Managing Jealousy Within Polyamorous/Multiple-Partner Relationships
Location: Berkeley
Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 8-10 pm
$25, all welcome
Jealousy is one of the most common and complex emotions that we experience. Although it crops up in all sorts of situations, it plays a particularly important and often unaddressed role in polyamory, swinging, and other forms of multiple relationships. Drawing on personal history as well as on the results of a nine-month research group, workshop presenters and facilitators Akien MacIain and Dawn Davidson will help you understand some of the origins and meanings of jealousy. You’ll learn some new tools and useful skills to help you work with and move through your jealousy, as well as where to go for further resources. Whatever your current relationship circumstances or experience with multiple partners, they’ll help you find new ways to deal with the hard stuff and get back to having fun!
