The Human Potential Center is committed to helping people choose ways of living that are in keeping with who they are and what they desire for their lives. For some people, that means choosing conventional careers, relationship styles and spiritual paths, whereas for others it means choosing alternative career paths, lifestyles and spiritualities. We support people choosing any approach that respects other people and increases the creativity, love and playfulness in the world.

Thus, we do not merely tolerate alternative lifestyles such as gay, lesbian and polyamory, we actively encourage them, in the same way we actively encourage people to be heterosexual and monogamous if that is who they truly are. We respect each individual as a unique human being, and we believe that everyone must find their own personal growth path. We believe in tolerance and in supporting each person to truly follow their heart, regardless of whether that means choosing a conventional or an alternative approach to life.

Even though the Center is not about polyamory or any other alternative lifestyle, it turns out that several of the people involved with the Center are polyamorous. The founder and director of the Center, Robert McGarey, M.A., happens to be one of those people. He has been poly for about 30 years. During that time he has learned a great deal about the challenges poly presents to individuals, couples and groups, as well as the many rewards that can be received from loving more than one person at a time.

In addition to serving as Executive Director for the Center, Bob also offers Personal Growth Sessions designed to help clients grow and communicate more effectively. He particularly enjoys working with poly clients, because he believes that they are the pioneers who are creating new possibilities for more powerful ways to love during the coming century.

Bob has presented literally thousands of workshops and classes over the years on topics ranging from Self-Esteem and Assertiveness to Career Testing and Dreams. He has also offered numerous workshops at national poly conferences, and is author of the Poly Communication Survival Kit.
