Moving into Understanding



 Thu, October 6, 7pm – 9pm
 Center for Sex Positive Culture - Annex 
1608 15th Ave. W. Seattle, WA 98119
  $20 per person and $10 for each partner you bring with you. 
Knowing something in our heads often isn't a complete understanding. Knowing something "in your gut" often gives a deeper understanding. Using physical activities, this class explores the various polyamourous relationship configurations and inspires understanding, empathy and compersion for your partners. Techniques adapted from Tai Chi, Contact Dance and Systems based Psychology will give you the opportunity to learn more about your unique relationship dynamic. Attending with your current partners is recommended and not required to benefit from this workshop. This class is designed for singles, partners, leather families. Please come prepared to participate in movement based techniques and a discussion about your experiences. (This is a fully accessible class.) 
I am very excited about this class. It's quite a departure for me in relation to my other classes. This is more about body and heart than head. (If you haven't noticed, I am mostly a head person.) 

This class came out of an experience that GrayDancer had doing a Tai Chi exercise, that is normally done between 2 people, with 2 people at the same time. He experienced it as a metaphor for polyamoury. He has graciously given his blessing to our ideas to expand this idea of internalizing concepts and gaining empathy on a kinesthetic level. 

I hope you'll join us!
