Bay Area Polyamory Collective

**RSVP's do not reflect actual attendance - events are listed on multiple calendars

HOSTED BY: Bill

Contact for questions and location: WABaldwin@aol.com

A group of people in the San Jose area have formed a monthly discussion and support group around polyfidelity, polyaffection, nonmonogamy, and related issues. We promote responsible, truthful, loving, respectful relationships. If you share these interests and would like to attend our meetings, feel free to contact us. POLICY ON NEW PEOPLE: People visiting for the first time should contact Bill at WABaldwin@aol.com. Please do this even if you have friends already attending our meetings. All new people must check in with us before attending. We want you to understand that "poly" is different than "swinging"; and that our meetings are discussions, not sex parties. We also want you to respect our hosts by letting us know who will be visiting their home. Thanks.

Information copied from the March 2019 event listing:

This is an (ir)regularly scheduled meetup for non-monogamous folks of all stripes in the Sacramento area, from long-timers to those newly interested in exploring more. Singles, couples, polycules, triads, hierarchists, relationship anarchists, kinksters, non-kinksters, queer, straight, of any gender... are welcome. (Did I miss anyone? If you're practicing or interested in some form of non-monogamy this is the right place.)

This is an informal space to mingle, make new friends, and catch up with old ones. We ask that you respect others' pronouns, boundaries, and relationship choices, and practice affirmative consent. Ask before initiating physical contact like a hug, and feel empowered to respond, "no thank you"!

Please support our lovely venue, New Helvetia, by buying a drink, alcoholic or otherwise. They do not serve food but you are welcome to bring in your own and there are several take-out places nearby.

This event is cross-posted to the Sacramento Polyamory Facebook group, so there will be more attendees than what shows up in the RSVP here. Don't worry, you won't be alone. :p

New Day And Time: Thursday Evening 5:30 PM PDT
This gathering is designed for adults to get together and talk about our personal experiences in the poly lifestyle, create community together, and get to know each other through a format of sharing/response. We are inclusive of all relationship styles and experience levels, gender, sexual orientation, spirituality, size, color, age, etc - this is a very warm and welcoming group for all. Bring your questions, quandaries, insights, and ideas. Most of all, bring your desire to share ideas in a mutually beneficial and respectful way.
To cultivate a container of safety we will be locking the zoom meeting at 6:40 and no one will be admitted after that.
