As much as I love being your digital friend, let's hang out in real life.

To do that, we're hosting a three-day restorative retreat at a queer-friendly private property in Florida this May, and we would love to see you there.

Join us for relationship recess, a three-day, two-night retreat focused on nourishing your connections through the power of pure, authentic play, and deep exploration. We've partnered with our friends, I guess our digital friends at normalizing non-monogamy. They feel like real friends, but I guess we haven't met in real life yet. We're about to be at the same time as you. Yeah. Okay. So our digital soon to become actual real friends, Emma and Finn, from the Normalizing non-monogamy podcast, and also play consultant Gary Ware. It's going to be taking place May 1st to the 3rd, 26 at the incredible Great Escape Lakeside in Claremont, Florida. So here's what to expect. We're going to do some speed friending to help break the ice. We're going to be facilitating small group sessions about some

of our practical tools like microscripts and radar. And then it's going to be all the wealth of

activities that the property has to offer us. So Emily leading some karaoke, I'm going to try

to lead a pinball tournament. Gary's going to lead some outdoor games, plus everything else that's

on the property. So we got human-sized foosball, a hot tub,

lazy river, a movie theater, escape rooms, so much more. Absolutely, everyone is welcome,

so that means solo folks, partners, friends, every type of relationship style. And also all of the

meals and the snacks and drinks are included. And additionally, we have a discounted block of hotel rooms available exclusively for our guests.

I don't love the term toxic individualism because I feel like putting toxic before something

is really just packaging it up to use it against somebody else. But what I do think we want to keep an eye out for is when we can get too hung up on the dogma of individualism,

rather than actually looking at each person's individual circumstance and individual situation.

In my ideal world, we've got a lot more people in our lives that we can

bring these kinds of conversations to. But I think in most people's real lives, they just don't

have quite that big a community of people that understand them as an individual and that also can

handle these sorts of conversations. On the other hand, I do think we have this bad cultural precedent

of putting all of our emotional baggage on our partners.
