Phoenix Polyamory Association

Poly Pot Luck w/Poly Educational Discussion and Group Support

Please Email twilight2095@hotmail.com to RSVP and for location address.

Quarterly pot-luck get together for a polyamory educational discussion and support group. If you are new to poly this is a great event to learn more about the lifestyle from those with experience. Feel free to come with questions or just to have a supportive group to whom you can discuss issues you have encountered.
And bring a dish to share :)
We'll try to hold this meeting quarterly and will try to move it to different venues whenever possible. That will provide some variety and also increase the chance that it will be held somewhere near you.
If anyone would like to host, please let us know. It can be a lot of fun.
For those who remember the montly PolyPURPOSE meeting, the format of this get together will be familiar. Generally we start out with introductions and a quick survey of what issues, questions or topics the group would like to discuss. Then we have discussion for an hour or so until people get hungry or have all their questions answered. Following the discussion, we eat and socialize.
Bring any kind of food you like to share and your smile. Since this is a casual event, you can show up as your schedule allows and we will hang out until people are done hanging out. We will provide bottled water and some soda. Feel free to bring wine or beer to share.

We'll announce the actual location when we settle the venue.

Bike And Breakfast @ The Breakfast Club Scottsdale

Let's go for a Sunday bike ride and then have a delicious breakfast! We'll meet up in the parking lot behind The Breakfast Club and ride along the canal bank which can take us west into the Biltmore area of Phoenix or North into the greenbelt that winds up through the center of Scottsdale.
How far we go and how fast will depend on those who join us. When we return, we will enjoy breakfast at The Breakfast Club which has very delicious food and a coffee bar as well.
Hope to see you there!

Look for our mascot on the edge of the table - a green gecko with orange feet. If you cant find us, ask the hostess where the Green Gecko, the Arizona Poly Events or the Phoenix Polyamory Association is, and they will escort you to where we are. We have reserved the banquet room as it is more private.

*NEW VENUE* Paradise Bakery **NEW VENUE* Paradise Bakery**

This is a great event for meeting the poly community for the first time and it is also very popular with regulars.  It's a relaxing way to meet new people and to reconnect with friends and acquaintances.

We generally provide the opportunity for people to order dinner and eat first.  At Paradise Bakery you will order your food when you enter then come back to the room.  After we eat we'll have a topical discussion on a prepared subject.  We also provide time for people to bring up questions or issues they may have about poly in general.

When meeting someone new, it is often difficult to express what you are looking for in a potential relationship.  Polyamory is the dating scene on speed! There will be relationships that last a week, and there will be relationships that last a month; there may be relationships that last for years.

To start out, it will help to identify the type of relationship you are seeking.  Next, examine yourself to determine the traits you are looking for as well as deal-breaker traits in a potential partner.  The first meetings you have with someone new should focus on how well that person aligns with your needs, discovering the other person’s needs, and assessing whether or not you can communicate well together. 

We want the Phoenix Polyamory Association to be a place where poly people and those they love may share their insights about polyamory and learn from each other.

We are looking for poly stories to put up on our website and share with the Phoenix polyamory community. 

We want to observe individual privacy, so please make sure there are no overtly identifying details.

Topics are by no means limited to these, however, here are some ideas to get you started writing!

• How have you found other poly people to date?
• How did you realize you were poly or find yourself in the poly lifestyle?
• What is working or not working in your current poly relationships?
• How do you explain being poly to non-poly people?
• What about raising kids in a poly lifestyle?
• How do you balance multiple relationships, plus work, plus everything else?
• What do you do for dates?  What do you do that is unique and insteresting...especially when there are more than two people involved?
