Decenter Love: Rewrite the Rules of Relationships
Are you tired of society acting like romantic partnerships are the only path to happiness? Do you crave deeper friendships, chosen family, or just more freedom to define connection on your own terms?
Join us for the Decentering Romantic Relationships—a space to explore life beyond the romance script.
✨ What We’ll Do:
*Question amatonormativity (the assumption that romantic love is the ultimate goal)
*Celebrate platonic & community love as equally meaningful
*Share strategies for resisting societal pressure around dating & marriage
*Build connections with people reimagining relationships outside the default
Because life is too big to shrink into a rom-com narrative. Let’s design something wilder, freer, and more authentic—together.
Does any these points resonate with you?
*Rejecting Hierarchy – Not viewing romantic relationships as inherently more valuable than other relationships (e.g., platonic, queerplatonic, or communal bonds).
*Self-Sufficiency – Cultivating happiness, validation, and purpose independently of a romantic partner.
*Expanding Relationship Models – Recognizing and embracing diverse forms of intimacy and commitment beyond monogamous or traditional romantic structures.
*Challenging Amatonormativity – Questioning societal pressures that equate romantic love with success, maturity, or completeness.
*Intentional Living – Making conscious choices about how much space romantic relationships occupy in one’s life rather than defaulting to societal expectations.
Why People Might Want To Decenter Romantic Relationships:
*To avoid over-reliance on a partner for emotional needs.
*To create more balanced, fulfilling social ecosystems.
*To resist oppressive norms
Let's talk about it with other likeminded people!
