Monthly Roundtable for Polyamory/Non-Monogamy

The Brooklyn Poly Roundtable is a monthly discussion-centered, community gathering for those who want to learn about and share experiences/perspectives on topics related to non-monogamy and polyamory. This month's topic is:

Scheduling, Communication, and Relationship Check-Ins

Accordingly, let's discuss the following:

  1. The art of scheduling and balancing multiple relationships.
  2. Using relationship check-ins and other tools for effective communication.
  3. What are some techniques and practices folks rely upon to keep their relationships running smoothly, and use to address and resolve conflicts?
  4. How do folks approach calendaring with multiple life priorities, whether they are partners, children, work, hobbies, health, etc.?

Logistics:

  1. A couple of important reminders:
  2. We kindly ask for a suggested $10 donation to help us cover room rental.
  3. We can bring food/drinks to share (yay!), but please keep in mind the event is still centered on the discussion vs. being a potluck.

Approximate Timeline:

• Doors Open - 7 PM

• 7-7:30 - Arrive, get your name tags, say hi, place your drinks/snacks on the table

• 7:30-9 - Group discussion

• 9-10 - Mingle and socialize (and help us clean up the space ;))

PLEASE NOTE: This meetup is about creating a safe space for sharing ideas and experiences and having productive and compassionate discussions with old and new friends. It is not a cruising or pickup event, so please do not come with those expectations or intentions as they can make folks uncomfortable and feel unsafe. Help us keep this a safe and supportive space!

Our group values ethics, inclusion, growth and compassion as a means to support each of our unique journeys in developing non-traditional relationships. Please be prepared to bring those values, along with an awareness of the fundamental importance of consent and a respect for all others if you attend our events.

We look forward to welcoming everyone interested or curious about non-monogamy and polyamory :) See you at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture (269 4th Avenue, between Garfield and 1st Street)!

In community,
