Compassion & community at the intersection of polyamory + parentingA free, virtual, twice monthly discussion & support group for people raising children in polyamorous/ENM relationships to build community, ask questions, and get support with the unique challenges of parenting and non-monogamy.
Navigating polyamory while raising children brings unique challenges that monogamous parents and child-free polyamorous folks don’t experience. This is a community that understands and supports the fullness of our experiences. We laugh, we cry, we share wisdom and compassion, we crack jokes about dating our google calendars, and we solve the real challenges and struggles our families face.

In celebration of the Week of Visibility for Non-monogamy, learn from the research on relationship satisfaction in polyamory and CNM and gain insight to make your relationship more joyful. The dynamic duo of Tamara Pincus, LICSW and Dr. Eli Sheff bring research and lived experience together to chart the ways in which CNM relationships fall on hard times and how to weather the challenges while making the most of the good times.

Starting From Honest: A Conversation for the Beginning of Non-Monogamy hosted by Playing with Fire

Join Joli and Ken from Playing with Fire for an honest conversation about what the beginning of this path actually looks like. No platitudes or teaching from a pedestal, just real talk about how to figure out what you need for your unique exploration of expansivity.

Mastering Metamour Relationships in Non-Monogamy
July 12, 2PM - 4PM Eastern
Leanne @polyphiliablog + Lola @nonmonogamyhelp share tips on how to relate with your partner's partner and navigate the dynamic healthily
Our mononormative society teaches us that a partner having another partner is automatically a threat to your relationship security - but in non-monogamy, we learn to see things differently when multiple loves are possible. But what do you do when meeting your partner's partner for the first time - and do you even want to? What is your responsibility to handle in the dynamic, and what jobs are better left to the hinge (the person in the middle)? How do you go from feeling competitive with your love's love(s), to collaborative and maybe even compersive?
If the above questions resonate, this workshop is for you.
