It offers natural healing waters (hot, warm and cold pools), miles of hiking trails, and a variety of workshops, classes and events every week.  Harbin is a clothes-optional facility.

     The Harbin poly conference includes interactive workshops on pair bonding, romantic love, multiple-partner sexuality and choreographing the dance of poly loving. There will be panel discussions, jealousy management experiments, opportunities for networking, a fun party and a many opportunities to experience living compersion–empathy for others' love-joy. 

We gather to celebrate diversity, creativity, freedom of expression and relationship choice.  We honor each person's right to chose love, follow their hearts and be who they truly are and not try to be what society dictates.  

Polyamorous folks are quite diverse in how we express our love.  We have a wide variety of relationship expressions: polyfidelity, polyandry, polygamy, open marriage, open marriage, vee relationships, group marriage, extended family, tribes, triads, foursomes, moresomes, intimate networks, community, poly-tantra, poly-swing, poly-pagan and on and on.   

All are honored as we gather as one to celebrate the individual and their need to group as they chose.  We explore our choices at our conferences as we create new paradigms for relationship choice to re-shape and heal the world.


World-Class Presenters share profound hands-on secrets that empower you for success in love, life, work and play.  You'll enjoy progressive, provocative, cutting-edge mind, body, spirit presentations and workshops that are fun, intimate, exciting, educational, healing and entertaining.  You'll network with like-minded people, enjoy moving and comical entertainment, develop close friendships, find new loves, dance and celebrate till dawn and create fond memories you'll never forget.
