A small Q&A on polyamory, UEEH, Marseille

On the 23.July.10, already in the closing end of the UEEH, in Marseille, a small and spontaneous screening of the documentary "Vacations in Slutmeadow" (“Ferien in Schlampenau”) took place. Around 20 people showed up, and the session ended up as Q&A on the topics of polyamory, the need for networking that is almost automatic to all poly lifestyles, which was the motivation behind the organization of such a poly summercamp, and a small discussion on practical issues and its implementation. more about the camp (in portuguese): http://laundrylst.blogspot.com/2008/04/um-campo-de-frias-para-galdrias.html http://laundrylst.blogspot.com/2009/06/summercamp-poly-feminista-ferias-em.html more about the film "Vacations in Slutmeadow": http://lube-nomads.blogspot.com/2010/05/documentary-film-on-slutmeadowschlampen.html

Polyamory and Jealousy, UEEH, Marseille

Poly and Jealousy 22.July.2010 Marseille, UEEH antidote and Éskìw Whenever a polyamoury lifestyle is mentioned or considered, usually a lot of questions regarding jealousy pop up immediately.
But what is then this disruptive green-eyed monster? Do we all speak of the same thing when we mention jealousy? Do we know what it can put at stake? Are we susceptible to it? Do we have to deal with it? Do we know how to deal with it? And what about compersion? In this workshop there will not be universal or magical answers to those questions, but we will all be challenged to use the opportunity to find our own personal and tailored answers, with the help of the group. For this, we will sit together, try to analyse a couple of aspects in a simple and pragmatic way, suggest some tools, share our thoughts, and brainstorm together to help everybody find hir personal answer to such questions. No previous experience with polyamoury lifestyle is required.
