Course Description: 

The Polyamorous Puzzle: Looking at Your Relationship Desires 

Are you open? 
How open? 
How open do you want to be?

When we’re given permission to change the structure of our intimate relationship(s); it can feel like a great, wide, and slightly overwhelming vortex has just opened up in front of us. 

Ryan will use his years of personal experience witnessing the infinite variety of open relationships to put together a framework for you to be able to define the relationship that is going to work just right for you!

The workshop will highlight the nuances of polyamory (no, this is not swinging), the relationship options, the myths, and the expectations (communication, transparency and trust are paramount).

We will address how to practice ethical non-monogamy and will discuss the thorny issues of jealous and insecurity. 

Topics Include: 

• 101 definitions of “what is polyamory?” 
• The poly framework and hierarchy 
• Poly relationships and developing emotional intelligence 
• The Poly Puzzle -- is it something you want to put together?
