Building sovereign spaces where women support women—unapologetically.
We're creating a network of women who believe in collective strength, radical vulnerability, and showing up for each other.Starting with Sapphic Sanctuary- events and spaces for queer women to connect, learn, create, and thrive—we're building the infrastructure we deserve, by us and for us.
Our philosophy: Do no harm. Take no shit. Make it happen.
Girlies, we deserve better than this
Right now, queer women have nowhere to go. There was a time where there were over 200 lesbian bars in the United States, and that's dwindled down to only 36 left in the entire country.Not to mention, a lot of us aren't even into the nightlife scene; but where else would you go to meet people?We're done waiting for spaces that were never built for us.Sapphic Sanctuary is our answer: recurring events, creative workshops, coworking, and eventually permanent physical spaces where sapphic women and non-binary folks can connect in and beyond the bar scene. Paint nights, skill-building classes, coworking sessions, monthly gatherings—wherever we show up becomes sacred ground.
This is phase one of Sapphics And Sisters. We start here, with our community. Then we expand.
We're brand new and focused on building up our connections and holding our first event within the next few weeks!

Building a Network of Women Supporting Women
Sapphic Sanctuary is where we start—creating real infrastructure specifically for queer women and non-binary sapphics, because we've been underserved and overlooked for too long. Safe spaces to connect, learn, work, and exist without performance or apology.But Sapphics And Sisters is bigger than one community.Our ultimate vision is a nationwide network of women—queer, straight, trans, cis, all of us—who believe in collective thriving over individual competition. Women who show up for each other professionally, personally, and politically. Women who understand that when one of us wins, we all do.The path forward:1. Build Sapphic Sanctuary → Prove the model with recurring events and eventually permanent physical spaces for queer women in underserved regions
2. Expand the network → Support other women-led ventures, create new partnership opportunities, build revenue-sharing models where we all profit together
3. Shift the paradigm → From "alternative spaces" to sovereign territory. From asking permission to building what's ours.We're not rebelling against male-dominated spaces. We're building our own.If you believe in a world where women support women—where vulnerability is strength, boldness is celebrated, and we rise together—you're already part of this movement.
