About this Event
Have recent events left you feeling deprived of opportunities for touch?
Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, isolated, or alone?
Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no?
Do you struggle to ask for what you really want?
If any of this sounds like you or you are just curious then you are invited to pack your PJs, your favorite pillow, and a healthy snack to share and give yourself the gift of a Cuddle Party.

***PLEASE NOTE: These events do fill up fast and do sell out every time. Make sure to get your ticket in advance as we sadly had to turn away several people at the door last time due to capacity.***
What to Expect
The first hour will be a workshop on consent and communication. We will discuss the rules of cuddling, play games, and practice saying Yes and No. This will include an opportunity to state boundaries and set intentions.
In the second part we will open the space to "Freestyle" cuddling. Here you will be invited to explore with your fellow Cuddle Monsters and practice the skills you learned during the workshop. You will have a safe space to ask for what you want and negotiate with others to find connection that is mutually supportive.
Possibilities Include:
- Massages
- Head Scratching
- Spooning
- Watching/observing
- Saying "No" to everything
- Talking
- Dancing
- Holding hands
- Napping
- Hugs
- Reading a book
Conscious, consensual, non-sexual touch possibilities are endless.
You can expect to experience a deeper sense of connection that can sometimes lead to new friendship, personal insights/awareness, feelings of belonging, tears or laughter.
What to Bring- Bring your curiosity, playfulness, and sense of adventure.
