Poly Alt Parenting Picnic

This picnic is for non-monogamous people who are exploring alternative parenting and building non-traditional families, or anyone interested in building a proverbial village with like-minded folx. Parents and prospective parents are welcome. Kids are welcome. Paramours, metamours, friends, frenemies, crushes, exes, and leashed dogs are welcome.

We’ll have a brief opening circle at 3pm so we can introduce ourselves. The rest of the event is unstructured chaos.🌪️

Since alt-parenting is a broad category, here are some examples of who might benefit from this event:

🏘️ Communal Living Parents: You’re a parent / prospective parent looking to create a co-living situation where other parents and kids can live under a single roof or in intentional community.

♾️ Poly Partners: You’re romantically involved with 1+ poly parent, and you’re considering co-parenting or strengthening your relationships with their kids.

🌱 Platonic Parents: You’re a parent / prospective parent looking to find a co-parent without romantic attachment, or you’ve de-escalated a romantic partnership but remain a connected co-parent with your ex.

🪺Alternative Child-Having Options: You’re interested in adoption, fostering, or alternative fertility options such as IVF, sperm donation, or egg donation.

💡Or maybe you’re curious about a different type of non-traditional family model not listed here — you’re still welcome to mingle and we’d love to hear your ideas.
