Relationship anarchy

History

Methods for Discussing Relationship Anarchy

• Open discussion groups: Pick a topic, especially a challenging one, relevant to your practice of RA and discuss your thoughts and/or relevant content with others
• Community values discussions: Practice vulnerable conversations outside the form of isolated dyads, and instead share intimacy with a group you trust and care about
• Queer desire party: A sober space for Queer folks to play, flirt, scene, snuggle, chat, and NOT be the only one in the room. Create a temporary autonomous zone to prioritize Queer experiences and reduce the influence of heteronormativity, cis-normativity, Patriarchy, and other systems that condition us towards performing normativity
• Divorce/Break-up parties: Celebrate your friends freeing themselves from monogamy and the couple form! Encourage couple-busting as a liberatory practice
• Conflict fishbowl: Communicate about conflict in a group setting, instead of privately and shamefully in dyads
• Co-Housing visioning and execution: Make housing more accessible to folks operating outside the traditional nuclear family model, and create possibilities for new models and uses of domestic spaces
• Create!: Make zines, write essays, make custom shirts/clothes/art/posters, and share what you learn from practicing RA in your life/community
• Read RA-related content: Start with the open-source public list of online resources
