K!nky Shadow Work Series Regenerative Relationships: Creating Sustainable Abundance in Polyamory Event Details

  • πŸ•— Workshop: 7:30pm
  • πŸ•— Ends: 10:30pm

  • 🌟 Accessibility: This venue has elevator access

πŸŒ€ Polyamory is often taught through frameworks that were never designed to hold it.

When we reclaim our ancestral wisdom, we find our way back to an understanding of love as a living ecosystem β€” regenerative, interconnected, and in constant flow. Indigenous ways of relating to land, community, and life itself offer a profound map for how our relationships can move.

🌿 What We'll Explore Together:

We'll explore what becomes possible when we tend our relationships the way indigenous peoples have always tended the land β€” with patience, reverence, and trust in natural cycles. Imagine your relationship constellation as a living garden, where each connection pollinates the next, desire flows freely across your whole community, and abundance sustains itself organically.

Through somatic practice, guided meditation, and indigenous-informed frameworks, you'll be invited to drop out of your head and into your body β€” feeling into what's most alive in your current connections and letting that wisdom lead the way.


What You'll Learn:

πŸ’œ How Mononormativity shapes our relationship to love, even in poly spaces

πŸ’œ An indigenous lens on love as ecosystem instead of a transaction

πŸ’œ How scarcity mindset creates disharmony in ENM β€” and how to shift it

πŸ’œ Mapping your current relationship ecosystem

πŸ’œ How to build sustainable poly community, not just sustainable partnerships

πŸ’œ Somatic practices for transforming jealousy and scarcity into regenerative flow

πŸ’œ A guided meditation to tune into what feels most alive in your connections


Who This Is For: Whether you're new to non-monogamy or a seasoned practitioner, whether you're currently partnered or not β€” this space is for anyone ready to reimagine how love can move through their life.

This is a trauma-informed, kink-aware, non-monogamy-affirming space. All genders, orientations, and relationship styles welcome.
