So a (gay) grad student friend of mine has been going through a spiritual phase, and got invited to some spiritual exploration group at some person's apartment downtown, though the Unity or Unitarian or whatever church he's been going to.
He went there, and he said it was mostly gay polyamorists, and instead of any sort of discussions or whatever, which was what he was expecting, they instead sat in a big long circle and did "heartweaving", where you stared intently into the guy opposite you's eyes for several minutes, then everyone shifted positions to the left, and you did that till everyone had looked into each other's eyes.
"Then what happened?", I was like.
"Oh," he was like, "I thought that was an icebreaker, and then we were going to do something really awesome, but then they were like, 'OK, potluck, everyone!'", and we just sat around and ate."
I also was telling him how I've been reading up on neopaganism and polyamory lately, and he said that everyone he's ever known who's done that has pretty much been a sex addict.
He also said he was in a coffee shop in the middle of the afternoon once when there was this old daddy guy interviewing a new "boy", and the daddy started quizzing him on that "Ethical Slut" book I'm reading (and which was recommended to me by the people at that sec doc series I go to as a classic polyamorist touchstone).
