March Victoria Poly 101: Poly time management
Date: Thursday, March 28th
Place: Camas (Quadra street, across from Fairway, just south of Hillside)
Time: 7 pm to 9 pm
Topic: Poly time management
Polyamory takes so much time!! We hear this from non-poly people, and from poly people, too. Guess what? Having more than one partner DOES take more time, and energy, and a lot of careful organization. So how do we do it? Come discuss how to manage your poly time and loves in an effective, respectful and compassionate way.
As always, donations to Camas are appreciated for the use of their wonderful space.

February Poly 101 discussion
This month's topic, as promised, is "Dealing with Jealousy in Poly Relationships."
Jealousy is complicated, problematic, scary, and often useful. Many people say they don't experience it, but even if they don't experience any of the emotions associated with jealousy (like envy, feeling left out, possessiveness or insecurity, to name a few... ) they will probably have to deal with their partners' jealousy at some point in their poly lives.
Come discuss jealousy and how it impacts your poly life.
Date: February 28th (always the 4th Thursday of the month!)
Place: Camas Books, 2620 Quadra Street
Victoria, BC, Canada
Time: 7 pm to 9 pm
Anyone who wishes to learn about polyamory is welcome. Respect for the privacy and opinions of others is mandatory.
As usual, Camas is hosting us for free, so please consider bringing a small donation for their kindness.

January Victoria Poly 101
January 24th is the next Poly 101 discussion at Camas Books, 2620 Quadra Street, Victoria, BC.
Please note that we have a new start time of 7:00 pm, which I hope will make it easier for people to get there from work or class.
Please bring a donation, if you can, to Camas for their support in letting us meet every 4th Thursday of the month.
Aaaaand... this month's topic is:
Talking about being polyamorous: challenges, stereotypes, roadblocks, and resources.
Do you struggle to explain polyamory to your friends, family or potential dating partners? Have you ever had to overcome feelings of guilt or discomfort related to stereotypes about having more than one partner? How much information is appropriate to share with other people?
Come share some ideas for how to talk about polyamory to people who might not know what poly is, or how important it is in your life.
