Join us on May 15th as we explore another alternative relationship style: Kitchen Table Polyamory.
This panel delves into the heart of kitchen table polyamory, a relationship style where all partners (and their partners) are invited into a shared sense of connection, care, and community.
Kitchen table polyamory embraces a web of interconnected relationships, encouraging us to reimagine belonging, communication, intimacy, and love itself.
How can polyamorous networks cultivate trust, community, and care across relationship lines?
What does it mean to create intimacy that is expansive rather than exclusive?
Our Guests
Emily
Her love life has evolved from traditional monogamous relationships into something more open and spacious. Through a shared journey with her husband, she discovered the freedom to explore her sexuality and connect in new ways. Today, she shares everyday life, and deep love, with two partners and has come to realize that love doesn’t have to be limited.
Håvard
He has spent several years exploring alternative relationship structures and has been active in sex-positive spaces. After a previous open marriage, he is now part of a polyamorous relationship.
Jaime
He has never believed life comes with a set script and has always been curious about the many ways people choose to live, love, and connect. Within the safety of his relationship with his wife, Emily, he found the freedom to explore that curiosity more deeply.
His journey into polyamory has felt like a natural progression, not a radical departure from traditional ideas but rather the next chapter in an ongoing story. While it has presented challenges at times, it has also deepened his understanding of love and strengthened his relationship with himself. Jaime strongly believes that if we love someone, we must be willing to let them fly.
Edit
She began discovering her polyamorous identity in 2019, after meeting her first couple living openly in this relationship style. The love that couple shared felt pure and deeply resonant.
Afterwards, she fell in love with a few people who were monogamous, choosing to compromise for a time while remaining open with her partners about her ongoing desire for polyamory. Eventually, this difference became one of the main reasons those relationships ended.
It has been about two years since she left her last monogamous partnership and committed fully to engaging only in polyamorous relationships. This was challenging at first, as she knew few polyamorous people, particularly those practicing non-hierarchical polyamory, which she desired.
Much of this time has been spent deconditioning from monogamy and finding her own core values, while dating individuals who were open to the idea but not necessarily committed to the path as she was.
In January, she met Jaime and has since settled into her first fully aligned polyamorous partnership.
Host
