Dear friends & whomever might be interested..

Meriana de Jager and Ty Gesyuk would like to invite you to the next Poly/Open Relationships Support Group this Sunday, November 19th from 6-8 PM, in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco.

We believe that each individual has inner knowledge of what relationship models fits them best. Therefor this group is being formed in order to help you create more choices in relationships.

We will:
* share concerns around why different models of relating hasn't worked for you.
* focus on specific issues such as jealousy management, the negotiating of boundaries, etc.
* ascertain which models of relating is best for you and learn how to assert and manage each one.
* discuss and provide information, tools and skills about how to create more options for either polyamory or open relationships.
* illuminate the ways in which we stop ourselves from getting what we want.
* offer integration techniques for successfully negotiating differences in relationship models.

We are committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for communication, innovation and experimentation. There will be plenty of room for discussions and exchange of experiences, as well as
guided exercises and structured interactions.

This group is open to individuals and couples with allkinds of experiences with poly/& open relationships from any sexual orientation. You are welcome whether you are already in or contemplating an open/polyamorous relationship, or you are much more monogamous with a polyamorously inclined partner.
