A.R.D.E.N.T Tucson (Alternative Relationship Dynamics in Emotionally Nurturing Tribes) is a local support group for couples and individuals (18-35) battling complex emotions in a predominantly monogamous society.

As humans, we are multi-faceted individuals that require many levels of stimulation that our partner may not be able to fully provide, thus the conclusion can be made that expecting and in many ways demanding your one and only to provide you with everything you require in life is not only unfair, but sometimes very unrealistic.

This group has been created to encourage exploration in the world of alternative relationship dynamics in its various forms (polyamory, honest and consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, etc.) Along the path one will experience and chart many emotional landscapes.

There tends to be numerous preconceived notions and negative connotations surrounding the terms polyamory, non-monogamy, and open relationships, thus the term alternative relationship dynamics tends to leave it open for the individual to explain their lifestyle and cultural decisions with minimal confusion.

Please join our honest and supportive community, as we overcome a myriad of difficult emotions. Together we will continue down a path of healing, compersion and unconditional love.
