“Polyamory” -- What does that mean? How does it work? We'll discuss the basics, including: negotiating with current and potential partner(s), emotional and sexual safety, jealousy, time management, and kids. In this information-packed evening, workshop facilitators Dawn and Akien will share stories, lead simple exercises, and help you figure out if polyamory is right for you, and how to take the first steps along your path.

They have spoken about polyamory on television in the US and internationally. They are Kink-aware, sensitive to issues of gender and sexual orientation, and proponents of all forms of loving relationship. In his current work, Akien is exploring happiness as something we develop within ourselves and bring to our relationships, our work, and our lives. Dawn is a life catalyst and relationship facilitator for "out of the box" relationships (http://www.facebook.com/LoveOTB ). She works in person in the SF Bay Area, as well as by phone or Skype.
