Watch the Recording: Peek Inside Our Polycule

Maintaining Harmony in our 10+ Person Non-Monogamous Relationship Ecosystem

You’re the first to hear that my sold-out online group coaching program, Nourishing Non-Monogamy, re-opens again on September 15th with a new Fall/Winter cohort. In this 15 week online group coaching program, you will go from feeling insecure about the complexities of non-monogamous relating to feeling confident in your ability to proactively create healthy, consensual relationships that are flexible enough to evolve with you and your partner(s), from monogamish to polyamorous, as the seasons change.

​As part of the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy’s Week of Visibility, I recruited five other members of my 10+ person Northern California polycule to help demystify the complexities of how we attempt to maintain harmony within this polyamorous relationship structure:

• ​Skye Arun aka GlittrCat, Music Producer, DJ & Artist

• ​Salina Mae, Mindfulness Education Consultant, Relationship Coach

• ​Justin McGahan, MA, PhD, Poly Therapist

• ​Bexx, Lawyer, tech professional & sex positive facilitator at Bonobo Network

• ​Brian, Doctor, addiction medicine, Bicycle Health

• Moderated by me, ​Aria Diana, Relationship Coach, Somatic Facilitator & Writer of Navigating Non-Monogamy

This heartfelt event was part of the Week of Visibility’s "Identity & Inclusion" theme, focusing on promoting awareness, acceptance, and understanding of non-monogamous relationships as legitimate and enriching life choices.

This Event Was A Fundraiser for OPEN

The Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy is dedicated to passing legislation that protects alternative relationship family structures. 100% of ticket donations from the live event went to support OPEN’s advocacy efforts to promote positive awareness and inclusivity for fellow non-monogamous families. OPEN’s recent legislation has passed in cities like Oakland and Berkeley, safeguarding the rights of non-monogamous families like ours.
