Making Friends with Jealousy I & II (or Ethical Slut I & II)
Wherever
you learned how to be jealous, and whatever you have been taught about
how jealousy ought to be, you can unlearn. The real secret of polyamory
is that jealousy is not carved in stone, but amenable to growth and

communicating about and working with whatever that complex of emotions

into ownership of your jealousy while you learn to take care of
yourself in a kindly and loving manner if you feel jealous. You can
immediately apply the jealousy unlearning skills as you meet emotional
challenges of new friendships at the conference.
