Of all our manifold ways to communicate and keep in touch, nothing compares to meeting with others in the real world.
I am an experienced group facilitator/leader, and offer a variety of workshops, Meetups, salons and seminars for like-minded people to gather, exchange, and socialize.
Please contact me if you’re looking for a leader/facilitator.
Open Relationship Salon
We have had our first Salon – and it was a very enjoyable evening. Please stay tuned for a new Salon about Open Relationships, which will be co-hosted with my wife, in the New Year, 2013.
A salon is a facilitated discussion group in an intimate setting.
Next Date: The New Year, 2013
Time: 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.
About the Salon
Join Mark & Lianna for an interactive evening (discusson + exercises) about the joys (and pitfalls!) of opening a relationship.
We will discuss such topics as:
- what it means to be open
- dealing with jealousy
- taking the first steps
- the many types and levels of open relationships
- how to meet others
These are just a few of the topics covered. We will also be answering questions and sharing our personal experiences.
About Us
After 15 years of monogamous marriage, Mark and Lianna decided to open their relationship. This decision was partially precipitated by Mark’s bisexuality, but ultimately the couple wanted more from their relationship – and each other.
They are now on the fourth year of their experiment. Both of them have been surprised by the positive changes which have resulted within them individually, and between them as a couple.
Their love is deeper, sex is more passionate, their social circle wider, their lives filled with more excitement and adventure.
Ongoing
BiFocus
I am the facilitator for BiFocus, a bisexual social/support group run by Qmunity, BC’s queer resource centre.
BiFocus takes place on the last Monday of every month.
Gatherings are held at the Qmunity Annex, 7 p.m., #610 – 1130 Davie Street, just across from Celebrities.
Contact Mark with any questions about this group.
Meetups I Organize

Bisexuals in Vancouver
This is a Meetup I began to discuss issues around bisexuality. I have been combining this group with Qmunity’s BiFocus group. I’m looking to expand the meetings to bi-monthly, seeing as how we’re bisexual and all.
Open Marriage Vancouver
A new group where like-minded people can meet.
Seminars retuning in the New Year
The Joys of Roleplay: A Sexy Way to Deepen Intimacy and Improve Your Relationship
Join Gabrielle & Marco (our roleplay names – more on this during the seminar!) for an evening of exploration into the many ways that roleplay can enhance your sex life. G&M have been partners in crime for the past 18 years; they’ve kept their relationship fresh and their sex life sizzling by playing out their wildest fantasies together.
Find out how to take the first few steps toward creating fulfilling fantasies of your own, bringing your sex life to places you never thought you’d dare.
G&M use their own experiences to highlight the topics covered, which include finding the right attitude; opening to your own turn-ons; learning to share inner desires with a partner; preparing the scene; tips to making it as tantalizing as you’ve envisioned.
Testimonial:
“Gabrielle and Marco’s workshop on roleplaying made me feel very comfortable and confident with my sensual self; my dreams and desires. I felt ready to open up and play right away!” Alyssa
