Ethical Non-Monogamy meetings
Regular meetings for discussion of consensual non-monogamy, relationship anarchy, polyamory and relationship arrangements, rules and agreements in general. The purpose of the meeting is to provide a safe and accepting space for sharing experiences and getting answers to your questions.
Whether you have experience with non-monogamy or are just curious, feel free to join in.
We organize meetings regularly every month, follow us on facebook and instagram.
We are creating an opportunity to meet people living in consensually non-monogamous relationships and learn more about this way of life, to socialize with others who are attracted to these concepts and to understand how to integrate them into your life in different ways.
Consensual non-monogamy is practiced in many ways. There are many specific types of ENM, such as Relationship Anarchy, with many subgroups that have different preferences in terms of relationship rules. It is not necessary to know or use these terms, but having a common definition for complex situations can make conversation and mutual understanding much easier.
Our regular Sunday ENM meetings are attended by about 5-20 people. Except for the getting-to-know-you round, we talk in smaller groups. This allows for better conversations, and is also more comfortable for many newcomers and those who are not extroverted by nature.
The discussion is usually centered around relationships and life in multiple relationships, but we don’t shy away from small talk or talking about other topics such as common hobbies. As part of the ENM meetings we sometimes show relevant films or play communication board games. The intention of the meetings is to have a meaningful and enjoyable discussion that allows for the involvement of all participants. We try to replace lectures, persuasion and (even unconscious) role-playing with authentic sharing of experiences, personal perspectives and good, empathetic, gentle communication, including reflection on ourselves and the situations we face.
We try to gently facilitate the meetings. Feel free to contact us
especially if something makes you uncomfortable.
What we don’t want at the ENM meeting
We aim to create a safe, friendly space free of sexualisation, games, sexism, judgement and discrimination against queers and minorities.
This is NOT an event for matchmaking, hooking up, showing off, or other behaviors that are common during dating and dating events – these behaviors are not welcome.
Unsolicited invasion of personal space at meetups is not accepted. If you want to hug someone when you say goodbye, get consent.
No matter how cool you find any situation, it’s just your perspective. Always ask first, take a vague answer as a no and respect that.
Don’t write to people you meet at an ENM discussion unless you’ve already met them *and* had a personal conversation.
If you receive an inappropriate, unsolicited message from anyone in the ENM community, please forward it to the organizers.
When the meeting is over
After the meeting, we’d love feedback, tips, or sharing
about what it was like for you and those close to you.
