When: Third Thursday of the month from 2:00pm – 3:30pm - Poly Discussion Group - Via ZoomLink visible for attendees
**This group meets virtually on Zoom for accessibility. For added security we ask that community members email us at: info@thedccenter.org , and we will provide you with the Zoom link to join the meeting.**
Every third Thursday of the month, we’re coming together in this inclusive, welcoming, virtual safer space to talk all things polyamorous. The rapturous, the confused, the pure YIKES, we want to hear them all.
Polyamory is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. This group is designed to be a forum for people at all different stages to discuss polyamory and other consensual non-monogamous relationships.
After a quick review of our group agreements and a round of introductions, we’ll open the floor for discussion. You can ask your burning newbie questions, get advice on a thorny situation, share your heartwarming or heartbreaking stories, ask for resources, or get clear on the new terms the kids are using these days. Not sure what to talk about? We’ll have chat prompts to prime the conversational pump. This is your space for community, connection, and support.
This meeting is a partnership between the Center and The Pincus Center for Inclusive Treatment & Education, a queer/trans-centric mental health wellness practice that specializes in nonmonogamy, kink, body affirmation, and neurodiversity. Your host is Rebecca Rose Vassy, a sex and relationship coach/educator with The Pincus Center who has been part of the queer and nonmonogamous communities for nearly three decades.
