Active in the San Francisco Bay Area poly community
since 1996, Dawn & Akien have been serving as
relationship coaches since 1998, mentoring others to
create extraordinary relationships with their partners
and with themselves. Akien and Dawn have conducted
workshops on relationship development (including at the
last three West Coast Loving More conferences), and have
created study groups on personal growth, safer sex, and
various poly issues. They have been interviewed for
television on the subject of polyamory, with segments
appearing in Los Angeles and Sweden, and are the hosts
of the San Leandro Poly Pool Party. They have been
married for approaching 15 years, have two amazing
children, and are dedicated to creating intentional
extended family and community.
Dawn Davidson had her first conscious poly experience in
Georgia in 1984, and has gone on to experience many
varieties and forms of poly-dating -relating and
-loving. She holds a bachelor's degree in Genetics from
UC Berkeley, has visited Japan to sing with her Early
Music quartet (with whom she has sung for more than 20
years) and enjoys canning, costuming and cats, among her
many other interests. Making connections among people
and being a clearinghouse for information is something
she does on the same level as breathing.
has been poly for more than 20 years,
though he only found out there was a name for it 10
years ago. His progress in this field has been a direct
result of marrying. Primarily self-educated, he's avidly
pursued learning in many less-traditional ways,
including workshops on relationships and
self-development with Landmark Education, Dan Millman
and Lori Starr. His
wide-ranging interests include neurochemistry,
comparative religion, relationships, history, and
broadsword fighting. He believes that we're all our own
best teachers.

Les, and his wife Jan, have been together for
over 5 years. They met at a poly potluck
in Southern California and have been together
ever since. Les has always felt poly even
before he became aware of the word. He has
always experienced feelings for a number of
people and wondered why it was "not alright" to
love more then one person. He discovered
the word Polyamory on the internet in 1999 and
has been openly practicing that lifestyle since
then.
Les and Jan live
in a clothing optional resort in southeast
Orange County in Southern California.
