Opening Up...

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. (The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.)
-- Blaise Pascal

On September 9-11, like-minded poly people from around the country will gather at the Easton Mountain Retreat Center in New York for Loving More’s 25th Annual Polyamory Retreat. Attendants are encouraged to swim, hike, hot tub, connect with nature, and connect with each other.

From opening circle to closing circle all workshops are done as a group to facilitate connection, community and learning. Loving More creates a safe welcoming environment in which to explore, communicate, play and find out what works for you and your partners. You choose your level of participation and take home lessons and connections that last a lifetime.

The basic retreat fee includes all meals, workshops, and use of Easton Mountain facilities. 175 acres provides ample space for camping, and there are a limited number of bunkhouse rooms/beds available for an extra price.

The early registration deadline is this Friday, July 1. Register here.

Loving More, a poly community organization and educational website, is looking for staff writers and writing submissions for the online revival of their historic magazine, PEP Talk. PEP Talk, which stands for Polyfidelity Educational Productions, is the oldest magazine in the world to explore multi-partner relationships. The new blog magazine will feature a vast array of writing on polyamorous issues. The call for submissions reads:

As always we welcome submissions for articles, poems, artwork and stories from anyone interested in writing . . . Special interests or subjects we are looking to cover include bisexuality, queer and poly, mono-poly, coming out, poly and aging, young and poly and any ideas you all have an interest in as long as it is relevant to polyamory and/or relationships. Personal stories of transitions, challenges, joys and relationship shifts are always welcome.

For more submission information, see Loving More’s writer’s guidelines. If you are poly experienced and interested in joining the writing team, contact the Executive Director and Managing Editor, Robyn Trask, at robyn [at] lovemore [dot] com, or call 970-667-5683.
