Beyond Monogamy: Re-writing the Relationship Paradigm

Learn the concepts and skills you need to thrive in CNM relationships and how to explore and define your identity beyond monogamy.

✨ Beyond Monogamy: Rewriting the Relationship Paradigm ✨

A foundational workshop for exploring consensual non-monogamy (CNM)

Are you curious about non-monogamy, or already exploring it and looking for more clarity, confidence, and connection? Whether you're solo, partnered, poly, open, or just wondering what’s out there beyond monogamy, this workshop is for you.

In this engaging, supportive, and interactive session, we’ll explore the cultural myths and assumptions that shape how we think about love, commitment, and “success” in relationships—and why many of those scripts don’t actually work for most people. Together, we’ll unpack:

🌿 What “mononormativity” is and how it quietly shapes our beliefs

🌿 The relationship escalator—and why it’s okay to step off

🌿 Common types of non-monogamous relationships and how they actually work

🌿 The important difference between CNM and casual dating

🌿 What jealousy is (spoiler: it’s not a moral failure!) and how to navigate it

🌿 Tools for communication, consent, and building your own relationship agreements

🌿 How to find your “why” and build a CNM identity that feels right for you

🌿 How to cultivate compersion, community, and self-trust along the way

We’ll mix practical tools, real talk, group discussion, and space for reflection. This workshop is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and judgment-free—perfect for anyone new to CNM or wanting to deepen their understanding.

You’ll leave with:

❤️ A stronger foundation in the principles of Consual Non-Monogamy

❤️ New perspectives to challenge limiting beliefs about love and relationships

❤️ Concrete strategies for navigating challenges and building joy

❤️ A sense of connection with others walking a similar path

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your open heart. Let’s rewrite the relationship paradigm—together.
