Polyamorous+ Discussion: Online June 2025

Polyamory+ Victoria Online Discussion Event

We're hosting an online Polyamory+ Discussion group for people to come together and sharing and discuss their own personal triumphs, challenges, and difficulties with Polyamory and Non-Monogamy.

Trial event: Please be aware, we have not run an online discussion event in quite some time, so we anticipate this first event to be a learning experience for us as an organization. If you prefer to attend an event that is very smoothly run and perfectly coordinated, we encourage you to attend a future Discussion event once we have refined our process.

The event is open to anyone Polyamorous, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Relationship Anarchist, and intentional relationship enthusiasts, whether you've been living this way for 10+ years, or are only starting your journey now.

We are inclusive of the LGBTIQ+ community and welcome individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities. It's a perfect opportunity to share experiences, make new friends, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a welcoming online environment.

We, the volunteers at Polyamory+ Victoria, will be there to introduce the principles of our discussion groups, hold space, facilitate the topics and answer any questions you may have. Reach out if you need anything. 

Emphasis on Consent

Our event emphasises the importance of consent. What do we mean by “consent”?
Consent is a freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific agreement between all parties involved in an interaction. It's about respecting boundaries and ensuring everyone feels safe and empowered to make their own choices.

Please do note the intent of this event is a discussion group, it is not a dating or hookup event. Our Policy and Expectations are available via our website.

• The Facilitators will welcome everyone into the Zoom room.
