Why not?Why “Terror in the Woods”?
Because we are not safe—and yet, we dance.
Because we are hunted, hated, erased—and still, we create.
Because in a world that tries to violently crush trans joy and queer love,
we build sanctuaries in the shadows and we make noise.Terror in the Woods is my offering. My rebellion. My altar to everything I wish I had when I was younger—a place where genderfuckery, sapphic love, and raw queer power aren't just accepted at face value, they're fucking worshipped.This is for the ones who’ve never felt seen in glossy Pride parades or polished nightclubs, in tenderqueer spaces who wish it went one deeper.This is for the therian babes, the ravers in goth ritual garb, the satanic lesbians, the doggirls, the werewolves, the liminal creatures between genders and dimensions.
This is for the t4t love stories, the forest witches, the autistic scene b!tches, the invisible, the ignored, uninvited and the unafraid.I wanted to make something ungovernable—a space not owned by brands or institutions. No cops. No permissions. No palatability. Just raw, ecstatic self-expression under moonlight, among trees, where we can howl without apology.It’s also about remembering.
Remembering the trans femmes and dykes who built the underground.
Remembering the power of ritual and gathering, of screaming into basslines and baptizing ourselves in sweat and dirt.
Remembering that our love, our rage, and our bodies are sacred.So I’m putting up my own stage. I’m curating my own lineup. I’m throwing the kind of party I’ve always wanted to go to—where the forest is alive, the music is dark, and everyone around you is a little terrifying in the best way.This is more than an underground rave. It’s a happening. A summoning
A celebration of everything we were told to hideThis is for us.
This is a sacred space. Treat it like one.
This is a feral space. Respect that too.
We’re here to protect each other, not control each other.
🔥No Cishets Unless Invited🔥
Sorry not sorry. This is a trans-centered event. Allies may attend if invited by a queer person and are actively contributing to the safety, joy, and energy of the space. If you’re unsure—don’t come. This isn’t your playground.🖤 No Cops. No Fascists. No TERFs. No Bootlickers. No "Debaters." 🖤
Your politics matter. We will not argue about our humanity. This space is anti-authoritarian, anti-racist, and radically queer. If you don’t vibe with that—stay home.🐺 Consent Is Law.🐺
No touching, no unsolicited photos, no recording without explicit verbal consent. Flirting must be respectful and aware. No means no. "Maybe" also means no.
Respect people's physical space and neurodivergent boundaries.🩸 Protect the Forest.🩸
Leave no trace. Pack it in, pack it out. Don’t fuck with wildlife. Don’t light fires you aren't planning on maintaining/extinguishing. Keep offerings biodegradable.
We are guests here—act accordingly.🕯 Come As You Are. Come As You Aren’t. 🕯
All genders, all presentations, all body types, all neurotypes welcome.
This is a space for the weird and the wonderful. Bring your rituals, your dark ripped up clothes, your glam, your grime, your glitter, your shadows.❤️🔥 No Spiritual Gatekeeping.❤️🔥
This event is witchy, satanic, therian, fae-touched, haunted, and holy in the eyes of those who practice. All paths of magic are welcome—as long as they don’t infringe on others' autonomy or safety. Don’t hex without consent.💊 Drugs + Booze = Be Smart, Not Stupid💊
I can not and will not try to police your choices, but we will kick you out if you become a danger to yourself or others. Designate a sober buddy. Bring water. Practice harm reduction.

🕯️ Is this legal?🕯️
It’s a renegade. You’re here because you know better than to ask.📍 Where is it?📍
The exact forest location will be shared privately with confirmed attendees closer to the date. I don’t post public coordinates for obvious reasons🎪 Can I camp?🎪
You can—but camp at your own risk.
This is not a camping event. There are no "official" camp zones, no security, no infrastructure. If you plan to sleep in the woods, come prepared. That means a sleeping bag, layers, food, water, a flashlight, and a plan. While mutual aid is a huge part of this, please try and be self sufficient.💧 Is there water / food / bathrooms? 💧
I will try and ensure that the site has adequate resources, but again- Please bring your own everything.
Treat it like a spell: what you bring in, you must carry out. That includes trash, energy, and intentions. There may be offerings of snacks and water from the community, but don't count on it.🎧 Can I play a set / perform / vend? 🎧
Sure- Just keep in mind that it may be a bit difficult- I prioritize trans, gender-nonconforming, and T4T artists first. If you’re down to contribute to the vibe, email through the site, OR Join the Chat🧿 What should I bring? 🧿
Water, Snacks, Flashlight / headlamp, Bug spray, Layers, A cup for drinks / ritual offerings, First aid stuff, Charged phone + offline map, An open mind and respectful presence🐺 Can I bring my dog / animal companion?🐺
Only if they’re calm, quiet, and forest-safe. No leashless chaos beasts or yappy little guys in rave goggles who can get hurt. (You, however, can be the chaos beast. That’s encouraged.)🔊 Will it be loud? 🔊
Yes. Bring earplugs if you’re sensitive. A finite amount of earplugs will be provided.🌈 Do I have to be goth? 🌈
No. But goths get extra sparkle points. The vibe is “trans-dimensional cryptid attending a coven rave in a haunted glade.” Interpret as you will.Still got questions?
Join the ChatCome correct. Come prepared. Come cursed.
Thank you for being part of this ritual.
