Ethical non-monogamy, non-monogamy, open relating, consensual non-monogamy, polyamory... There are a lot of labels, and an increasing number of books about this fascinating part of the field of how to love and be loved.
Focusing on the experience of living as a partner and parent in an open relationship, and writing about it in her fiction, author Cassie Werber will lead an evening that delves into these style's thorniest questions (what about betrayal and jealousy?) as well as the most beautiful highs (are we really allowed to feel this free, and have this much fun?)
