Open Relating newsletter from Roy @OpenRelating - July/August 2024

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader

Summer is in full swing, London is sweltering (both a welcome and a worry at the same time) and everyone around me is planning their festivals and holidays. I figured I will send a concise, double-month newsletter before I too take off for a bit as well.

If you are planning to book a session with me, I will be out of reach from the 25th of July to 13 August, aside from a few exceptions seeing regular counselling clients.

If you are in or near London, I've shared some of the events I am involved with this summer.

Until July 25th I will be accepting free consultation from anyone who is interested in coaching or counselling with me. You can book that with me here.

3 July: London Polyamory Monthly Social

There is an entry fee to the Night Cafe, that includes hot drinks and cookies. The event itself is free and we have the place dedicated to us.

20 July: London Polyamory picnic on Non-Monogamy Visibility Week

30 June: Sub/Dom workshop and kinky temple night

East London venue for a special workshop on power exchange dynamics followed by a temple. Click the link to read all about it.

The next online peer support is 7th July

The monthly group session continues for small-group deep dives, mutual support and amazing insights. There are still a few spots left for this Sunday.

Need support urgently?

If we have not spoken before, a short initial consultation for 20 minutes can be booked even for same day.

Quick links to website resources that you may find helpful:

Do you have a question that others might also find helpful to have answered? Submit it online or email me and I will answer it in full in the next newsletter.

Sending lots of love,

Roy

Good news - the Open Relating Online Peer Support is back. Depending on how it goes, I hope that we can have...

Dear Reader This is the last newsletter for the year. December is not always the best time of the year for many reasons and 2024 has generally given us plenty of reasons to feel worried and anxious. The stressors of life often impact on relationships, and I think it's important sometimes to pull back, consider what else is going on in my life and whether some of the challenges or conflicts in my relationship are made more complex because of life's other factors. This month I am sharing my...
