It is the new year, and this year we are going to Greece. That's right, this spring, myself,

along with dance and movement therapist Orit Krug, will be co-leading a somatic therapy retreat

for polyamorous folks on the mythical island of Crete from March 31st to April 3, 2025.

If you've been feeling like your brain is on board with non-monogamy,

but your emotions are having a hard time catching up, if you've been struggling to access

feelings of joy, safety, or ease, or if you're just feeling isolated in your non-monogamy journey

and just want to kick back in a hammock or go for a walk in nature with other

insightful polyamorous people, please consider joining us. We have space for solo poly

individuals, for couples, for triads, and more, but this retreat is quite small, so it's application

only. Go to multi-amory.com slash retreat for more information on our sliding scale rates and how to apply.

Again, that's multiamory.com slash retreat. And I hope I can see you in Greece.

You need to hopefully develop a sense of internal self-worth and get some external validation.

That's always good. We do need that from people like our partners, people that we work with, people that we're close to.

All of those things are really important, but it is all about finding that balance.

And sometimes you do need things like therapy, like medication, which,ace, you're on both of those paths that we've talked about.

And hopefully that has been helping you with this specifically.

For myself, I mean, getting out of a situation that wasn't good for me ended up being something that I think has put me on a path of not necessarily needing to people please so much,

because I saw how that was really detrimental to my mental well-being and my health as well.

And I think that approval seeking is one thing, but hopefully I personally have a little bit more of a balance now.

Welcome to the Multiiamary Podcast.

I'm Jace.

I'm Emily.
