During this session, we will have structured time for everyone to share a bit about themselves, experience, and interest in ethical non-monogamy, and potential connections they are seeking. Prompts will be provided if you are unsure what to share. We will provide "friendship cards" where you can write your information and interest in someone, and you are welcome to give your card to someone directly or put it in an envelope or bucket that they have created. This session will be a great way to meet people if you are less likely to approach someone directly and would rather have a more structured space.
