Consent and Cuddles Workshop - Women & Femme

I can’t be the only woman who craves nurturing touch and human connection. That’s why I’m thrilled to bring another Consent & Cuddles event to the DMV— this time specifically for women and fem identifying. We will create a space where we can connect authentically and on a deeper level.

Who here learned about consent and boundaries? Who was taught to maintain agency over their body?

If you raise your hand, you are among the lucky few. The reality is that most people were never taught how to:

• Ask for the touch they want.
• Explore pleasurable sensations with confidence.
• Say “No” firmly and confidently without fearing rejection or worrying about hurting someone’s feelings.

What if I told you that you don’t have to carry the burden of someone else’s feelings? What if you could be fully present in your skin, in a space where your needs come first—free from guilt, judgment, or obligation?

This month’s Consent & Cuddles workshop is dedicated to Women/Femme folk. Together, we will create a space to comfortably share, listen, explore, and connect in safe, consensual, and loving ways.

What to Expect

During this workshop, we will:

1. Explore the principles of consent and boundaries.
2. Practice communication tools to navigate touch with confidence.
3. Engage in gentle, consensual touch exercises to foster connection.
4. Share experiences in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Schedule

12:00 PM – Arrival: come in, put down stuff, set out any sharable snacks, and get a feel for the space so you feel at ease and comfortable.

12:30 PM – Welcome Circle: the heart of our gathering. This is where we set the tone for the day by practicing boundary-setting and exploring how to communicate around consent. Whether or not you choose to participate in touch, this part is for everyone. You can maintain social distance if that feels best for you—no touch is ever required.

1:30 PM – Activities: cuddling, eye-gazing, partner stretching, ASMR, back rubs, polyvagal coregulation exercises, deep listening, synchronized breathing, hugs, honest communication, laughing, dancing, journaling, card game.

3:15 PM – Closing Circle: this is a time to reflect and connect one last time before we part ways. This is your chance to share insights, express gratitude, and highlight moments that stood out to you. If you’d like, you can also share announcements or appreciation. The Closing Circle is a warm and grounding way to bring the experience to a close and leave feeling supported and seen.
