Open Conversations for Open Relationships
Honest conversations. Shared experiences. Stronger connections.
What is Real Talk: Reconnected?
Some of the most meaningful conversations at KNetic don't happen on the dance floor. They happen when we sit down together and talk honestly about relationships, connection, and the realities of ethical non-monogamy.
Over the years, those conversations grew into something more. What began as casual chats and one-off discussion nights became a space where members could share experiences, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another.
Now we're ready to reconnect again!
Real Talk: Reconnected brings our monthly conversation series back to KNetic Calgary South with a fresh season of open, thoughtful discussions about the real work behind open relationships.
We'll explore communication, trust, boundaries, agreements, jealousy, insecurity, emotional safety, relationship expectations, and the many ways we create healthy connections outside of traditional relationship scripts.
Each session has its own topic and guided conversation, giving us room to hear different perspectives and learn from the experiences around us. You don't need to be an expert, and you never have to share more than you're comfortable sharing. Listening is participating too.
Come to one session or join us throughout the season. Each conversation stands on its own, but together they create an opportunity to learn, reflect, grow, and reconnect with our community.
Whether you're part of the lifestyle community, a swinger, polyamorous, practicing another form of ethical non-monogamy, opening a relationship, or simply ENM-curious, there is a place for you in the conversation.
Everyone is welcome.
All genders, all sexualities, all relationship styles, all experience levels.
There is no charge for this KNetic Community Event. Please RSVP to hold your spot.
The KNetic Bar will be open. No outside food or beverages allowed.
Your Hosts
Neal & Roo
This season also marks a bit of a homecoming. After taking a year away from Real Talk, KNetic owner Neal is returning to the conversation and is ready to reconnect with the community, revisit some familiar topics, and explore where the conversation takes us next.
Joining Neal this season is Roo, one of our KNetic Hosts, bringing back his voice, perspective, and lived experience to the circle.
Together, Neal and Roo will guide each month's conversation while leaving plenty of room for the most important voices in Real Talk: yours.

Foundations & Challenging Norms
We're starting this season where every good conversation about ethical non-monogamy should begin: with the foundations.
What brings us to ENM? What are we hoping to create in our relationships? And how much of what we've been taught about love, sex, commitment, jealousy, and partnership have we ever actually stopped to question?
Together, we'll explore the foundations of ethical non-monogamy and look at how monogamy-normativity, heteronormativity, and traditional relationship expectations can shape the way we think about connection.
This isn't about deciding that one relationship style is better than another. It's about recognizing the scripts we've inherited, deciding what still serves us, and giving ourselves permission to write something that fits our own lives and relationships.
