We weren't given the tools and skills we need to build the relationships we want and deserve. This workshop will get you started, without wasting countless hours in therapy.

This is a 90-minute live interactive online workshop for couples and individuals curious to explore consensual non-monogamy. Learn why ENM/CNM and ‘casual dating’ aren't synonyms and how you can have a committed relationship whether you're monogamous or non-monogamous!

Are you ready to open up without blowing up? Walk away knowing exactly which kind of relationship dynamic is right for YOU!

💗 Not only will you learn definitions of the important lingo and get a breakdown of all the different relationship dynamics, but you'll learn how to determine your own IRS (Ideal Relationship Structure) using your Hierarchy of Exclusivity for your physical/sexual and emotional/romantic needs.

This workshop is separated into three info-packed sections, because most things are better in at least threes. Here are some of the highlights covered:

• Types of ENM relationship structures
• Your IRS: Ideal Relationship Structure
• Hierarchy of Exclusivity
• Benefits + challenges, common myths
• Clear vs. Effective communication
• Compound Meanings
• Make Jealousy your BFF
• Boundaries + expectations
• The 3-Part Apology
• Avoid common mistakes
• The Relationship Agreement
• Conflict vs. Curiosity (and Arousal!)
• The right (and wrong) Support Network
• Uncomfortable vs. Unsafe
• Equity vs. Equality + Sexism
• Mismatched Libidos + Relationship Orientations

Exploring ENM isn’t necessarily going to be a fuck yes from both of you, but it can’t be a fuck no from either of you. Learning more about consensual non-monogamy will only improve your relationship, even if you decide not to open up! Being uncomfortable is okay, it’s not the same as unsafe.
