An in-person workshop for curious minds, open hearts, and growing relationships.

Thinking about opening your relationship—or just exploring what non-monogamy could look like for you?

Whether you’re brand new to non-monogamy or already dipping your toes into open dynamics, this 101-level workshop is designed to give you the tools, language, and confidence to move forward with clarity and care.

This isn’t a lecture or a rules-based system—it’s a facilitated space to help you understand your own relationship needs, navigate tough emotions like jealousy, and learn how to communicate clearly and compassionately.

Who Is This For?

• You’re curious about polyamory, swinging, or relationship anarchy
• You’ve tried non-monogamy, but it’s been confusing or overwhelming
• You and your partner are exploring opening up and want a solid foundation
• You’ve been to play parties or have non-monogamous friends and want to better understand the language and culture
• You’re seeking a space to reflect, learn, and ask questions—without shame or pressure

What You’ll Learn

• The spectrum of ethical non-monogamy: polyamory, swinging, solo poly, RA, and more
• How to create agreements (not rules) that build trust and respect autonomy
• Communication tools that actually work (even when things get messy)
• How to recognize and process jealousy and insecurity
• Practical ideas for boundaries, check-ins, and navigating early challenges
• Key concepts to help you discover what you want—not what others expect

How It Works

This is a live, facilitated workshop hosted by Gareth Redfern-Shaw of Consent Culture. You’ll get a mix of guided discussion, individual reflection, and optional partner/group exercises. There’s zero pressure to share—and space to just observe if that’s what feels right for you.

You’ll also receive printed and digital handouts, including:

• A Relationship Agreements Guide
• A Simplified Relationship Menu
• Journaling prompts and conversation starters

Why Consent Culture?

At ConsentCulture.Community, we believe that consent is more than a “yes”—it’s a conversation. Our workshops, resources, and events help people navigate the real-life complexity of sex, intimacy, and relationships with depth, humor, and emotional intelligence. We center safety, self-awareness, trauma-informed practices, and connection—without judgment.

Still Not Sure If It’s Right for You?

You don’t need to be “sure” about anything.

This workshop is built for the unsure, the figuring-it-out, the curious-but-cautious, and the brave-but-anxious.

If you’ve ever thought:

“What if I want more than one partner?”
