Poly High Tea -
Monday thru Saturday - 1:00p-3:00p
Just what is Poly High Tea? - First, it's a Tea
Party. We will be serving Tea and Cookies...
All you Polyamorous, poly-curious, and poly-friendly
folks out there on the playa are invited to join us
for a discussion about the practical issues of
loving more than one in an open, responsible
multi-person relationship. There are many workable
forms of Polyamorous relationship - polyamory is
polymorphic! There is much wisdom in the poly
community which can be helpful to people trying to
make *any* relationship work, monogamous or
Polyamorous. There will be a facilitated discussion
in which you can get your questions addressed and
some of the knowledge in our community can be
shared.
If you'd like to cool off and de-dust yourself after
our tea party, bring a water donation to enjoy
PolyParadise's famous Human Carcass Wash.
