Overview

Digestible snippets of advice and thought-provoking prompts on ethical nonmonogamy for every day of the year.

Polyamory can be fun, sweet and even liberating. But ethical nonmonogamy can also take work. In A Polyamory Devotional, relationship coach Evita “Lavitaloca” Sawyers streamlines the vast abstractions of “working on yourself” into a guided tour of rigorous self-reflection. Building upon her wealth of experience in fostering the journey from monogamy to nonmonogamy, Sawyers invites you to ask yourself the big questions. Can compersion and jealousy coexist? How do we hold space for hurt we didn’t cause? Through 365 daily prompts, you are encouraged to develop the tools of emotional diligence that will serve you for a lifetime. For those eager to love authentically but overwhelmed by the emotional process of polyamory, this is your reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.

“Empathetic, witty and engaging, A Polyamory Devotional is accessible to people new to polyamory, as well as those who are long-time nonmonogamists. Rather than telling people how they should be, it provides insights into Sawyers’s personal journey, tidbits of wisdom and questions to spur readers’ personal contemplations.”

writer of the Remodeled Love blog and co-author of Polyamory and Parenthood - Jessica Daylover

Reading through each page feels like a baptism to the parts of my soul that fear the dismantling of everything that nonmonogamy forces you to confront within yourself. This book is a true blessing, allowing the reader to have the guidance of Evita as a shepherd as they climb the proverbial mountain of polyamory.

"Ethical nonmonogamy takes doctorate-level relationship skills, and A Polyamory Devotional is an essential guide through this process. Through her challenges and missteps, Evita compassionately teaches us how to deal with hard feelings, navigate sovereignty, and open our hearts to love more than one person. These daily reflections provide not only the tools but the hope that we can all gain growth, unlearn harmful relationship beliefs and develop deeper self-awareness through the consensual nonmonogamy journey. The wisdom in this book deserves a Ph.D."

co-host of the Multiamory podcast and co-author of Multiamory: Essential Tools for Modern Relationships - Emily Sotelo Matlack

A Polyamory Devotional is as refreshingly authentic and thoughtful as the woman who wrote it. Reading through each day’s prompts felt like listening to a good friend tell you that they’ve been through the same struggles you are facing, while gently nudging you in the direction of self-reflection, introspection, and personal betterment. I found myself bookmarking specific prompts that reminded me of the things that needed work in my own relationships so I could return to them whenever I wanted a comforting reminder.
