There’s a clear overlap between people exploring their queerness and people exploring relationship styles beyond conventional coupledom.
This workshop, a combination of introduction, discussion, small group work and roleplay, explores the promises and challenges of polyamory (though John prefers to call it ‘inclusive relating’), with an emphasis on our own experiences and solutions.
Sharing is caring!

As queer spirits we cross the veil and stand between the worlds in our myriad, liquorice-allsort ways.
Being met, seen, held and celebrated by the open loving hearts of others is key to collective change needed as well as for our own liberation.

How about slowing down and giving lots of space to all emotions and uncomfortable sensations we experience when we disagree with loved ones or members of our own community?
This is a playful experimental space that is open to all who are willing to slow down radically and to look at their own shit.
