June 28, 2012, Victoria Poly 101 monthly discussion

Boundaries, rules, guidelines and wishes -- poly parameters parsed! 


Do you want a closed relationship? One that's completely open -- but only on Thursdays and Saturday nights? Do you want the same number of partners your partner has, exclusive rights to the bed but not the bathtub, a pony, and all the cake you can eat? 


Do you have some mad poly negotiating skillz, tips, tricks, and rules that you've found really work well to help all of you feel loved, secure and well-fed?


Come talk about poly rule-making, breaking and awesome negotiating on June 28th! 


Please bring a small donation if you can in gratitude for the use of the space at Camas. :)

May 24 poly 101 discussion

Poly 101 discussion will take place at 6:30 pm on May 24, at The Ledge Lounge, above the Bedford Hotel on Government Street (across from Bay Centre).

Our topic is general this month; so feel free to bring questions and ideas about polyamory; newbies welcome!

April 26 Poly 101 at Camas

The 4th Thursday of the month is approaching, and this month we have two things to celebrate:

We will be holding our discussion at Camas infoshop, at the corner of King and Quadra streets, at 6:30 pm.  Those of you who have been attending Victoria Poly 101 discussions for a couple of years will remember that Camas was our first home, and we are excited to be returning there for this meeting, and probably subsequent meetings (we will also continue to have more informal, pub evenings at The Ledge, so be sure and check for location announcements).

This month, we have a special guest speaker from Island Sexual Health coming to talk about their services, specifically in the context of polyamorous clients.  We will have the chance to provide input and ask questions; in addition, our topic this month is Poly and Sex -- yay!

Hope to see you there -- please arrive promptly at 6:30, if you can, and if you're able, bring a donation for Camas, for hosting us.  You may also bring snacks and beverages (non-alcoholic).
