Ep 363 - Dave

In his early twenties, Dave never really felt like he wanted the same things that everyone else wanted out of relationships. During that time he was mostly single and would find himself breaking off relationships after a few months, before they got serious so nobody got hurt too badly. He wasn't really wanting to find "the one" even though that's what it seemed like he was supposed to be doing.

In his mid-twenties he started finding communities that were at the intersections of sex-positivity, neo-tantra, and polyamory. The support of these various different intentional communities opened Dave's world up to a completely different way of forming relationships and connections.

Today, while Dave identifies as a solo polyamorous person, he is much more focused on creating healthy intentional communities that support learning, living and loving authentically as the imperfect humans we all are.

Dave Booda is a writer, musician and social entrepreneur. He is the co-founder of IntimacyFest and hosts The Darkness Experiment. He has led over 450 workshops on connection, touch and relationships and has consulted for and facilitated experiences for companies, communities, retreats, festivals, conferences, birthday parties, weddings, funerals, and gatherings of all kinds — with the intention to inspire authenticity, connection and group cohesion. He has published over 200 essays for boodaism.com and played over 1000 shows as a touring singer/songwriter. He is a former Naval Officer and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, currently serving on the board of directors for the Foundation for Intentional Community while living in rural San Diego, California.

Ep 131 - We Gotta Thing (Mrs. + Mr. Jones)

Mrs. and Mr. Jones from the We Gotta Thing podcast join us this week to share their story. "But can't I just go listen to their story on their podcast?" you might be asking yourself... You could. But rumor has it that we have never-before-discussed top secret material. These are of course just rumors. However, what we do have is a fantastic discussion that goes much deeper than their story. Our recommendation is you listen to this episode AND go listen to their podcast. Everybody wins, especially you.   See photos and more details of all our guests by checking out the Show Notes!

Ep 128 - Mel + Carson

Ep 128 - Mel + Carson

Mel and Carson have been slowly dipping their toes in and back out of non-monogamy for the last couple of years. It has been a slow build up sprinkled with a few speed bumps and lots of learning for them both. This is a great episode for anyone who is in the early stages of exploration or perhaps has been exploring things but it hasn't gone as perfectly as they thought it would. These two take us through all of the work they have done together and how they have come out the other side ready to keep exploring.   See photos and more details of all our guests by checking out the Show Notes!   Click here to join our June 25th Virtual Meet and Greet!   Check out the all new inclusive and diverse AltPlayGround!   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing    https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

Ep 126 - Irene

Irene shares a powerful and moving story with us this week. She has been exploring non-monogamy for a few years and initially got into it towards the end of an emotionally challenging relationship. As you will hear, she has really found herself since she started the journey and has come to be in an incredible place in life and stronger than ever before. She also talks a bit about raising her son as a single mother and how she exposes him to love and openness in a healthy and appropriate way. We hope this story is as moving for you as it was for us.

Ep 125 - Laura + David

Laura and David share an experience with us that has never been discussed on the show... Simply put, they had a baby together. It's definitely much more complicated than that. You'll see. They have now been exploring consensual non-monogamy together for about five years and have watched their dynamic evolve in many ways over that time. They are incredible people that we're honored to call friends and they have an amazing story. You won't be disappointed if you have a listen.

Ep 124 - Michelle + Steve

Michelle and Steve never really closed their relationship after they got together. Steve had explored non-monogamy in the past but this was Michelle's first time even hearing about it but it made so much sense to her that she was game to give it a try. After a few bumps, things smoothed out and they found their groove. Over the last few years they have been exploring various forms of swinging and polyamory all over Europe and have been having a blast.
