Testimonials

Sean of Boulder:

Thanks, Janet and Sasha, for the ideas on how we could connect in our group lovemaking so nobody felt left out and everyone got what they needed. We had each lover say what they wanted from each of the others. When we actually started connecting, Kath withdrew to a corner, looking unhappy. We followed the procedures you suggested; we stopped hooking up and gave Kath our undivided attention. She said she felt shy with Mary and needed some time with her alone to feel comfortable. She revealed how she’d left herself out when I connected with Mary. Mary invited her to include herself anytime. We started by giving the women time to bond. After a while, when we resumed lovemaking, Kath included herself and a good time was had by all. We now meet twice a week to make love and are considering moving in together.

Muchas Gracias.

Rochelle in California:

I read your article on “Ahimsa, Do No Harm” and realized I’d let myself do potential harm to one of my lover’s other lovers. My boyfriend, (let me call him Tommy) has a girlfriend who is not open to polyamory. In fact, he won’t tell her (let’s call her Sue) that he’s involved with me and my husband (John). We had been involved with Tommy for many years and hadn’t realized he had another relationship until recently when we saw Tommy and Sue together at the Mall. We approached them and he looked so nervous, I thought he’d mess his pants. Later, we got the truth when we confronted him directly. It’s a long story and bottom line, he said he broke up with her so the three of us got back together for another lovemaking episode. But I felt so uncomfortable when I was with him, I went into the bathroom and vomited.

After reading your article, I put two and two together and realized, deep down to my soul, I cannot participate in a system involving lies. I don’t believe Tommy anymore and I was fooling myself when I believed he and Sue had split up. Good thing I followed my instincts that were activated by your article. I saw them together later. Once again, he lied. I’ve now set him free and do wish him well. But I just can’t lie or be lied to.

I feel guilty because I made love with him one last time and then saw him together with Sue. Part of me wants to confess to her, but I don’t even know her real name. She’s also moved, so I probably won’t run into her again. So, for now, I’ll just have to let it go. But, in the future based on what I learned from you, I will insist in communicating directly with all involved. I now vow to disconnect and leave the relationship rather than hurt anyone by participating in a web of lies and deception.

Thanks for writing your story. I often read what you have to post as your experiences resonate with mine and others in my poly support group. We learn and grow so much from your teachings and stories, which are so honest. I hope to get to one of your workshops or your annual polyamory conference this year. When will you be coming to CA? I’d like to book a session with my husband and our new girlfriend.

I am writing to express my gratitude and appreciation to Janet, Sasha, Dave and everyone who attended and presented at the VERY FIRST WPA Conference in Laguna.

I was initially unsure of my commitment to attend as it is a long way from Canada and my calendar was iffy at best. At the last possible moment, I was able to confirm my attendance and get there. I am very glad I did. I was pleased to discover that even though the material presented was of the most profound and valuable nature, the delivery was informal and fun. I know I was in the room for two full, long days but I mostly recall lots of laughing and hugging and AHA’s that left me energized and wishing that the event was longer. The facility chosen to host the event was accommodating and beautiful as it was near the beach and nestled in the mountains with beautiful green views to take in right through the conference room windows. We didn’t spend much time doing that though as the program was very engaging.

Looking over the sheets in my package refreshes my memory around the excellent qualifications of the presenters and how impressed I was by their commitment and skill in articulating their processes and concepts. The many attendees were varied and willing to participate fully when requested which created value for all concerned. Personally, I interacted with a number of people that will become significant relationships in my life as time passes. That alone was enough for the trip to be worthwhile.

There were many attendees that have lots of poly experience and were willing to share their stories in panel or personal discussions and I was also pleased to meet individuals and couples that we just beginning to explore this world. All were welcomed and celebrated with music and affection and consideration. It was put forward and reinforced that we may be the next step in the evolution of the species in our habits and processes. I certainly resonate with that as I find my relationships are better, my communications are better and I am a better person as a result of incorporating the methods and guidelines of open loving. Surprisingly, one of the tools demonstrated during the weekend showed that I could sharply improve my financial dealings by feeling my feelings more directly. Who wouldn’t want that?

I can’t say enough about how this event has positively impacted my life. I thank Janet and Jor-EL for encouraging me to get past my considerations and to be present for this historic moment. I know that I will be notifying my personal network to make plans to be at all the future WPA events. It is my opportunity to strengthen my personal society and society at large one thought at a time.

Thanks again…B

Hi Ms. Janet,

I received your Synergy newsletter and was overwhelmed reading it. I thought that it would be injustice not to thankyou for such fantastic essays.

I have also nurtured for long the feeling of love and oneness with more than one people but may have never expressed so well. I would have definitely joined your conference had I been in USA. Unfortunately, I am in India. Since you are heading World Polyamory Association, do you have any subsidiary in India or any information about such groups here ?

I would be happy if you keep in touch at times and send your articles and newsletters to me regularly and any information that you may think suitable.

Goodbye & regards,
