Alone right now?
Perhaps you are not alone but would like the relationship you are in to be more joyous for all involved.
There are ways to take care of your own sexual needs while you are looking for a partner or partners.
Some of them prepare you for the delights of loving connections…even draw those lovers to you. Others do not. We will discuss our own experiences with this and what we have learned from others over the years about what you can do to be ready for SEXUALOVE in a poly lifestyle. Both Paul and Terry have been poly since their late teens (before the word was coined). They presented Bisexual Polyamorous Couple Forming a Group Marriage at many conventions over the years.
Terry as a hypnotherapist and Paul as an audio engineer/inspiration have made together such exciting guided meditations as Male Multiple Orgasm, Sexual Enhancement for Couples, Intimacy Without Jealousy (Monogamous and Poly versions), and Release Sexual Inhibitions. More are being created even as this is written. They are available on AceSuccess.com and ReachForTheStars.Today. Terry won the Lifestyles Award for Contributing to the Knowledge of Human Sexuality in 1988 and has learned a lot more since then!

Dragon Riders of (Poly) Pern by Anne McCaffery + St. Patrick’s Day Celebration!
2023-03-18 11:00 - 16:00 | Live and on Zoom, 8515 Penfield Ave, Winnetka, CA, 91306, United States
Dragon Riders of (Poly) Pern by Anne McCaffery
Zoom 11 am to 1 pm | Live 11 am to 4 pm
Led by Mark Merlino and Rod O’Reilley, founders of “Furry Fandom” and of The Prancing Skiltare, a group house spanning decades!
They have been in an open committed relationship (which has often included long-term lovers/ housemates) for 34 years.
While Science Fiction inspires this meeting, the intent of presenting it is to learn how to use it in our own poly lives.
YES, you can attend and enjoy the meeting without having read the books!
Anne’s original stories were poly oriented simply by featuring characters bonded emotionally for life to sentient telepathic dragons. Many of these Dragon Riders were also bonded to human mates with whom they shared romantic and physically sexual connections. Anne’s son and daughter have written their own books in that universe which could actually be considered Poly Primers describing different ways of creating and maintaining multiple committed relationships with human partners.
In a world protected from life-destroying spores by genetically engineered fire-breathing dragons bonded at their hatching to empathic human dragon riders, the social structure is an unusual one. Queen dragons are ridden by women, Browns and Bronzes by males. However, males, as well as females, can bond with and ride female fire-breathing green dragons. When a rider’s dragon makes her mating flight, the passions of their dragons cause the riders to mate in their own way. In the Weyr caves which house dragons and their riders, sexual mores are different from those on the rest of the planet of Pern since dragons may not honor the current romantic commitments of their riders when mating. Since the Weyrs are group living arrangements in any case, children resulting from such liaisons are raised by the “village” with a foster mother and/or father doing the primary parenting.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

1pm | Potluck Lunch – Corn beef and cabbage provided by your host and hostess. Bring something healthy and delicious to share, please.
2pm |Spring Equinox ritual. Flowers, joy… gratitude for the beauty and abundant fertility of Mother nature.
3-4pm |Hot tubbing and/or listening to Pern-inspired music—tends to be pretty Celtic. Schooling on Pern is done by Harpers from the Harper’s Hall where musically inclined lads and lassies are apprenticed as early teens to become storytellers, singers, composers, and musicians. More classic St. Patrick’s Day music such as Irish Rovers also available. Note, if interested in socializing in the clothing-optional hot tub, bring sandals and a towel.

How to Bring Love Into Your Life or Make it Even Better!
2023-02-18 11:00 - 16:00 | Live and on Zoom, 8515 Penfield Ave, Winnetka, CA, 91306, United States
How to Bring Love Into Your Life or Make it Even Better!
Zoom 11 am to 1 pm PST | Live 11 am to 4 pm PST, potluck lunch at 1 pm
Led by Terry Brussel-Rogers, 4th Generation Matchmaker who ran Marriage Minded Introductions for 40 years — Monogamous and Poly.
How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you celebrate it with someone you loved? Whether you are a single looking for a primary partner or partners, or a couple looking for a single or another couple, etc, there are MANY ways to get into the relationship(s) you desire. We will talk about some of those ways as well as how to maintain and bring more Joy to any ongoing romantic relationship… help them evolve into a live-in situation if they haven’t gotten there yet and that is what you want. If it is marriage you seek, that may look like an open committed legal marriage between two people or a plural marriage by contract with similar rights and responsibilities to a legal marriage. Whatever it is you want, it can be accomplished by knowing how to make it happen.
Terry wrote Choosing, Finding, and Attracting Your Life Mate in 1992 with its most recent 2020 edition introduced at Conscious Life Expo in February of 2020. This will be given as a gift to whoever attends this event live or (as an ebook) on Zoom. Guided meditation for Attracting Your Special Someone(s) climaxes the Zoom portion of this event.

What’s Your Vote for the Future?
Zoom 11 am to 1 pm | Live 11 am to 4 pm, followed immediately by Paul’s 69th Birthday Party (4 pm to 11 pm)
Led by Paul Gibbons
Paul has been an activist for freedom most of his adult life. He has known (and recorded) major speakers on the subject, including those who have made a difference in our right to choose the sexual/love styles which bring us joy.
This is a dangerous time following the reversal of Roe vs Wade and the discussion of other assaults on the freedoms we cherish by our Supreme Court justices. The passage of the Equality of Marriage Act could have been a step in the right direction, but its deliberate exclusion of plural marriages is troubling. Paul will share with us how all this could affect the rights of those in the Poly community and what we can do about it. Bring your questions and opinions.

Chosen Family & How Science Fiction Has Affected Real Families... followed by LTD WINTER HOLIDAY PARTY!
2022-12-17 11:00 - 23:00 | Live and on Zoom, 8515 Penfield Ave, Winnetka, CA, 91306, United States
LIVE & on Zoom: 11 am to 1 pm
We will discuss chosen families in both real and fictional life. Tell us about yours!
Line Marriage: Multi-Generational Group Marriage, triads, and other unusual alternatives are described in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. While some of the choices made in this example are influenced by the lack of females compared with males on Luna, some excellent examples of “different kinds of family” are offered here.
Time Enough for Love’s Tersius colony Family features a large group marriage 2000 years in our future consisting of many of our favorite characters from Heinlein’s other stories. Their only absolute for being part of this marriage is that all adults pledge to support and to bring up with love (until the age of maturity) all children produced by the ladies in the marriage already born or in the womb (at the time of the marriage)—whoever put those babies in their wombs, co spice or not! This is happening on a planet where the government would not think of interfering in one’s marital choices and only your very advanced geneticist gets a vote on whom you make babies with.
The water-sharing ceremony in Stranger In a Strange Land is the best example of Family by Choice and has affected families in reality, probably more than any other of his books. Church of All Worlds and many other less formal groups, including my own intimate friendship network, have used this as a model for permanent committed relationships which may shift from lovers to friends and back again multiple times during an ongoing relationship. Members of a Nest may live together or be “semi-residential.” They may live nowhere near each other, but maintain their bonds through phone calls and in-person visits (weekly, monthly, or perhaps a few times a year). The patterns are endless.
The common denominator is long-term loving commitment. Some of these relationships (including in our own Nest) have lasted 30-50 years and are not uncommon. Which science fiction writings most affected the choices YOU have made regarding family and relationship structure? Bring your own experiences to share with us!
LIVE ONLY FROM HERE DOWN
1 pm | Potluck Lunch
2 to 4 pm | Afternoon Activity: WE’LL WORK OUT SOME ACTION STEPS FOR HELPING YOU LIVE YOUR DREAM—whether that turns out to be group living, a triad, a group marriage or just being part of a joy-sharing intimate network. Our present group house got its start at just such an event in 2003…
Enjoy Jacuzzi, socializing, and maybe a Poly or Holiday type movie in between the daytime meeting and the party.

How Has COVID Changed Our Social Options? Strategies for Building Friendships and Love Relationships in the New Normal
2022-11-19 11:00 - 16:00 | Live and on Zoom, 8515 Penfield Ave, Winnetka, CA, 91306, United States
Saturday November 19, 2022
Live 11am to 4pm,
Zoom 11am to 1pm PST
How can we balance safety with JOY in our lives? Your input appreciated!
Why are business mixers going strong with participants swarming to them in locations indoor and out, then standing much closer than 6 feet apart while transacting business while the poly community has all but stopped live meetings and even the Cuddle groups are doing it on Zoom? Just talked to a friend involved in SCA—meetings in parks are going strong and attracting hundreds. They are not social distancing as they reenact the time before the Renaissance. BDSM and LGBTQ groups are meeting in restaurants. Nudist venues have indoor /outdoor events with plenty of hugging. I looked for a Poly gathering to promote our 35th anniversary celebration—NOTHING was going on live! In LA! Is this the way we want to live in the future? Has COVID brought a future of virtual contact replacing touch into reality much sooner than we expected…? Why more in the poly community than in related communities? There are, of course, plenty of people isolating among the mundanes for reasons ranging from health to phobias. It may be safer to stay away from people as far as not getting COVID is concerned, but lack of touch has its own negative physical and emotional results. COVID isolation is becoming a syndrome in itself. As a hypnotherapist, I am helping my clients deal with it in various forms from depression to hives.
Good thing I pioneered telephone hypnotherapy in 1995! I just did not realize how isolated our own poly community had become. What do YOU want this to look like in your future?
Meanwhile, we have you covered—Live and on Zoom.
Live only after 1 pm
1 pm Pot Luck Lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share.

Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover novels, Science Fiction Intro to Polyamory

Saturday August, 20 2022 11 am to 4 pm LIVE 11 am to 1 pm on Zoom
Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover novels, Science Fiction Intro to Polyamory

Live* 11am-4pm (Zoom 11am-1pm PDT)
We’ll discuss fascinating novels based on the concept of a world on which a few hundred Terrans were marooned in crashed space ships hundreds of years ago and were forced to build a viable community from this limited gene pool. Many women found themselves unable to bear children on the new world. This resulted in a society where a fertile woman having more than one child by the same man was considered a kind of selfishness. Group marriage became the norm and ties of fosterage frequently stronger than ties of blood…Marion and many new writers as well as successful professional writers have chosen to create stories in the Dark Over universe dealing with the alternative lifestyle of multiply committed relationships. We’ll focus on “SPELL SWORD” and “FORBIDDEN TOWER”, two novels based on a real life two couple group marriage which lasted 16 years!
1 pm Pot Luck Lunch-Bring something healthy and delicious to share
2 – 4 pm Socializing in Clothing Optional Hot tub.
Filk follows the meeting. Science Fiction folk songs from the outrageously funny Banned from Argo Star Trek spoof to the Ballad of Apollo 13 and other more serious songs of the space age. Ask for a Harry Potter song or something on group marriage by Heinlein and you are likely to get it!
We may watch a poly movie like Paint Your Wagon or Substitute Wife between the LTD Meeting and the Filk or do something else like stay in the hot tub as the participants desire.
Pot luck dinner at 6 pm.
Singing at 7 pm –

Embracing 69 “May You Always Be Juicy” (Quote from Morning Glory Zell)
2022-06-18 11:00 - 13:00 | Zoom Conference
Led by Terry Brussel-Rogers and Oberon Zell
Zoom only* 11am-1pm PDT
Terry turns 69 on June 15th. This meeting is about how both Terry and Oberon, have maintained their joyous sexuality throughout their lives. Oberon was married to Morning Glory Zell for 40 years until she passed on in 2014. She would bless people at rituals with “May you always be juicy.” meaning may you maintain desire and ability to make love all your life. That, along with “All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals” sayeth the Goddess, have served as guideposts in Terry’s life and relationships. Terry has been poly since she was 16 and Shared Water with her first water brother, still her best friend today. Oberon Zell, founder of Church of All Worlds based on Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, has been poly all his adult life, too. They will share their own poly experiences as well as how you can carry out Morning Glory’s erotically delightful benediction in your own love life for JOY and healthy longevity.
Introducing Oberon Zell: Oberon Zell is a renowned Wizard and Elder in the global magickal community. In 1967 he was first to claim the identity of “Pagan,” incorporating the first Pagan Church of All Worlds in 1968. Publishing Green Egg magazine over more than 50 years, he was instrumental in the coalescence of the modern Pagan movement. In 1970, he published the earliest version of “The Gaea Thesis.” In the 1980s, Oberon and his wife Morning Glory resurrected authentic living Unicorns. For half of their 40 years together they were in group marriages. In 1990, they coined the term “polyamory,” thus launching another movement. Sadly, MG died of cancer in 2014. Oberon creates altar figurines and jewelry, and is the author of Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard and many other books. His latest book is GaeaGenesis: Conception & Birth of the Living Earth Oberon is also Founder and Headmaster of the online Grey School of Wizardry. He presently resides in the state of Washington.
*We look forward to resuming live meetings to which all will be welcome in July when Craig has recovered his health.

Moon is a Harsh Mistress & Multi-Generational (Line) Marriage
2022-05-21 11:00 - 16:00 | Live and on Zoom, 8515 Penfield Ave, Winnetka, CA, 91306, United States
Live* 11am-4pm (Zoom 11am-12:30pm PDT)
The setting is a Lunar prison colony with men way outnumbering the women. Triads (two men, one woman), gangs of young men lead by one woman and multi-generational (Line) group marriages are among the ways they deal with this shortage. Add a revolution for freedom from the unreasonable restrictions of the Warden and the Earth he represents. One of the leaders of this revolution is also a member of a Line Marriage. Another is a man with some unusual ideas on the meaning of Liberty and still another, a Lady who stirs the crowd to Action, joins this new fight for Freedom and marries into the Line Marriage. We’ll have a good look at how such a marriage works, and what is involved in marrying six adults and adopting children already in the group.

Did you spend Valentine’s Day with your primary partner? With some combination of spice and lovers? If you are single did you spend it on Zoom or in person with a potential love interest?

We will discuss ways that can work to make your own present situation closer to the delights you actually want in your life…right now.

Poly Possibilities: X Wife/X Husband or Lovers You Used to be Married To? Led by Paul and Athena Gibbons with Terry and Craig Brussel Rogers
2021-01-16 11:00 - 12:00 | CA
Paul and Terry were handfasted in 1993, married in 1994 and legally separated in 2008. They lived in LA. Terry and Paul remained platonic family by choice (water kin) for a couple of years before becoming lovers again. Paul married Athena in 2020 (with some on-the-spot help from Terry and Craig in putting the In Person & Zoom ceremony together) after a decade of living together—in Phoenix. Terry and Craig were married in 2018 and still live in LA. Paul and Athena visit Terry and Craig every month or two as Paul still has many ties in California. A couple times a year, Terry and Craig visit Paul and Athena in Phoenix. They take vacations together, spend holidays and birthdays together and All four are friends and water kin, but only Terry and Paul are lovers. It’s a hell of a lot better than permanently losing someone you loved enough to marry!
How does this work out for each of them? How might it work for YOU?

Are the isolation protocols of the current emergency a temporary or permanent life style
changer? How can we continue our multiple committed relationships in such an
environment? How can we make our connections with those we live with whether they be
housemates, lovers or spouses; not only tolerable, but joyous under these conditions? If we
are alone in our homes, does it have to stay that way or is there something we can do about
it—in this environment? This will be done with a discussion format with plenty of Q&A invited.

Facilitator: David Beal
A life long non-monogamous lover, currently having two regularly seen lovers plus others. He has a recent background in Tantra, having studied with his late wife Shama Malin. And is currently Semi-retired doing property and financial management.
From David: With the threat from corona virus, staying connected with our friends and relatives is hard enough. For those of us in the poly community we have the unique challenge of staying connected with multiple people with whom we generally connect physically but do not physically live with. Join us for a frank discussion about how to navigate being poly in a social distancing environment, while staying connected to your lovers. Living with you or not there will be challenges to maintaining strong healthy relationships.
This will be an open discussion about ways in which we, are or would like to keep connected. Everyone being allowed to contribute their experiences and questions and ideas is my goal. I will be researching as much as I can to help keep this fact based, but I am not a professional so please keep that in mind.
Be sure to have the zoom app on your phone or computer and a free account created before the meeting.
