Hearts on Fire: Handling New Relationship Energy Without Getting Burned

IN PERSON

July 24, 2026, 7:00 pm Central

New Relationship Energy (NRE) describes the thrilling emotions and infatuation experienced early in romantic bonds. We can feel euphoric and super-charged, but NRE comes with its own perils. We can ignore red flags, rush into commitments too fast, or experience BDSM frenzy.

This class examines what NRE is, its biological origins, common mistakes while in NRE, special considerations for BDSM and polyamorous relationships, and how to evolve from infatuation to lasting, authentic relationships.

What Now? Responding to Consent Injuries

ONLINE, Aug 16, 2026, 6:00 pm Eastern

We talk a lot about what consent is, and how to reach it, but consent injuries happen all the time. What happens after things go wrong, and a consent incident shakes up a person a couple, or a community?

This class will briefly touch on consent, then go beyond to examine how to best reach when a consent incident touches us. Let's consider how we handle it as a stranger, a friend, or an event host. We'll look at some recommending responses including caring for the harmed, incident reporting, and consequences.
