0:00.0	Hey, multi-amory listeners, one of my priorities this year has been focusing on more fun,
0:06.0	more balance in my life and not just working and stressing all the time. And I'm really excited
0:11.0	about our relationship recess event that we have coming up in a few months. And when we planned
0:16.6	it, we knew that we needed a break, that all of us needed a break, to actually enjoy life while we're living it.
0:23.1	And we did not even know how badly we would all need that by this point.
0:27.4	Yeah, we've had a wonderful time planning out this event with our friends, Emma and Finn, of the Normalizing Non-Monogamy Podcast.
0:33.8	We're also working together with Gary Ware, who's a professional play consultant,
0:38.4	and we're really excited to invite you to relationship recess, which is going to be taking
0:42.6	place May 1st to the 3rd, 2026 at the incredible Great Escape Lakeside Resort in Claremont,

Tickets are still available, but the price is going up on February 1st, and it is going to continue to increase as we get
