought. We at the Autonomy Project take celebrating International Cat Day seriously. Because... cats. It's the purr-fect time to throw one big cat dance party. So that's what we're doing. Wear your finest cat costume (a T-shirt with your cat's face printed on it? Leopard print pants? Come dressed as an actual cat? The choice is yours!).

Win a prize in our Catwalk contest! Strut your stuff on the dance floor to our DJs spinning the filthiest house, techno, and electro known to catkind - we'll have the tunes to scratch that itch and make your tail flick. Cat meme photo booth? We'll have it! Laser pointer light show? Who doesn't love lasers and bass drops? Black light box corner? Yes! THC "Catnip" drinks to leave you feline fine? Also yes! Missing out on this one would be a cat-astrophe...

Featuring our DJs:
DJ Maneater
Brody Calix

DRESS CODE

When it comes to attire, we want to encourage comfort and expression at Wicked Eden. We want you to feel comfortable and in the mood to have an adventure! We want you to feel safe expressing yourself in whatever you desire. We encourage you to go outside your comfort zone with festive, outrageous, or fantastic clothing you never get 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. 

By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into 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.

We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences.
