Study Club January: Coming Out & Resolutions

Are you looking to learn new skills to help you build better non-monogamous relationships? Do you want to get new ideas and perspectives from other ENM folks on the challenges you are facing? Are you excited to nerd out about relationships? Join us!

Let’s learn together via a monthly, group-driven discussion. Each month we’ll look up resources pertaining to an ENM topic: readings, podcasts, even Reddit threads, and unpack what we’ve found. At the end we will take suggestions for next month's topic. 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.

We meet at 7 PM on the first Tuesday of each month. If you can't make the in-person event, you can attend remotely. Everyone is welcome, regardless of familiarity with non-monogamy. A $8 donation is suggested, but NOTAFLOF.

Topic (January 2026)

This month we're discussing coming out - strategies for letting others know that you are non-monogamous, and/or living your life in the open.

Resources (suggest links and I'll edit them into this list!):

Getting There

Clio's is near Lake Merritt and is within walking distance of 19th St. BART. Bus and Lyft Bikes are available to speed up the last leg of the journey.

We are in the "private lounge" in the back of the building. From the main room, follow the signs towards the restroom; we're back there.
