Events

You've spent countless hours helping build this community. Now it's our turn to celebrate you.

Lavender Library is our queer book club for people who enjoy reading and sitting with what a story brings up afterward. For July, we’re discussing “Bookclub or Blockbusters?” - book to movie adaptations! The good, the bad, and the ugly.

A monthly support and skill-sharing circle for current and former sex workers—designed to hold space for rest, real talk, resources, and solidarity. Whether you're full-service, content-based, or anywhere in between, this space is for you. Each session includes an optional topic, open discussion, and shared resource time. Whether you’re new, experienced, active, or retired, you are welcome here.

Exploratorium is a members-only play party built around discovery, featuring multiple themed demo and exploration stations throughout the venue. Rather than centering on a single style of play, guests are invited to wander, observe, ask questions, and, where appropriate, participate in a variety of hands-on experiences led by knowledgeable community members.

While "anal stretching" sounds like an advanced concept, it's surprisingly relevant to anyone putting things up there! The rings of muscle around the bum can stretch and tear, whether you're sliding in your lover's human-sized shaft or want to go big with a dildo straight out of a minotaur BookTok recommendation. When the risks of doing this wrong include anal fissures and infections, we wanna do this right! (This is especially important for anyone wanting to have anal intercourse for the first time!)

It's an Autonomy Project Ice Cream Meetup!
Mark your calendars for Monday, August 3 from 4–7 PM and join us at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at 3998 Gramercy St (Easton Location.)

Having a partner isn't a prerequisite of being kinky, but it can certainly feel that way when you read all of the advice online. Join us for an entire presentation focused on you with no one else required!

What has six legs, two backs, one seat and one fine ass? You, at our upcoming Chair Dance Basics class! Find Your Flow with this sensual and occasionally silly form of dance (the ratio of sexiness to silliness can be adjusted to suit your mood).

Games! Games! Games! Additionally... games! If you want to play it, we (probably) have it. Board games, card games, Dungeons & Dragons...you know the drill. Bring your adventuring party or come as a solo adventurer. Dress up or dress down. Everyone is welcome!

August's Art, Paint & Create Night is nearly upon us! We thought you might like to know. Whatever art project you're working on, whatever you're painting, making, sculpting, sketching, sewing, or otherwise creating, bring it on down to Wicked Eden for the Autonomy Project's Art, Paint & Create evening and get ready for your (paint)brush with greatness. Or your happy little accidents... We won't judge. We can't wait to see you and your works (in progress) of art.

Things are heating up.

Lavender Library is back - and for April, we’re talking about the "Books You Love to Hate"

When you first jump into the world of kink, it can kinda seem like spending $300 on gear is a prerequisite before you even get to play. While you're free to do that if you want, there are lots of ways you can "pervert" standard household objects to fulfill your creative goals.
 
Join us as we give you all the tips and inspiration you need to view everything in your household in a brand new light. We'll talk about cheap ways to fulfill some of the most common interests while simultaneously talking about the downsides and how to mitigate some of the risks. As an added benefit, when your gear just looks like household objects, you don't have to get out the toybox to play at a moment's notice!
