Miss
Jane,
M.Ed.,

habitats. Her eclectic professional
background includes practicing marriage and
family therapy, facilitating communication

experiences and post-grad study in health

She has led workshops
over the last 17 years on a variety of topics, including
parenting skills, healing through patterned breathing and
developing global consciousness. She is currently
writing a book about cultivating spiritual awareness
through sexuality, with an emphasis on insights earned
from recent immersion in the kink arena.
Jane has aligned
philosophically with the polyamorous lifestyle for almost
30 years. She lives ecstatically in a triad with her
husband of 11 years and a woman she has known for over 20
years. She also enjoys her ongoing spirit-expanding
and multi-dimensional relationship with Master Rex.
Wilton Joneshas been
taking intimate photographs of people since 1992. In his
newest work he is documenting the more intimate, normally
private, erotic side of people, as individuals, as couples, and
in extended poly families. He and his partner, Sue, have

software companies, spent time on a sailboat and raised three
children over the 30+ years they have been journeying together.

still in college,
but it failed due to jealousies and
old-style thinking. He later moved to

lifestyle paper of that time.
He moved to Minnesota and became
involved with several people in
undefined Poly relationships.

Beach, California, where he enjoys
loving relationships and exploring how
love can help relationships grow rather
than limiting individual’s potentials.
Janet
Kira Lessin,
P.T.S.,
Director & CEO of the World Polyamory
Association, the School of Tantra and the World
Peace Association leads seminars and
conferences with a focus on the fields of tantra, psychology, relationships, polyamory,
UFOlogy, ancient anthropology, alternative
realties, speculative theories, physics and
peace. Janet has devoted her life to the
healing of the planet. She realizes true
healing originates within each individual and
expands by the power of love till it envelopes
all humanity.
She is convinced that
through workshops and conferences like the ones
she leads, conferences that focus on evolution
and spiritual growth ,combined with personal
introspection, reflection and a commitment by
individuals to take responsibility and heal,
humanity can transform and create a civilized
civilization that respects consciousness in all
its diversity. This new paradigm of a
conscious society honors individuality and
creative expression. The paradigm includes
creativity through relationships.
Relationships are a high spiritual path for
growth and transformation--unlike sexual
repression which leads to violence.
Humankind needs to honor individual choice in
regards to sex to evolve to its highest
potential, transcend violence and end war.
Polyamory is a positive, passionate path to
peace.

and have appeared on numerous radio shows.
They live in Maui, Hawaii, have an active
therapy practice and school where they teach
tantra, counseling and relationships. They
travel frequently to reach a larger audience,
teach and help those in need.
Janet has written a personal account of her life

Poly Tantric Lovestyle: A Personal Account
(available in the author's edition) .
Sasha Lessin,
