I wanted to start a poly meetup that wasn't in the city nor on a
weekday. I am hoping this will help spark other suburban events for
the poly community. This will help the community to grow.
The owner Tracy has been told that this a sexual positive and
community building event. When you arrive we will be in a side room,
but you can ask for the MEETUP GROUP.
This is a local tea shop in OAK PARK and I want to invite you all out
to meet n mingle, enjoy amazing tea, and relax as you talk with other
poly people. You can order sandwiches, scones and a variety of teas.
There is FREE parking on Sunday's as well at CTA/METRA access.
PLEASE RSVP SO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF OUR ATTENDANCE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS
IS THE FIRST EVENT. IF YOU DECIDE LAST MINUTE TO COME THAT IS OKAY.
RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT:
These rules are from Chicago Polyamory Connection (I am not an
official group member, but support their rules and the positive
community they create) I have listed their website below so you can
see more events they host:
Chicago Polyamory Connection was founded in 2013. We strive to be a
safe, welcoming gathering space, and a home for diverse polyamorous
folks from all over the city and the surrounding area. We welcome all
those who consider themselves polyamorous, those who are curious about
polyamory, and supportive friends, lovers, and allies – regardless
of age, gender, gender identity, orientation, relationship status, or
any other aspect of your identity. Our events are laid-back and social
– not sex parties – and some are family friendly. We always
enforce a set of house rules in order to maintain a safe space:
Learn – Our events are for learning about polyamory and developing
friendships and connections within the community. It is not a play
space–therefore nudity, kink, and sex play are not permitted at this
event.
Open communication – We are all about open and honest communication!
Help US to create a space that facilitates trust, where attendees give
and receive support to one another. Get to know your fellow attendees
by asking respectful questions and listening carefully.
Verbal Consent – Please be sure to ask and wait for a yes before
hugging or initiating any physical contact, and encourage each other
to speak openly about consent and personal boundaries. This helps
foster a culture where personal boundaries are supported and attendees
are empowered to speak confidently of their limits. (i.e. “Can I
give you a hug?” “No thank you, but I would love a handshake.”)
Expectations – check them at the door! Being at this event does not
signal sexual availability or indicate any aspect of sexual
orientation
Respectful behavior toward hosts and guests is required. Anyone who
violates these rules may be asked to leave the event.
Safer Space – CPC strives to create a safer space for people of ALL
identities, including those who do not identify as polyamorous. No
photography, video, or recording of any kind is allowed without prior
verbal consent of all parties involved.
