The next meeting will be on April 13th, from 2:30pm-5pm.

The monthly peer support group provides space for non-monogamous people to talk about their relationship experiences and challenges. People practicing all forms of non-monogamy are encouraged to attend, whether you’re new to it or you’ve been practicing for many years.

Come and receive support, constructive feedback, understanding, and inspiration from other people who may be able to relate to what you’re going through and offer new insights. Receiving feedback is completely optional, as well as sharing at all. You are welcome to come just to listen and be among other non-monogamous people.

***Note*** The facilitators strive to make this a safer space for marginalized people by challenging the ways systems of oppression might show up in the space, like racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, anti-immigrant sentiments, etc.

We’re capping the group attendance at 10 people, so that it is a small group and people have enough time to fully share and be heard.

YOU MUST REGISTER in order to come! Once you register and pay, you will automatically be on the attendance list, so don’t expect a confirmation email. Register by filling out this form.

There is a sliding scale fee of $10-$40, which you can pay when you register. Please choose the rate that works best with your budget. We have a limited amount of financial assistance available each month, so if you cannot afford the lowest rate let us know in the registration form and we will be in touch regarding the availability of that assistance for the month.

**Please only register for yourself. If you are hoping to bring someone with you please have them complete the registration form separately

Agreements for the Space

Take Care of Yourself: If you have bodily or emotional needs that are keeping you from being fully involved, please take care of them at any time and for any reason. You don’t need permission from anyone. Ask for help if you need support to meet your needs.

Take COVID Precautions: To make this space accessible to chronically ill, immuno-compromised, and other COVID-conscious people, you are expected to wear an N95 or KN95 mask throughout the entire event, without lifting it to eat or drink in the meeting space. You can drink in the hallway of the building, outside of the Radical Wellbeing Center waiting room. Masks will also be provided at the event.

Share the Mic: Try to be mindful of how long you speak for. If you have already spoken up a lot, please share the space by stepping back and giving others a chance to speak. If you are monologuing for too long, the facilitators may interrupt you to ask you to pass the mic.

Everyone is a Teacher and a Learner: As a result of each of our unique perspectives and set of life experiences we all have valuable things to teach one another. Also, no matter how long we have been practicing non monogamy or how much we have done the work of educating ourselves on related topics, we all still have new things we can learn and ways in which we can grow. Please come to this group prepared to share your wisdom as well as with an openness to consider the wisdom of others with humility.

Confidentiality: Please keep other people’s personal information private. You can talk about the ideas you heard here, but don’t share identifying information about participants and their personal stories outside of this group.

Create an Anti-Oppressive Space: Challenge systems of oppression and the ways they show up in this space, such as racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, anti-immigrant sentiments, etc. Ask questions if you don’t know how to do this in a particular situation.

Expect Difference: We all have different values, desires, politics, and ways of relating. These differences are opportunities to learn about each other, talk about disagreements, examine our own perspective, and practice personal boundaries.
