Relationship Anarchy discussion group, "Change through communication"

This group meets monthly to discuss Relationship Anarchy topics of interest. Come meet others who are relationship anarchists or curious about this relational philosophy/practice! We average about 10-20 participants every month. Facilitator Jennifer Luciani is a relational coach who has been leading discussion groups for the past 10 years on this and related topics.

In this month's discussion, we will discuss the eighth core principle of relationship anarchy ("change through communication") as outlined in the manifesto (linked below).

"Change through communication
For most human activities, there is some form of norm in place for how it is supposed to work. If you want to deviate from this pattern, you need to communicate — otherwise things tend to end up just following the norm, as others behave according to it. Communication and joint actions for change is the only way to break away. Radical relationships must have conversation and communication at the heart — not as a state of emergency only brought out to solve 'problems'. Communicate in a context of trust. We are so used to people never really saying what they think and feel — that we have to read between the lines and extrapolate to find what they really mean. But such interpretations can only build on previous experiences — usually based on the norms you want to escape. Ask each other about stuff, and be explicit!"
