what is polyamirite?
Polyamirite is founded on the principles of acknowledging that our experiences do not exist in a vacuum; countless others experience the same things that we do, but rarely do we give ourselves the space and energy to talk about them.
The goal of polyamirite (you guessed it: a play on “Poly! Am I right?”) is to create content that is relatable, humorous, empathetic, and engaging to help individuals connect on all the peaks and valleys along the way of their polyamorous journey.
NORTH STAR
Nurturing: We are life-long learners and believe in the power of knowledge and education. Through information and resources, we aim to nurture and empower one another in navigating the complexities of polyamory.
Open-minded: We embody open-mindedness and empathy, for self and others. We foster a culture of open-minded understanding and empathy, recognizing that polyamory is a deeply personal journey, and we respect one another’s choices and experiences.
Respect for Self/Others: We treat ourselves and others with respect and dignity. We encourage respectful, open, and honest dialogue, ensuring that differing perspectives are acknowledged and discussed with empathy, civility, and honesty.
Thoughtful: We engage in all collaborations, communications, and conversations through a thoughtful lens, acknowledging impact on others and pursuing positive and supportive intent.
Human: We are first and foremost HUMAN. We acknowledge the humanity in ourselves and others and do not to shame others for their experiences or challenges. We acknowledge that we are not experts and we are far from perfect in navigating our worlds of non-monogamy.
Supportive: We engage in all communications with the goal of being supportive and loving towards one another, lifting each other up and challenging one another from a place of support and mutual growth.
Transformative: We aim to seek transformative experiences for ourselves and others through mutual investment and personal growth, challenging each other to heal through our shared experiences.
Accountability and Acknowledgement: We err, we fail, we fuck up. We can acknowledge that fucking up is normal and we can and will hold ourselves accountable to BE better.
Reflective and Realistic: We understand that relationships are spaces in which we are both harmed and healed. We hold space for ourselves and others to heal through our mutual experiences by embodying self-reflection and holding realistic and healthy perceptions of self and others.
Relatable Stories: We aim to share relatable, real-life experiences and narratives from individuals practicing polyamory, ensuring that humans feel seen, heard, and understood. These stories help to highlight the challenges, triumphs, and everyday adventures of polyamorous relationships.
Resources: We share our wealth of resources, from books and podcasts to support groups and online communities, to help each other on our polyamorous journeys, whether we are just starting or are well-versed in polyamory.
Chosen Family: We encourage one another to engage with a vibrant community and chosen family to share our thoughts, questions, and experiences, and benefit from the collective wisdom and support of the diverse polyamorous community.
