Showtime does Polyamory!



Polyamory: Married and Dating Season Premiere on Showtime, Thrus. 11pm, July 12th, 2012

     This revolutionary new Docu-series follows the lives of two polyamorous families: "Kamala Devi and Michael have been married for 10 years and are the proud parents of a five-year-old son. The couple currently identifies 12 other lovers - some they share and some they don't. Devoted to expanding their family, they are inviting two of their lovers, married couple Jen and Tahl, to move in with them."
     Also, "Lindsey and Anthony, are grad students based in Los Angeles who have been married for four years. In the premiere episode, the duo is reconnecting with their primary girlfriend of the past two years, Vanessa, who desperately wants a formalized commitment from her polyamorous triad."
    The series was created by Natalia Garcia and Janice Stango for producers BermanBraun.  Working with the
director, Natalia Garcia was a rich learning experience, for me. She is a spiritually minded woman of vision, who is committed to women's liberation and conflict resolution. The polyamorous community is blessed to have an ally in Hollywood who is not afraid of sex, nor obsessed by it either.
    Yes. This is a sexually explicit, adult content show. And the sex scenes tastefully and truthfully depict long term relationships making love in various combinations. We artfully show and frankly discuss lesbian sex, threesomes, foursomes and more!  The show is also family oriented, and focuses on communication, conflict resolution and above all, LOVE. 
      For details, or to watch the trailer go to Showtime's official website.http://www.sho.com/sho/polyamory-married-and-dating/home
     The San Diego Cast will be hosting a party to watch the World Premiere at Harbin Hotsprings at 10pm on July 12th. We will the keynote speakers at the World Polyamory Conference on July 13 & 14. We look forward to seeing you there.  For details about the World Poly Conference. 


            We will also be throwing a San Diego Premiere party at Victory Theater Downtown San Diego on July 28th and will have a Q & A afterwards with Director Natalia, Lindsey and Anthony and Vanessa and the San Diego family! Details about our Polyamory: Married and Dating Premiere Party in San Diego will be posted onhttp://www.kamaladevi.com/events


Thanks for all your love and support through this amazing project!
All my love,
Kamala Devi and Family.

I've been dying to tell you...


We are going to be on TV! 

 The reason you haven't heard from me for a while is because I've been eyeballs deep in one of the most exciting projects of my life!

During the last three months, my husband Michael and lovers, Jennifer and Tahl have been working on a ground breaking Docu-seris that will be airing this summer.

I cant tell you the title of the show and which network, until it has been officially announced next week, but I want you to save the date for the San Diego launch party!

You are invited to come and celebrate our official cast party on July 28th We are going to rent out the downtown Victory Theater and watch a couple of recorded episodes and then we will do a Q & A with the director and Cast. Mark your calendar for 6:45pm on July 28th.
This project has stretched me my families to the limits.
Frankly, it has been the most profound personal growth experience of my life.

Through Tantra Theater I have found that one of the best ways to process and decompress is to turn our personal experience into ART.  So my lovers and I are in the process of creating a LIVE performance art show to share more of our personal narratives.  We hope you'll join us at the next San Diego Tantra Theater Performance on July 6th & 7th...Go to:The Polyamory Show.

And we are FINALLY resuming our exciting calendar of tantra events, starting tonight! I miss my tantra/poly family, and hope to see you soon.

 Love,
Kamala Devi
P.S. We will also be celebrating the world premier at the World Polyamory Conference at Harbin Hotsprings next month...Please join us.

Polyamory+Radar=Polydar!

April 19th, 2012

Today on Twitter: "POLYDAR" N. the intuitive gift of observing someones non verbal behavior and determining their capacity to conduct honest multiple loving relationships. 

Let it be known around the universe that "Polydar" is a conjugation of the words "Polyamory" and "Radar." Much like Gaydar or Spiderman's "Spidy" sense, the new term is used to refer to the intuitive gift of detecting someone's inclination or capacity to be in multiple loving relationships with the consent of everyone involved. 

Can you help me think of any other sentences to illustrate "Polydar" in context: 

1. My Polydar went off as soon as that triad walked through the door.
2. I know she's married but my Polydar tells me there's something more going on.
3. Whenever I go to a cuddle partyTM it really puts a wrench in my polydar. 
4. My lover Tahl has an overzealous Polydar and thinks everyone is poly. 
5.  My polydar is spot on and I can sniff a poly person from ten paces away. 

Help us spread the word by using it with friends and family and re-tweeting this post.  I am sending it to wikipedia and after it gets published twice we can also submit it to the written dictionaries. 


(And if this word comes up on your screen with a little red line under it, please edit your spell check and add it to your dictionary!)

Tantra Sutras & Poly Proverbs by Kamala Devi for Spring equinox 2012

ON LIFE
• In the absence of impatience, the fullness of the moment is realized.
• I delight in the precious moment in which we stop looking and start seeing.
• Being a courageous YES to life is an experience earned through valuing each No.
• This is my daily workout: I rush up to the edge of what I know about myself and push.
• I've heard this story before, I may know it well, but please go on, I've never heard it from you.

ON TRUE NATURE/SELF INQUIRY
• I yearn to see you beyond my own projections.
• I am the one who chooses whether to act from ego, instinct, conditioning, or love.
• Confidence is knowing I can handle anything; acceptance is knowing that it can handle itself.
• I'm rolling over to show you my tender underbelly, not because you showed me yours...but just because, this is me.
• Who am I beyond a figment of my imagination or an aspect of my personality.
• Holding space is listening for who you are, regardless of the words and tone and gestures…who are you beyond all that.
• People who do things because the unseen voices told them to can be considered certifiably crazy, yet, I don't have a better reason for what I do.
• It's not that you wake up one day and say "Who's writing this script?" and then re-write the whole story, it's something we must practice a little everyday.
• To lose sight of the divine, when you are as devotional as I am, can be blinding, but it's not nearly as bewildering as an atheist who starts to suspect that God existed behind his eyelids all along.
• Trying NOT to be in my ego is sometimes the most ego activating choice I make.
• Is it possible to be real, and look good?

ON SEX
• Before enlightenment chop wood carry water. After tantric enlightenment sport wood, squirt water.
• You can be mysterious at times, and even surprise your lover with the unexpected, but the biggest secret to great sex is having no secrets.
• I cultivate quiet passion by never speaking of my perverted fantasies, this practice does not, however, stop me from occasionally hinting, or playing them out.
• Sex with someone you don't know is good, sex with someone you know is great, and sex with someone that is ultimately unknowable is god.
• My spectacular day was one fuck short of perfect!

ON LOVE
• I am always with you, yet simultaneously missing you.
• My devotion to you is all-consuming, ultimately it will devour your distrust of me.
• Your touch short circuits all my defenses, but can I really trust you with my tender heart?
• Your seductive moves have lost their charm on me, now I am only interested in merging with the one that is moving.
• I'm glad you don't desire me just for my mind, because I suddenly get stupid when you walk into the room.

• What good are words in the company of your beauty? I'd be better off trying to describe silence.
• I dreamt I was connecting with you, and then I woke up and the connection didn't go away, nor did the dream.


ON POLY.
• We do.
• Enjoy extra-marital bliss.
• When I talk with the beloved, it's heart-to-heart-to-heart...
• As a self appointed rep. for the poly community, I am intent on making mistakes other people can learn from.
• Rather than a wife, after 10 years of marriage, I prefer to think of myself as a perpetual lover.
• Despite the rumors, I am not anti-marriage. I cherish mine so much that I want to incorporate another married couple (and their two dogs) into my nuclear household.
• They say it's better to have two kids than one: they learn to share better, take care of each other, they don't get spoiled and the love is exponential. Why doesn't this household wisdom apply to lovers as well?
• As a bisexual woman, the way I see it, if I were monogamous, I'd be missing out on half the fun.
• If we appreciate humans are as unique as snowflakes, why are we still so envious of each other?
• Maintaining multiple lovers is a pleasure too great to be reserved for just royal families, mormons and professional golfers.
• Multiple partners equals multiple personalities, multiple perspectives, multiple orgasms and multiple expansion!
• If you're idea of romance is adoring someone to the exclusion of all others, I prefer you find someone else to adore.
• I wish I could walk down the streets proudly holding hands with all my lovers, but the sidewalks simply aren't wide enough.
• What's so damn subversive about loving more than one person without lying or hurting anyone else?
• I may not be able to maintain meaningful relationships with all 7 billion people on this planet, but by loving all my lover's lovers, I am a bit closer.
• I only partially agree with George Michael: Sex is natural - sex is fun, but I'm not sure it's best when it's....one on one.
• Polyamory is not the same as promiscuity. Yes, some people are both, and I celebrate their personal preference, just as I celebrate prudes who practice polyamory.
• I admit the poly community may be a bit insestuous, but I enjoy making love with my lover's lovers and wonder why fucking the family gets such a bad wrap!?
• One of my lovers turns me upside dow, another one inside out, several send me spinning, but you are my northward pole who gives order to all my adventure.


ON MAGIC
• There is magic in every moment, but especially in the ones where we meet.
• I've never experienced an unanswered prayer, they are just not answered YET, or WILDLY surpassed!
• There is a certain magic that pervades the space between our bodies...and for my next act, we're going to make it disappear.
• Waking life is so unbelievable, random people often pinch me to see if I'm for real.
• Miracles happen so often that I just expect them, or maybe, it is the other way around?

ON ART  AND CREATIVITY
• Shooting erotica brings new meaning to the word: Action!
• The most illuminating poetry arises out of self pleasure; 'tis a pity my hands are too engaged to wield a pen..
• Anticipating my connection with you, uplevels the conversation in my head.
• My sexual impulse and creative inspiration are so aroused in your presence, it's a shame to untangle them.
• When it comes to worship, talk is usually worthless, but your words fill me like the sweet scent of a burnt offering.
• Your wordless depths make my passion eloquent.
• Of all the plentiful forms of worship, I usually find talking fruitless, but a few words from you have scattered like seeds in my heart, and proliferated my soul.
• If Shakespeare were alive to day, he might say: "All the world is a Reality Show."
• When doing an on-camera interview, remember: There's no such thing as a stupid question...only stupid answers.
• Did you know there's a little red light on a movie camera that lights up like a clit when it's turned on ;)

ON MOTHERHOOD
• 5 years ago, a little piece of my heart ripped out of my yoni and started to beat on it's own. Happy Birthday, Devin.
• When asked what he wanted to be when he grows up, Devin says: Everything, like my dad.

• Tucking Devin (5) in to bed last night I say: Sweet Dreams, Darlin'.
Devin: I have a whole box of dreams some of them are good, but some of them are nightmares. Don't worry, whichever one I pick, I'm going to be OK.
Mom: Speechless kiss on the forehead.

• Devin: I know what's really inside every church.
Mom: You do? How do you know?
Devin: Because I'm a kid, and all kids know about church.
Mom: Tell me, what's really inside?
Devin: Boring stuff.
Mom. Oh.

• Devin (5) says: Did you know that if you don't have drumsticks and you want to play the drum, you could always use crayons or colored pencils? Did you know that?

• On the way to pre-school, Devin stuck his head out the window today and said: "I'm so glad there is stuff on this planet. It would be so boring if there was nothing here to play with."
