Intentional Apology Workshop

Title of Event: Intentional Apology Workshop

Description of Event:

This is a workshop about failure and the ways we’ve failed, lessons we’ve learned, and ways we’ve evolved to ensure we don’t have to learn the same lesson twice, or thrice! So often the conversations about professional development or community collaborations are devoid of how we fail and apologize, yet all of us have this experience. Goals include discussing these realities and get some healing started! Participants will leave having worked on an apology they need to give.

We’ll look at how to transform couples’ conflict into a cooperative activity, complete with practical guidelines—including the role of curiosity in making conflict more productive.

Polyaffectionate: Navigating Platonic Inclusive Non-Monogamy

Title of Event: Polyaffectionate: Navigating Platonic Inclusive Non-Monogamy

Description of Event:

Polyamory and non-monogamy challenge the idea that one romantic or sexual relationship should meet all our needs. But even these expanded frameworks often continue to center romance and sex, leaving platonic relationships underdefined, undervalued, or entirely outside the conversation.
