SUMMARY:Building an Intimate Network of Friends and Lovers at Any Age
DESCRIPTION:What is is like to be 72? I once thought it meant sitting by the fire in a rocking chair\, wrinkled\, tired\, and remembering better days. Reporting from the front lines\, it ain’t so. I\nhave an active love life\, both with my romantic husband and our lovers who bring us delight in our bed which is big enough for four to sleep and cuddle in. Five can fit for… other activities. \nMy husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary April 28 (a bit early) in Hawaii! \nMany of my friends and lovers have been in my life for decades. The co-author of our book\, Fifty Years of Polyamory in America\, Glen Olson has been my best friend since we were in high school. \nAt age 15\, we were part of a sensitivity group which featured weekly evening meetings for doing verbal and sensual exercises\, ranging from sharing our discovery of how opposite (and delightful) the opposite sex could be\, to exploring each other’s faces with curious\, gentle fingers. We had birthday parties and kidnap breakfasts\, too. The difference between this and most teen gatherings was that at any moment the mood could shift and if one of us needed to TALK about something\, get advice or blow off steam\, we could. \nGlen and I read Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land when we were 15 and Shared Water as written in the book. This creates Family by Choice\, which can be at least as close as Family by blood. Others in our group Shared Water with each other and some with us. The two Nests became One when at age 18 I I grew close enough with a girl in the other Nest to want her as water kin. \nToday we have a Nest of 12 who get together pretty regularly in various configurations. Most of these have joined us along the way in our adult lives\, such as my second husband Paul and his wife Athena. \nOthers are further out in our orbit geographically\, such as the leader of our sensitivity group in high school\, Art. My husband Craig and I visit him in Northern California when we go to The Great Dickens Christmas Faire\, at which he plays a dear friend of Charles Dickens himself. The connection when we do get together is as close as it was when he and I were teenagers. \nIt is wonderful to share old memories and create new ones. We visit Kathy and Dean in that area\, too. Our water kin (since 1987) Dave and Eileen sometimes join our LTD meetings on Zoom from the state of Washington\, and we visit them in their cooperative living community every year or three. \nOberon and Rhianon Zell were in town here before their Tennessee wedding in May of 2024\, at which I handled the guest book. Oberon (founder and primate of Church of All Worlds) conducted a meeting of most of those in our LA Nest at that time. It was very special for all of us. Guess that is pushing 22 geographical barriers aside. \nWhat does it take to develop that kind of intimate network? Hint: you DON’T have to start it in high school. This meeting is about exactly how you can make it happen in your life. Whether you are 18 or 70 you can create the joy of CONNECTION in your life starting NOW! Join us by Zoom or in person for this meeting to find out how! Hugs and hot tubs are better in person if you are local… \nAfter lunch\, there will be a summer solstice ritual led by Terry and Craig.

Feel free to offer to lead or suggest a topic /different format for future meetings at this meeting or by calling 818-886-0069. \nLive the Dream is not a book club\, though many of us have been inspired by the writings of science fiction.  This meeting’s content will be based on what those present in person or on Zoom bring in the way of personal experience and share during introductions. Those who are newer to this lifestyle will tell us what they would like to learn from those who have spoken during introductions. \nPlease note that while the first 2 hours of our meetings are on Zoom as well as in person\, this is a real chance to show up and get to know each other. If you can\, do come to the live meeting\, break bread with us\, and enjoy the hot tub. If not\, we are delighted to have you with us on Zoom.\n\n\n\n\n1pm | Potluck Lunch – Bring something healthy and delicious to share.  \n2-3pm | Socializing in the clothing-optional hot tub\, bring sandals and a towel.\n3-5:50pm | Mark Group presented by David Friedman.\n\n\n\n\nDavid actually lived in one of the early Morehouses. This one is in the style of\, though not affiliated with\, Morehouse. \nWe will be playing three interpersonal games\, Mimicry\, Mockery\, and Withholds designed to bring to light new information about each participant. Whether you are interacting with a new acquaintance or a spouse of many years you will learn something new about all participants. \nOriginally designed to funnel into more advanced Morehouse classes and the Group Houses themselves\, our group is a standalone introduction. For those interested in a deeper exploration please see http://www.lafayettemorehouse.com/\n\n\n\n\n6pm | Potluck Dinner.\n7-10pm | Filk: Songs of science fiction and the space age.\n\n\n\n\nPick\, pass\, or perform.  Ask for anything from Harry Potter stuff to Star Trek\, from the Ballad of Apollo 13 to Poly Filk and you are likely to get it. Wait till you see what Craig Brussel Rogers can do for the Tennessee Waltz!\n\n\n\nIf you haven’t already done so\, make sure to check out this month’s LTD newsletter.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n 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:"How Terribly Strange to Be Seventy" - Old Friends by Simon and Garfunkel Learn How to Stay Young and Be Connected at Any Age!
DESCRIPTION:“How Terribly Strange to Be Seventy” – Old Friends by Simon and Garfunkel\nLearn How to Stay Young and Be Connected at Any Age!\nZoom 11 am to 1 pm | Live 11 am to 4 pm\nTerry turns 70 on June 15th. What is it like to be 70? I once thought it meant sitting by the fire in a rocking chair\, wrinkled\, tired\, and remembering better days. Reporting from the front lines\, it ain’t so. \nI have an active love life\, both with my romantic husband and our lovers who bring us delight in our bed which is big enough for four to sleep and cuddle in. Five can fit for…other activities. My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in Israel on April 28.  Among my Old Friends is Glen Olson who turns 70 on July 29 about six weeks after I do. We have been best friends since 1968. We will be enjoying that song together when he turns 70. \nI have fantasized and worried about that song for many years. Would our friendship last til then? It has. It is quite an achievement for both of us\, especially with all the friendly arguments which happen when writing a book together.

SUMMARY:How to Bring Love Into Your Life or Make it Even Better!
DESCRIPTION:How to Bring Love Into Your Life or Make it Even Better!\nZoom 11 am to 1 pm PST | Live 11 am to 4 pm PST\, potluck lunch at 1 pm \nLed by Terry Brussel-Rogers\, 4th Generation Matchmaker who ran Marriage Minded Introductions for 40 years — Monogamous and Poly.\nHow 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. \nTerry 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.

SUMMARY:Chosen Family & How Science Fiction Has Affected Real Families... followed by LTD WINTER HOLIDAY PARTY!
DESCRIPTION:LIVE & on Zoom: 11 am to 1 pm \nWe will discuss chosen families in both 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 of “different kinds of family” are offered here.  \nTime 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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! \nLIVE ONLY FROM HERE DOWN\n1 pm | Potluck Lunch  \n2 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… \nEnjoy Jacuzzi\, socializing\, and maybe a Poly or Holiday type movie in between the daytime meeting and the party. \n\nLTD’s Winter Holiday Party: 6 to 11 pm \nCrash space is available by arrangement when you RSVP by calling (818) 886-0069 \nSharing our holidays is part of what weaves the bonds of Family in a group like ours.
