Polygamy: The Myth, the Math, and the Magic

Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking webinar where we explore the often misunderstood world of polygamy through cultural, spiritual, and ecological lenses. This conversation goes beyond surface assumptions—especially the oversexualized lens often rooted in patriarchal interpretations—and dives into the deeper systems of balance, communication, and ancestral wisdom that sustain healthy polygamous relationships.

Together, we’ll unpack the myths, particularly those tied to religion and Western misconceptions that reduce polygamy to mere sexual access or male dominance. We’ll explore the math—not just the challenges that arise when leadership is absent or when men fail to uphold their responsibilities, but also the equations that do work: when men, with the support and wisdom of women, cultivate communities where emotional, spiritual, and material needs are met, and everyone is positioned to thrive. And we’ll celebrate the magic—the deep, often unseen beauty that emerges when women communicate, collaborate, and co-create spaces of balance, harmony, and collective growth.

Our featured guests bring unique insight: Samantha Winship, a beekeeper and educator, will speak on natural patterns of partnership among animals - particularly the Queen Bee and the drones who serve her - highlighting what nature teaches us about communal balance. Priestess Oyabunmi will share her personal experience growing up in a polygamous family, reflecting on the structure, challenges, and spiritual strength of the system when rooted in trust and intention.

This webinar is especially powerful for women, mature and emerging, who are curious, questioning, or seeking grounded wisdom on love, family, and spiritual systems outside the mainstream. Come with an open mind and leave with fresh perspective.

Finally, this is a fundraiser for the IIASK Inc. temple buildout. We have made significant progress and we are currently working on the plumbing systems, and cultivating the land surrounding the temple to make sure members can take full advantage of what the land provides.
