The Questions That Shape Ethical Relationships

Some of the most important work we do in our relationships doesn’t happen in moments of passion or conflict.

It happens earlier — in the quiet space where we pause, reflect, and ask ourselves better questions.

Sunday, January 11, we’re honored to welcome Dr. Rachael Meir to Polyamory Talks™, where she’ll guide us through a thoughtful exploration of the questions that support ethical, sustainable non-monogamous relationships.

Thoughtful Relationships Begin With Thoughtful Inquiry

Dr. Meir is a licensed clinical psychologist, certified clinical sexuality coach, and the author of 50 Questions to Ask Before Opening Your Relationship. Her work is widely respected for its clarity, nuance, and deep respect for the diversity of non-monogamous experience.

At Polyamory Talks, she’ll share key ideas from her book — not as prescriptions, but as conversation starters designed to help people:

• Clarify motivations and intentions

• Strengthen communication and emotional literacy

• Assess relational health and readiness

• Support personal growth within ethical non-monogamy

Her talk is equally relevant whether you’re new to polyamory or have been practicing for years. The focus is not on labels or pathways, but on doing relationships well.

A Curated Afternoon of Insight

Dr. Meir’s presentation is part of a carefully curated afternoon designed to explore how we relate — internally and with others — across multiple dimensions.

Also joining us:

• Understanding Your Money Attachment Style
  Mike Pumprey, AFC® — Empathic Finance
  An illuminating look at how attachment theory applies to money, finances, and shared resources in relationships.

• Navigating Through Conflict in Polyamory
  Heidi Savell, LCSW — Steady Polyamory
  A practical, compassionate toolkit for communicating effectively through conflict while reducing defensiveness and fostering connection.

Each talk stands on its own. Together, they offer a rare opportunity for integrated learning.

Designed for Comfort, Focus, and Conversation

Polyamory Talks is intentionally small — 30 to 50 attendees — with theater seating, low volume, and a calm, attentive atmosphere. This is an event designed for listening, reflection, and meaningful engagement.

Many guests arrive early to enjoy coffee in the hotel’s café and stay afterward to continue conversations at the Atrium Bar.
