Monthly discussion -- The Ethics and Etiquette of Poly

We often refer to polyamory as "ethical non-monogamy" and many of us began learning about poly from "The Ethical Slut" by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy. Many of us choose polyamory because it aligns with our own system of ethics and beliefs, but often, there are differences of opinion about what constitutes poly ethics and also how this relates to "poly etiquette" -- the habits and behaviours that help poly go smoothly.

Join us at Camas for some great discussion!

A reminder: doors will be shut at 7:30 pm, so please be on time.

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.
