Join us for a lively and thought-provoking conversation about polyamory—what it is, what it isn’t, and the many misconceptions surrounding it. At its core, polyamory means "many loves," but what does this look like in practice, and what do healthy relationships look like in general? We believe one’s relationship preferences are a personal journey, and our goal is to leave you wondering about yourself and how you want to be in relationship.

This is a dialogue, not a class, but there is no pressure to share. Listening is key ????

There is a gathering every month; feel free to attend one or all of them. The group’s interests will guide the discussion. You can dive into any or pick up the thread of what someone else is sharing. Expect an insightful, fun, and lighthearted vibe.

Lastly, if you’re able to give, consider contributing between $3 and $50, or bringing a snack to share. We know the contribution range is wide. You can look for the blue duct tape box, hand us cash, venmo, or give on the website. Please give what feels right to you. No questions asked. To find out more about what we’re all about, head to our About Love University page. To give now, head to our Support Us page.

Please email April at [email protected] to RSVP or with any questions. We hope to share with you soon!

About the Artist:
Buffalo Rose is a singularly spectacular six-piece band from Pittsburgh, PA. Overflowing with the bold and unfettered joy of their inimitable blend of “Theatre Kid Americana,” a Buffalo Rose show is a celebration of creative wonder; a sparkling sonic delight. Their live show is where their energy fully shines, and songwriting is their lodestar. The band’s recorded catalog is full of vibrantly emotive and methodically arranged songs, sure to thrill the mind and charm the heart.

About the Venue:
Zenbarn is a one-of-a-kind venue presenting amazing music in an intimate barn setting. Shows are indoors and typically standing room unless otherwise noted. Limited seating is available for non-seated shows, with plenty of space inside and out to take a breather, spread out, or find a place to rest.

We welcome all—Zenbarn is a community hub where people come together to enjoy great music and great company. Come experience the Zen of Zenbarn solo, with friends, or with family. All ages are welcome unless otherwise noted in event details.
