Midweek Practice & Class - NOW WITH MORE PRACTICE! Most of our classes are now held in the Space's Social Area (comfy couches and chairs), so the main space is open for practice for the entire duration of the evening! We'll close the door between the areas so the class is uninterrupted and practice doesn't have to be quiet.

New MP&C Lending Library! Each week we will have books (kink, lifestyle, romance, self-help, etc) for you to check out for a few weeks just like your neighborhood library. All of the education and none of the stares from the librarians...although we can accommodate if that's your thing!

Class description: Reprising a Beyond the Love Workshop-- Susan will offer a streamlined class on "Love is the Least of Your Problems." a detailed look at several popular myths about love that lead to unhealthy relationships and or problems in our lives, that have very little to do with actual love.This class will be a lecture with some time reserved for group discussion.While Susan very much is poly-- you do not have to be. This class is about love and NOT relationship style. This is an inclusive class, that is open to anyone who wants to think and learn about love and relationships and how they relate.Susan always suggests that you bring a notebook and pens or pencils to take notes.
