Hello again, Multiamary listeners. This is going to be the last call for the retreat in Portugal. We only have a few spots left for this upcoming somatic retreat that's going to be taking place in Lagos, March 3rd to the 6th of 2026. So I'm going to be joining dance and movement therapist Orit Krug, and we're going to be taking a small group to the

beautiful southern coast of Portugal for four days of somatic work designed specifically for

polyamorous folks. So if your brain is on board with non-monogamy, but your body keeps panicking,

this retreat is for you. We do our best to handle absolutely everything. Your accommodations are included. Your meals, your snacks, drinks, there's a private chef. You don't have to worry about cooking. You don't have to worry about cleaning. You just have to show up and dive into the work. You can come solo or bring a partner or bring multiple partners. We offer sliding scale pricing. So if cost is a concern, please don't let that stop you

from applying. And if you're interested, go to multi-amory.com slash retreat to apply. Again, that's

multi-amory.com slash retreat to apply. And I hope that I can see you in Portugal.

I've thought a lot about that quote, I think you said Dedegro was from Esther Perel,

recently where you were talking about that change involves some sort of loss and some sort of pain that even if change is a good thing, it can still involve a lot of challenge

and a lot of like necessary growth to sort of

move through and past the thing that you are ultimately sort of losing. And that that loss,

especially with monogamy, losing monogamy is this idea of the unit, this idea that it was

only going to be the two of us against the world.

And it makes a lot of sense to want to hold on to that in some way.

But I do think that even with that loss, so often we discover that the thing on the other side of that loss is even better than we could have expected or hoped for.

Welcome to the Multiamary Podcast. I'm Jace. I'm Emily. And I'm Dedeker. We believe in looking

to the future of relationships, not maintaining the status quo of the past. Whether you're monogamous,

polyamorous, swinging, casually dating,

or if you just do relationships differently, we see you, and we're here for you.

Fums I know I did. Forcing me to form myself to fit. on this episode. On this episode of the Multiamary podcast, we're talking about the biggest

polyamory mistakes that newbies make. But wait, before you turn it off, this is not just for

newbies. All of us, as well as many of the listeners we've talked to, have made some of these mistakes

well after we could fairly be considered newbies.
