Gender Expansive Relating Session

Sunday, November 8th

12:00 pm

Room: Brickyard

Gender expansive participants and voices will be centered in this space. Cisgender attendees are also welcome, and invited to listen, learn, and engage with perspectives that may challenge dominant assumptions.


Looking for your people? Midwest Love Fest Relating Sessions are dynamic, identity-centered gatherings where attendees can connect with others who share similar lived experiences while navigating non-monogamy. These facilitated sessions create space for meaningful connections and honest discussions about the unique triumphs and challenges of relating differently within that community. Attendees will build kinship, exchange resources, share perspectives, and find a stronger sense of belonging. 

Shellina Borgman (she/they) is a licensed mental health counselor and a polyamory and Kink educator. She has been practicing ethical-nonmonogamy for a little over three year with their spouse and nesting partner. They have been involved in the Kink community for almost as long. They consider themselves a two-spirit poly pandemic (Pansexual and Demisexual).

They are excited to present at Midwest Love Fest for the first time for Gender Expansive Relating (Non-binary Version). They are passionate about educating others throughout their polyamory journey. She uses her personal knowledge and experiences as well as knowledge gained through their career as a mental health counselor.
