ENM Study Club: RA Manifesto

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 for June 2025

We’ll ease into our first conversation with the Relationship Anarchy manifesto by Andie Nordgren. The manifesto itself is a poem, and each line is rich in opportunity for discussion. A lot has been said about this since it appeared in 2006, and you are welcome to bring your favorite takes from podcasts, books, and friends. We’ll go through the points and share perspectives.
