Want to be able to maintain multiple healthy relationships? Do you feel challenged by jealousy or unsure how to support your partner when they’re feeling jealous? Do you feel confident naming needs and negotiating agreements?
In this experiential workshop with sex and intimacy coach and educator Dr. Alison Ash of TurnON.love, you will:
Create systems that enable exploration and growth while also providing support and stability
Examine power dynamics in and across various types of relationship structures, and learn how to empower all participants
Explore techniques for discussing fears and needs and negotiating agreements with lovers and partners
Discover tools for navigating jealousy and other challenging emotions
Gain tips for meeting and connecting with metamours (your partners’ partners)
Empower yourself with the know-how and tools you need to have happy, secure, and fulfilling non-monogamous relationships.
“Dr. Aly’s approach to jealousy allowed me to explore it, along with other underlying emotions, as a call to action. Learning how to negotiate allowed me to connect with my and my partner's intentions for our explorations and how to structure them in a way that feels safe and accessible.” - D.G.
"I am so glad I got to be in a room full of folks exploring alternative relationship styles. Concepts, communication and mindset associated with a non-monogamy can be applied to many relationships as triggers related to power dynamics, jealousy and boundary setting come up in all sorts of relationship dynamics." - S.R.
“Dr. Aly was emotionally encouraging and answered all questions with care and grace. I left having discovered a new way of communicating my needs to my partners I hadn't had before. I can't recommend her class highly enough." - M.P.
