April 26 Poly 101 at Camas

The 4th Thursday of the month is approaching, and this month we have two things to celebrate:

We will be holding our discussion at Camas infoshop, at the corner of King and Quadra streets, at 6:30 pm.  Those of you who have been attending Victoria Poly 101 discussions for a couple of years will remember that Camas was our first home, and we are excited to be returning there for this meeting, and probably subsequent meetings (we will also continue to have more informal, pub evenings at The Ledge, so be sure and check for location announcements).

This month, we have a special guest speaker from Island Sexual Health coming to talk about their services, specifically in the context of polyamorous clients.  We will have the chance to provide input and ask questions; in addition, our topic this month is Poly and Sex -- yay!

Hope to see you there -- please arrive promptly at 6:30, if you can, and if you're able, bring a donation for Camas, for hosting us.  You may also bring snacks and beverages (non-alcoholic).

Happy Valentine's Day, Poly 101!


As poly people, we know better than anyone that there are as many ways to love as there are people to love, and that's reason enough for me to celebrate.

Happy Valentine's Day, to a group of open-hearted people who continue to teach me the most amazing things about love. :)

February Poly 101 discussion

Feb. 23rd, 6:30 pm at The Ledge Lounge (1140 Government Street, Victoria)

How do you talk to others about polyamory? How do you introduce polyamory to a new partner/lover? When do you introduce polyamory? How do you figure out if your polyamory and someone else's polyamory are the same thing? How do you introduce poly to yourself? 


Cora will be facilitating this discussion as Kiki has other engagements. See you there!
