Beautiful truths from Ignacio Rivera at yesterday's Community Supported Nonmonogamy session!

"We should be taking inventory of our pasts. That’s the only way we learn. You can’t hold yourself fully accountable. Other people can hold us to that."

"We are constantly growing changing, shifting. Our relationships, if we are being very intentional with them, then they’re growing, shifting, changing."

Fantastic advice from Reyhan Reid on our Parenting While Black & Nonmonogamous Panel:

“How would I handle it if it was a friendship? And that’s kinda how I would handle it if we’re dating.”

“Am I like ‘You need to be my friend forever or else you can’t say hi to my kids’?”

Loving this opening keynote with Chanee and Cheri of PCDA telling us about the butterflies in the Open to Love logo!

They discuss the process of transformation and "unbecoming," shedding and leaving behind the too-tight skins, personas, beliefs that no longer fit or serve us.

What triggered your own metamorphosis?
How many versions of yourself have you left behind?
How many more times will you grow beyond the skin you're in today?

PDM is pleased to present "Vet, Check, Split: The Conversations of Non Monogamy" by Honestly Nae

In ethical nonmonogamous and polyamorous relationships, there are 3 conversations had repeatedly:
• The Vet conversation before you engage in a new situation.
• The Check-in conversation that you have continuously in the relationship.
• Finally the Split conversation, the conversation had when the relationship comes to a close.

This workshop will break down the 3 conversations, provide scripts and skills to engaging in them, and enlighten participants on how to have better communication with their partners.
