What we’re about
A collective of the Bay Area Polyamory & Consensually Non-Monogamous Groups. A place for polyamorous* people to have a collected source for many poly-friendly happenings and resources in Marin, North Bay, San Francisco, Peninsula, East Bay, San Jose and Santa Cruz. Each group represented here is a separate entity. To learn about each group, please visit our ABOUT pages (menu bar on left hand side of this page). The group itself is not a dating or hookup app. If you're looking for that, there are many others to choose from. This is a place to list events of interest to polyamorous, open, RA, multiamorous, etc people. If you are unsure of what polyamory is, please spend some time here: www.lovemore.com
*This group also welcomes people who are Consensually Non-Monogamous (CNM); Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM); Relationship Anarchist (RA); Solo-polyamorous; in an Open Relationship, and more!

Monogamy? In this Economy?Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory is a book about many ways folks can choose to structure their domestic lives when living with more than two adults. Author, Laura Boyle joins us to discuss her book, based on a large survey of polyamorous households, which contains sections about raising children, moving in, finances, breaking up, chores, choosing where to live, and day-to-day concerns like how to organize rooms in a world where houses have "a primary bedroom" but you are not a couple (or a couple and children) using a space.
Laura Boyle is a polyamorous parent living in Connecticut, lovingly supported by an expansive polycule whose definitions and shape change from year to year. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory and Monogamy? In this Economy? and works as a relationship coach and educator around polyamory, relationship anarchy, and kink. You can find her as an expert voice in publications from Cosmopolitan to the Economist to Parents Magazine, or on her own pages as readyforpolyamory.com on most social media.
