Polyamory Discussion/Support Group @ SF Citadel


I'm going to be facilitating an ongoing series of support and discussion groups for the marvelous SF Citadel, with the next one being a Polyamory Discussion/Support Group March 24th . For more info see the event listing - and for the rest of the series keep an eye on my own Fetlife page
#

Polyamory Discussion/Support Group

Polyamory is – not to state the obvious – complex. But what is even more challenging is that it is still not wildly accepted, with those in non-monogamous relationships often finding it difficult to find understanding and support. In this discussion/support group, polyamorous individuals and couples will have a nonjudgmental and supportive environment to share their concerns and experiences.

Dates:

March 24th, 2014
May 19th, 2014
July 28th, 2014
September 29th, 2014
November 24th, 2014

Relationships And The Scene: A Discussion/Support Group

Occasionally people in "The Scene" forget that they are not just dealing with sexual play but human interactions and relationships as well. In this discussion and support group, participants will be encouraged to share their experiences in an open environment to receive support and understanding from others who may have experienced the same, or just similar, situations.

Dates:

April 28th, 2014
June 23rd, 2014
August 25th, 2014
October 27th, 2014

Magic Words: Using Erotic Writing To Explore Your Hidden Sexuality And Spirituality

SF Citadel
181 Eddy St, San Francisco, CA

Cost: $20 at door, $15 in advance- see link below for advanced ticket purchase

Dress code: Whatever makes you comfortable!

There are many ways to reach your inner sexual and spiritual self - but one of the most surprisingly powerful paths is through the written word. In this lecture/workshop, participants will hear how erotic writing (fiction as well non-fiction) can reach hidden places that often lay unexposed, help make personal discoveries and to assist in a personal journey of self and sensuality. Participants will learn how to free their erotic writing voices, how to develop their writing towards discovering their erotic spirits within, and when to silence - and when to listen - to the inner critic.

Cost: $20 at the door, $15 in advance via PurplePass
