Polywise: Monthly Book Club with Oh Hi & Erotique

As polyamory continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more people are exploring consensual nonmonogamy in the hope of experiencing more love, connection, sex, freedom and support. While for many, the move expands personal horizons, for others, the transition can be challenging, leaving them blindsided and overwhelmed. Beyond the initial transition to nonmonogamy, many struggle with the root issues beneath the symptoms of broken agreements, communication challenges, increased fighting and persistent jealousy.

Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern and restorative justice facilitator David Cooley share the insights they have gained through thousands of hours working with clients in consensually nonmonogamous relationships. Using a grounded theory approach, they explore the underlying challenges that nonmonogamous individuals and partners can experience after their first steps, offering practical strategies for transforming them into opportunities for new levels of clarity and intimacy.

Polywise provides both the conceptual framework to better understand the shift from monogamy to nonmonogamy and the tools to navigate the next steps.

We are working to create a safe space for all people including but not limited to race, gender identity, sexuality, religion, country of origin, ability, and age (although due to the nature of these topics, we do ask that all participants are at least 18+). We will ask anyone who becomes a problem to move along, so please enter this space with respect, kindness, and an open mind. As the book club organizers, we encourage any feedback on how we can improve!
