Synopsis
Why this support group exists: Frank Kermit believes that each of us is alive to contribute to make the world a better place. He also believes that loving relationships help make the world a better place. It brings peace, fights addictions, encourages the best in children, and evolves the human species to higher levels of greatness. At the heart of the best loving relationshipd are the Emotional Needs of each individual being addressed, and even at your best, you are still only part of the relationship. So being at your personal best is half the battle. Learning to choose the best relationship partners for you is the other part. Be part of the Frank Relationship Revolution, so that together we can end the stigma against non-monogamy. Want a solid-non-monogamous relationship? If you wanted to learn to build, maintain and excel at the best loving relationships of your life, then have I got the support for you. Frank Kermit teaches people how to address their Emotional Needs for loving relationships (all forms of relationship structures) What you do to find love is what you do to KEEP love. The focus will be on managing multiple on-going open relationships with an emphasis on long-term relationship success. This makes love more predictable and removes any need to rely on luck.
This weekly support group will be presented each week in one of three ways:
1-The first half is dedicated to a particular topic of the week (i.e. How to handle your current relationship, when your partner is going through a break up with another partner). And after the intermission, open the floor to anyone that has a pressing problem to ask the group for advice.
2-Right from the beginning of the first half of the meeting, each person gets 5-7 minutes either to ask for help on something they are going through or share some info of interest to people in the support group. When the group gives advice, there will also be a time limit for any one person. Discussions not finished can involve the people talking in private after the support meeting.
3-A guest speaker (author, lawyer, or person with experience) comes to speak and field questions. This likely will not happen often, but with the weekly set up already in place, it would be easier to schedule and arrange. Depending on the cost of the guest speaker (if there is one) there may be admission or a higher requested donation.
