To attend, please purchase a ticket here.

Whether you're polycurious, or living into your most vital poly-dreams, we welcome you to be in community with us.
What to expect
Group Discussion and Q+A with Dr. Marie Thouin, and humhum founder, Alexandra Ballensweig. Author Dr. Marie Thouin will delve into some of her research on compersion, and share findings from her book What is Compersion? Together we’ll explore the concept of compersion, how it shows up for each of us, and where we feel challenged. We’ll explore how compersion can enhance our relationships and community experience. We'll explore how to bring mindfulness into not only our interactions, but our approach to dating and connection.
Wisdom Sharing
Learn from the experiences of other in the CNM space; whether you’ve been living into CNM for decades, or just dipping your toe in—com share your insights, questions, and experience with others.
Slow-Friending
Think speed-dating, but slower, without agenda, and centered on connection building rather than “pick-ups.” humhum will facilitate a connection experience inviting you to engage in meaningful conversations that prioritize depth and authenticity.
Tea After Hours
From 9-10pm, join the after par-tea! Chat further with new connections, enjoying tea on the house.
Price: $30 early-bird $35 at the door
