SUMMARY:Moon is a Harsh Mistress & Multi-Generational (Line) Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Live* 11am-4pm (Zoom 11am-12:30pm PDT)\nThe 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. \n1 pm Pot Luck Lunch-Bring something healthy and delicious to share\n2 – 3 pm Exercises for Growing Closer –Verbal and non-verbal\n3 – 4 pm Socializing in Clothing Optional Hot tub. \nFilk 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!\nWe 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. \nPot luck dinner at 6 pm.\nSinging at 7 pm – \n*Proof of Vaccination is required to attend all LIVE events. Bring your card!\nFor all events: RSVP/more info call the LTD Hotline (818) 886-0069\n ALL REGULAR LTD MEETINGS ARE NOW ALSO ON ZOOM! \nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3175971626?pwd=NWVjU3A2M0I2Q29IUkI4L1lMRzd2QT09 \nMeeting ID: 317 597 1626        Passcode: Heinlein \nFind us Always here on the 3rd Saturday from 11AM-1PM Pacific Time.

SUMMARY:Chosen Family & How Science Fiction Has Affected Real Families
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss chosen families in real and fictional life. Tell us about yours! \nLine 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 “different kind of family” are offered here. Time Enough for Love’s Tersius colony Family features a large group marriage 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 all children produced by the Ladies in the marriage already born or in the womb— whoever put those babies in their wombs\, co spice or not! This is happening on a planet where the government wouldn’t 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 effected 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 friendship 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 visits (weekly\, monthly\, or perhaps a few times a year). The patterns are endless. The common denominator is long term loving commitment. \nWhich science fiction writings most affected the choices YOU have made regarding family and relationship structure? \nDid you discover it’s possible to love more than one significant other by identifying with Michael and Jill and their NEST of water brothers from Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land? Did Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Forbidden Tower make you wonder if group marriage could work for you? Did Spider Robinson’s Star Dancers make you yearn to go beyond even that into the kind of group relationship possible for those connected in heart\, mind and spirit? Many of us either built a lifestyle using a science fiction book as a model and/or got valuable ideas about working rules for human relationships by reading stories not limited by the present time line’s social prejudices and limitations. This event is for those already in multiply committed relationships and those who want to learn more about them. Some of us whose fantasies became realities will share how we did that… \n  \nLTD ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY follows at 6 pm

SUMMARY:Spider Robinson’s Poly Primers
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ladies free for both events with pot luck dish to share — same price as gentlemen otherwise. Gentlemen (pot luck dish appreciated): Paid members of Live the Dream: $5 for each event\, $7.50 for both. \nNon -Members:$10 for each event or $15 for both events. \nCallahan’s Crosstime Saloon introduces a group of people who support each other in handling their problems and celebrating their joys. In this and later books they go beyond this to actual group telepathic communication. In Callahan’s Keys they show their commitment to each other by all moving out of state together when local laws and the abuse of them prevented them from meeting together where they were. According to Spider’s biographical material\, many of the metaphysical as well as the group related experiences come from his real-life ones with his expanded family and close friends during the ‘60 s in Haight Ashbury. \nThe Lady Callahan books are definitely Poly as committed couples share their partners’ with customers of this high class brothel/international diplomacy center. The “artists” who work there have relationships with the Lady herself\, other artists (some of which include legal marriage)\, etc. Lady Callahan’s place could itself be considered group house since the artists and some of their partners actually do live there. Spider’s Star Dance series features very unusually configured group marriages — combining extra-terrestrials with humans\, gays with straights who share mental “intercourse” etc. Eventually his proposed intentional Family includes the whole human race\, past\, present and future. Spider has written many other stories with incidental poly themes in fictional (?) worlds where it is assumed any choice of whom and how many you love is OK. He has been called the new Heinlein by many. How can we use this information in our own group living and multiple committed relationship efforts? \n1 PM Pot Luck lunch — bring something healthy and delicious to share\n2-4 Socializing in clothing optional Hot tub (which will be available all evening\, too\, except during the ritual.)\nMaybe we will watch Nightmare Before Christmas\, Paint Your Wagon or Polyamory: Married and Dating at 4 — or continue socializing in the hot tub–as the group desires.

SUMMARY:Swinging to poly—black and white or shades of gray?
DESCRIPTION:Led by Marcus Brussel Jenkins (While Terry and Craig are sharing Polyamory in the Filk room at World Con in San Jose! www.worldcon76.org ) \nSome poly people are former or “evolved” swingers. They discovered they wanted more from a relationship than the sex alone could give them. Others may straddle both worlds as they attend poly gatherings and “permissive” parties. Hopefully these folks have read Bouquet of Lovers (please see full article on the CAW website  ) and practice safe sex! \nAt LifeStyles Conventions given by Wide World of Swingers\, Hospitality was handled by a group of people who had known each other over many conventions. They had worked closely together on all the details of making a big convention successful for those giving it and those attending it. Some may have originally met at one of those parties which were frankly Swing parties\, had sex and not asked their partner’s name. After working together for years\, going to each other’s weddings and kids Bar Mitzvahs as well as social gatherings of all kinds for holidays\, etc. any love making they do with each other is no longer casual and is certainly not anonymous. \nEven if they still call themselves swingers\, they are probably poly by most definitions. Might swing parties be one way to introduce people to the poly life style while looking for potential love partners who may not yet know they are poly? \n1 pm Pot Luck lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share.\n2-4 pm Socialize in the clothing optional Hot tub (Bring sandals and a towel) or watch a video.

SUMMARY:Group Living\, Expanded Family and Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A Heinlein
DESCRIPTION:An integral part of this story involves multi generational group marriage — line marriage. \nLine marriage is a multi generational marriage which can last for centuries as young people opt in and older people pass on… Line marriage is the strongest possible device for conserving capital and insuring the welfare of children – the two basic societal functions for marriage everywhere -in a fictional lunar environment in which there is no security\, neither for capital nor for children\, other than that devised by individuals. Line marriage is a remarkably successful invention to that end. \nA line marriage has the advantages of financial security\, the fine home life it gives children; they simply could not be orphaned. The advantages apply here in the real world as well. \n1pm Pot Luck lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share.\n2-3 Group living discussion—Learn how you can LIVE YOUR DREAM.\n3-4 pm Socialize in the clothing optional Hot tub. Bring sandals and a towel.

SUMMARY:Poly Progress: Is Legalized Group Marriage Ahead?
DESCRIPTION:In the last few years progress has been made in terms of legal standing of those who live a poly life style. Visiting rights for poly partners who have helped raise a child they no longer live with is one such milestone. Another is protection (at least in San Francisco!) against job discrimination based on lifestyle—Gay\, Poly\, etc. \nA child can’t be removed from the home of a mother or father who chooses to be in a triad or larger group marriage unless harm to the child is actually proven in court in some jurisdictions in the US and certainly in other parts of the world. We have had people show up at Live the Dream meetings who actually had three or four mothers (though generally one father) from Africa and other countries. Where they came from\, this was not unusual.   We will also discuss Robert Rimmer’s Proposition 31\, published 1968. It is speculative fiction about how legislation legalizing group marriage might be passed through our political process-one of his best “couple meet couple\, they fall in love\, get married and raise kids together” stories. \nWhat would it take to speed the legalization of group marriage in the US? Let’s brainstorm it!

SUMMARY:Poly Oriented Novels By Ursula Le Guin
DESCRIPTION:Happy St Patrick’s Day!   Pot Luck Lunch(1pm): LTD provides corn beef and cabbage + Irish Music to enjoy it by.  Bring healthy side dishes and desserts to share. \nWe note the passing this year of Ursula K. Le Guin\, aged 88.  Ms. Le Guin was a highly respected author who changed the nature of science fiction and fantasy\, blurring the boundary between them\, through her innovative exploration of human (and nonhuman) nature in extraordinary settings. \nHer story\, A Fisherman of the Inland Sea\, found in the collection of the same title\, describes a world where most marriages are a “sedoretu” of two couples\, which may be expanded to include up to 8 participants.  There are rules about who in a marriage is expected to have sex with whom\, and who may not\, as society is divided into two halves (“moieties”) to prevent inbreeding. This is clearly a form of polyamory\, although with additional restrictions. \nThe Left Hand of Darkness is one of Ms. Le Guin’s best known works\, which influenced the conversation and direction of feminism when it was published.  It is set in a cold world where the population is ambisexual: most days of the month an individual is essentially sexless\, but for a few days a month a person may become & mate as either female or male.  Thus\, a person can be both a father and a mother; gender roles are fluid.  The story has been criticized as overly masculine\, a position to which Ms. Le Guin eventually conceded\, leading her to write the stories “Winter’s King” and “Coming of Age in Karhide” as more feminized counterpoints. \n“The Matter of Seggri”\, winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Award in 1994\, explores a world in which women are plentiful and males are rare.  In this society\, gender roles are very different than those of our current\, Western world. \nThe study of these stories is a worthwhile exploration of the author’s vision of alternative lifestyles and genders.  The study of the study of these stories is a worthwhile exploration of our society’s changing views on gender and sex. \n2-4 pm Socialize in the clothing optional Hot tub. Bring sandals and a towel.

SUMMARY:Will You Multi Marry Me?
DESCRIPTION:Fiction authors such as Heinlein\, Spider Robinson and Marion Zimmer Bradley have offered us marriage ceremonies for joining with more than one significant other.  We will discuss not only the ceremonies themselves\, but the promises being made and the effect of the future of the relationships being committed to.  In the real world\, the Church of all Worlds\, Loving More and others have created such vows & ceremonies for current use. We will have examples of those as well. \n6 pm on Pot luck dinner followed by FILK— (science fiction folk songs) from such serious ones as Ballad of Apollo 13 to the outrageously funny Star Trek filk song ‘Banned from Argo’.   We have some specifically poly ones\, too\, including those based on Heinlein’s writings.  Ask for your favorite topic or science fiction book and flikers will find or create it!

SUMMARY:Shifting Realities\, The Mandela Effect and Number Of The Beast
DESCRIPTION:Led by Linda Fitack and Terry Lee Brussel\nLinda has written a book called the Mandela Effect. (click here: www.amazon.com/Mandela-Effect-Confabulation-Fact-ebook/dp/B01I7V60YS). It is not science fiction\, but is about the result of experiments being done by real scientists which are creating micro black holes. This is causing individuals to shift from one possible reality which they were born into to other realities which may differ only insofar as where you put your keys or so different as to contain major bridges where there were none and differing size and location of continents. \nTerry is a certified clinical hypnotherapist (since 1969) who has done psychic readings on parallel lives and taught workshops in how to be aware of one’s own parallel selves living concurrently with us in realities where you made a different decision about what your career would be or who you would marry. This is real\, too\, rather than fantasy\, and has been proven fact as Terry’s knowledge from other realities can be used in this one situation where she had no other access to that knowledge than her window into another reality. \nHow does this relate to polyamory?  Considering the shifting of realities and the different versions of your lifemate(s) you may have already encountered without realizing it\, we may all be poly! Heinlein’s Number of the Beast and To Sail Beyond the Sunset offer alternate realities\, group marriages which have members from several of them in the same group\, and things we can use to\nmake our multiple relationships in the real(?) world work. \nPot Luck lunch 1 pm\nSocializing in clothing optional hot tub 2-4
