What is the Sober Events Initiative?

The Sober Events Initiative is a growing movement to create accessible, alcohol-free events that center joy, community, and inclusion — especially for those in recovery, sober living, or facing financial barriers. Led by event creator and host Adam McLaughlin, this initiative is part of the larger MyND Life project to create welcoming and inclusive events in Toronto. Thanks to monthly Patreon support, no one is turned away for lack of funds — and supporters get to play an active role in co-creating these meaningful experiences.

💡 How It Works

Each month, funds from Patreon and other supporters help:

✅ Sponsor free or reduced-cost entry to events for those in need
✅ Keep all MyND Life events either free or pay-what-you-can
✅ Cover costs for venue rentals, games, sound equipment, and accessibility tools
✅ Create safer, affirming spaces for folks who feel excluded from typical nightlife or social venues

🎟️ Who It's For

This initiative is for anyone who:

Is in recovery or sober living
Feels uncomfortable or unwelcome in traditional nightlife
Wants to enjoy and support community spaces without the pressure to drink
Believes joy, play, and connection should be available to all

If you're looking to attend but cost is a barrier, you can request a sponsored ticket with no questions asked. We trust you. Contact us here or reach out to Adam directly.

💖 What Patreon Supporters Get

Your monthly support isn’t just generous — it’s game-changing. But it also comes with some perks:

🎯 Why It Matters

Sober and recovery-friendly events are still far too rare — especially ones that are:

Genuinely fun
Financially accessible
Centered on inclusion and community care

The Sober Events Initiative was created to fill that gap — not with shame or rules, but with laughter, games, music, and genuine connection. It's about holding the door open for joy — again and again.

🛠️ Want to Help?

Even if Patreon’s not for you, you can still support by:

Sharing events and links with friends or on social media
Volunteering at a future event
Donating a ticket for someone in need
Spreading the word about our mission

Together, we can build a better kind of nightlife — one where everyone gets to belong.
