Wendy-O Matik Spreads the Radical Love this Thursday

Posted on February 1st, 2010 in AK Distribution, Happenings

I’m willing to wager that most readers of this blog have read or at least heard tell of Wendy-O Matik’s classic guide, Redefining Our Relationships. This is a book we’ve carried a number of years, and sent out countless copies of. It’s clear that a lot of people out there are interested in building more equitable, open, free and, really, radical relationships.

Luckily for all of you out there (or at least all of you in the Bay Area), Wendy will be joining us here at the AK Press warehouse this Thursday, February 4th starting at 7pm. She’ll be giving one of her radical love workshops, followed by an inclusive group discussion.

“Building on her feminist critique of love and relationships, Wendy presents the major concepts and challenges that we face trying to re-invent our relationships outside the dominant social paradigm. Radical love is the freedom to love whom you want, how you want, and as many as you want, so long as personal integrity, respect, honesty, and consent are at the core of any and all relationships. Radical love primarily focuses on love and intimacy, not sex and sexual conquest. At the heart of this work are three components: feminism, social activism, and revolution. The workshop is followed by a discussion and intended to create a non-judgmental support group.”
