Looking to further your acquaintance with polyamory and the Portland-area folks who practice it? We're hoping to help.

If you are thinking about joining this group please do so because you want to be an ACTIVE member.  We understand that not every one can make every meetup but we want active participation.  (Active membership means we would like to see your face at a meetup at least once every other month.)   

We meet every fouth Friday at a pub from 7-9. Occasionally we will have other meetings, but if you know that this does not fit with your schedule - please consider how you will be an active member before joining the group.

If you do not participate (this could be as simple as logging into the group page and sparking discussion) for three months we will most likely remove you from the group and ask that you rejoin when you are able to actively participate.

When you join the group please be prepared to answer the following questions on your profile page. This page is only viewable to members of this group;

Introduction

How would you define the type of relationship model that you seek?

Are you currently in this type of relationship?

What do you hope to get out of the group? Have you ever participated in a group like this one? 

Have you done any reading in this area? Any strong favorites?

What are some questions you would like this group to discuss?

Profiles that are not filled out will not be admitted to the group. A photo is not necessary but we do want to try and get to know each other a bit.

If you are new to polyamory and have general questions remember that we value the wisdom and involvement of our members of all ages and varying levels of experience, but at least try to do a bit of reading first. 

Here are a few places that will get you started:
