ENM Study Club: Initiating Connections

What are all these acronyms? Are agreements really any different from boundaries? What's a check-in?

Let’s learn together via a monthly, community-driven discussion. Each month we’ll pick a reading, podcast, or topic and unpack what we’ve found. At the end we will take suggestions for next month's material. Think of a cross between a book club and a support group; we’ll seek out new tools and techniques relevant to the attendees’ challenges.

Meetings will take place on Zoom. If you can’t make the time given, drop a note in the event chat and I’ll consider rescheduling. Everyone is welcome, regardless of familiarity with non-monogamy. The event is free to attend.

Topic (July 2025)

Let's discuss the early stages of a new connection. More specifically, what's important information to exchange to determine compatibility? What are some blind spots you are grappling with in terms of choosing people to approach, e.g. fatphobia or transphobia? How do you keep all the alignment checks from turning flirting into a boring checklist?

Please suggest relevant resources in the event chat!
