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:A Course on Moral Philosophy: Liberty in our Politics and Our Lifestyles
DESCRIPTION:Led by Paul Gibbons\, Libertarian activist. \nHeinlein was a champion of a largely self-sufficient society\, encouraging people to learn the basics of survival and self reliance. Principles of respect for persons and property and commitment to duty and honoring the dignity of competence were described at length in many of his books\, including Starship Troopers\, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land. \nMany people believe Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers are complete opposites. Heinlein himself stated that if a reader did not get it that both of these books are about the same thing\, they have completely missed the point of all of his writings. Both these books and Moon is a Harsh Mistress are about personal responsibility for the state of your own life\, the happiness of those you care for\, and the safety and freedom of the village (or the planet) in which you live. This includes the government we choose and the lifestyles we live. \nScience fiction has been consistently pointing the way to the future in science\, technology\, and politics. Heinlein and others made considerable inroads into other areas of life and philosophy. What inferences can we make from the questions posed in these works of fiction that can serve us today and into the future? Come discuss these issues as we unpack the great ideas we have admired in our favorite stories and work back to the first principles that would make these worlds and ours more successful. \n1 pm Pot Luck Lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share\n2-4 pm Group discussions or hot tub\nPaul may share some video’s relating to the Free State Project \nLibertarian-themed Filk sing follows at 7pm (6pm for pot luck dinner)

SUMMARY:Karl Hess Club Presentation: Atlas Shrugged\, Liberty Loves
DESCRIPTION:Company by Paul Gibbons and Terry Lee Brussel.\nDinah’s Family Restaurant\n6521 S. Sepulveda Blvd. (at Centinela Ave.) \n*not a Live the Dream event \nThe difference between those of us who are comfortable with the status quo and those who truly love liberty is the willingness to share the freedom we want for ourselves with the rest of the world—whether politically or in our love lives. Ayn Rand herself lived an alternative lifestyle\, though perhaps in a way which would not be considered ethical polyamory today—how would it have affected the story if her characters were poly? Liberty advocates who want the freedom to act in their own best interest while maintaining the desire to see others restricted in their ability to do the same (short of actual harm) because those others might do something the “liberty advocates” disapprove of are not really serving the cause of liberty. Is it true that liberty best serves the needs of humanity? We will discuss whether Rand’s characters embraced this position as well as examine whether she herself held that view in Atlas Shrugged and her other writings. \nDon’t miss it! \nFounded on April 30\, 1994 by Samuel Edward Konkin III\, J. Kent Hastings\, Brad Linaweaver and Mike Everling. If you wish to learn more about Karl Hess\, please consult his autobiography. “In a laissez – faire society\, there could exist no public institution with the power to forcefully protect people from themselves. From other people (criminals)\, yes. From one’s own self\, no.” — Karl Hess The Karl Hess Club is a Los Angeles based libertarian supper club that meets each month on the third Monday at Dinah’s Family Restaurant.  \n For more info on the Karl Hess Club go to www.karlhessclub.org/

SUMMARY:Chosen Family & How Science Fiction Has Affected Real Families - We will discuss chosen families in real and fictional life. Tell us about yours!
DESCRIPTION:Heinlein’s juveniles portrayed traditional families for the most part; good ones with mothers and fathers who loved each other. Line Marriage: Multi-Generational Group Marriage\, triads and other unusual alternatives are described in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. 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-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 of Heinlein’s writings most affected the choices YOU have made regarding family and relationship structure? Did some other author effect your family choices? \n1 pm Pot Luck Lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share\n2-4 pm Group discussions\, Hot Tub available \nThen that evening: \nSATURDAY DECEMBER 16 6pm to???\nLive the Dream WINTER HOLIDAY PARTY\n6PM Evening of December 16 is LTD’s annual Winter Holiday Party with Hot tubbing and socializing in between the day time meeting and the party. (Crash space available by arrangement when you RSVP)\nLatkes (provided by Live the Dream\, along with Apple Sauce and Sour Cream)\, songs about the Maccabees\, dreidels\, lighted up Christmas miniature houses\, and a Winter Solstice ritual. We’ll light the Hanukkah Menorah all candles—8th night! Did we forget a ritual important to you? Tell us and we’ll add it… \nBring stories/songs/poetry to share.\nWrapped science fiction\, fantasy or magikal gift ($5-$10) for GIFT EXCHANGE.\nYour favorite holiday dish (perhaps one you loved as a child) for pot luck supper—\n(big enough for 10 to share.) \nChildren bring child gifts to exchange with each other.\nChildren welcome 6-8:30 pm ONLY—Adults only after that.\nSharing our holidays is part of what weaves the bonds of Family in a group like ours. Understanding what is important to each of us during this festive season and how we celebrate it is a way to grow closer and delight in our diversity. \n8:30 Solstice Ritual led by our High Priestess Ealswythe (Actress\, Author and so much more!) \nClothing optional Jacuzzi (with holiday music playing inside it!) available all afternoon and evening–bring sandals and towels. \nCost $5 for paid members of Live the Dream $8 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Swinging to Poly - Black and White or Shades of Gray?
DESCRIPTION:Led by Marcus Brussel Jenkins. Some 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! At Life Styles 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. Even 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? \nPot Luck Lunch 1 pm \nSocializing\, shaded hot tub\, etc. 2-4 pm \n

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

SUMMARY:Alternative Dating Etiquette & Group Living - ROOM AVAILABLE in PENFIELD HOUSE!
DESCRIPTION:What do you do when your wife brings her lover home for dinner? Who sleeps where if he offers (or is invited) to stay overnight?  If your wife is sick on a night you’ve got a date\, should you cancel and stay home with her?  Should your girl friend keep you company if you do stay home?  Is it proper poly behavior to bring a lady home for dinner with your wife before taking her to bed or only if considering a serious long term relationship with her?  Should a residential triad (one woman & two men for example) sleep all together or alternate between joining the lady in her bed?  Emily Post did not cover this stuff\, but we will! \nNote: the real answer to all these questions is that they involve agreements between those involved in a couple\, triad or larger group marriage.  All of this is negotiable–preferably before the situation arises… \n1 pm Pot luck lunch\n2 – 4 pm Socializing in clothing optional hot tub. \nROOM AVAILABLE in PENFIELD HOUSE – click here for details.
