SUMMARY:ONLINE: Boundary Expression and Enforcement with Laura Boyle of Ready for Polyamory
DESCRIPTION:As a certified People Pleaser and Anxious Conflict Avoider\, for many years I struggled immensely with communicating needs and boundaries with partners\, friends\, and metamours. Communication of needs and boundaries is the foundation of self-care in all relationships\, but especially polyamorous relationships\, where additional moving parts may necessitate additional communication around situational and emotional changes. \nThis class is a roundup of strategies that I’ve been offered over the years by therapists\, partners\, and my own imagination\, including the ones that don’t work for me but do for others I know\, to help attendees build their toolbox for this type of interaction. \nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a relationship coach\, educator\, and author of Monogamy? In this Economy? Finances\, Childrearing\, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory. She’s the voice behind the Ready for Polyamory blog and podcast\, and has been an expert voice on polyamory in such publications as The Boston Globe and Cosmopolitan. She’s been polyamorous for nearly 20 years and has been teaching since 2018. \nTICKETING: \n$20 – $40 in advance. We offer a sliding scale so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/ceb7ed2e2c

SUMMARY:ONLINE: WTF is Relationship Anarchy? with Laura Boyle
DESCRIPTION:Relationship Anarchy has gained in public awareness in recent years – but not without the generation of myths and misunderstandings about this philosophy of engaging in relationships. \nJoin Laura Boyle for a 90-minute workshop wherein she will: \n\nBust some of those myths\nDefine and give the history of relationship anarchy\, including contextualizing it with political anarchist movements\nBriefly look at the RA Manifesto\nDiscuss the practicalities of relating from the basis of this philosophical framework\, using her own experiences as well as those of others who have given permission to share their stories during this workshop. (what does it really mean to individually build your relationships from an RA lens? Do we get a smorgasbord worksheet out every time we make a new acquaintance? What about when we want commitments and stability with partners? Hasn’t Laura been with one of her partners for nearly a decade?)\nConsider whether Relationship Anarchy is a kind of polyamory\, or even rightly a kind of non-monogamy\, and how we contextualize that question\nLook at the positives to an RA approach to relating\nand answer audience questions.\n\nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a relationship coach\, educator\, and author of Monogamy?

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Beyond the Kitchen Table: Modes and Models of Parallel Polyamory with Laura Boyle
DESCRIPTION:Many polyamorous “authorities” present kitchen-table groups as the holy grail of polyam interactions. While these relationship styles work well for many people\, structures that fall outside that framework can be equally positive and healthy. This class will focus on building parallel relationships\, being intentional about your choice of how much to interact with your partners’ wider networks\, and how to openly communicate about: \n\nHow to be entwined in someone’s life but not close with a meta\n“Stepping off the relationship escalator”\nHow to negotiate wanting a different level of interaction than a meta does\nBalancing D/s concerns with poly concerns\nMaximizing personal responsibility and minimizing stress on hinge partners\n\nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a relationship coach\, educator\, and author of Monogamy? In this Economy? Finances\, Childrearing\, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory. She’s the voice behind the Ready for Polyamory blog and podcast\, and has been an expert voice on polyamory in such publications as The Boston Globe and Cosmopolitan.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Stories We Can Play: Narrative Ageplay with Laura Boyle
DESCRIPTION:Many people get involved in age play for either nurturing or dark dynamics that fit very classic Daddy/girl\, Mommy/boy dynamics\, and while these are beautiful and interesting\, this class is half about playing specific narrative scenes within those dynamics\, for folks trying on these roles who need some inspiration on how to play them; and half about age play scenes totally outside that dynamic – Bigs who are coaches\, grandparents\, teachers\, aunts\, other authority figures – or scenes where littles play together in power exchange. \nAs a teacher in multiple dynamics that sometimes involve age play in our play\, including switching in a little-for-little dynamic\, I love sharing inspiration for many narrative directions these kinds of scenes can take and opening the floor to a few minutes of shared discussion for folks to share their inspiration and experience to close the class. \nPRESENTER: \nLaura Boyle is a writer\, polyamorist\, and educator who has been teaching classes on polyamory\, sexuality\, boundaries\, kink\, and the intersection of those on a local level and at conventions since 2018. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory: A Pragmatic Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy. After more than 15 years in consensually non-monogamous relationships\, in polycules that have ranged from temporarily closed Vs to constellations whose shapes are increasingly indescribable depending on which relationships folks consider worth including\, she loves to share practical information learned from years of fixing her own mistakes and missteps. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested; $20-$40 sliding scale. We offer a sliding scale\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/8abaaabfbd
