Vancouver Polyamory 101 March

Join us for our monthly discussion, facilitated by Megan Veaudry and Mel Cassidy.

Our topic this month is "Unpacking Hierarchy". We are looking forward to a lively discussion! Be sure to tell your friends.

Some questions we will be considering:

What is hierarchy in Polyamory? What are descriptive and prescriptive hierarchy and what effect do those differentiations have?

How is hierarchy helpful? How can it cause harm?

How does hierarchy effect the stability/sustainability of polyamorous relationships?

What factors need to be present for hierarchy to be ethical?

Do you have to be non-hierarchical to be solo polyamorous?

This event is held at The Pleasant, on Main Street in Mount Pleasant, in their spacious, private back room. They have a delicious menu and a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Please help support them and their Staff by ordering food and beverages if you are able to, as anything ordered goes towards the minimum spend required to use the space.
