About this Event
Come join us at the beginning of the holiday season to discuss the intersection (or not!) of s*x & kink, and to socialize at our last event until at least February 2027, and our last event at Catalyst.
This event is catered to *you* - submit your discussion questions in advance in the survey!
Crafts, colouring pages, and fidgets are also available to keep your hands busy as we chat. Bring your current mess-free project or one to share!

Who is SapphK*nk for?
-Sapphic is being used as an umbrella term that includes lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and other queer folks and is inclusive of cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary, two-spirit, and other gender-diverse folks who self-identify with this community.
-Sapphk*ink welcomes everyone from newbies to prodommes and folks with 20+ years of experience, but is a space explicitly for sapphics into k*nk, and not our vanilla friends.
-Still worried you’re not sapphic or k*nky enough? Come and find out ;)
We deeply value the diverse experiences and perspectives within our community and trust attendees to self-identify authentically. This space does not align with TERF or SWERF ideologies.
