Community Cuddles with Mare

Join me at Community Cuddles with Mare where you can relax in a welcoming environment and feel connected to yourself and a sweet group of people. All genders and orientations - individuals, groups and couples - are all welcome.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS - To keep our events safe, here are our health requirements for attendance: do not attend if you are feeling sick or have closely been around someone who is sick. If you are sick you can get a refund from the host or a slot at another event.

Community Cuddles with Mare is a guided social experience that includes a welcome circle, easy relaxation activities, communication exercises and a description of cuddle etiquette. The event culminates in a "cuddle laboratory." Touch is always consensual and never a requirement to participate.

At CCwM, you may experience an increased sense of well being and belonging, a boost in compassion and playfulness, a decrease in blood pressure and a better night's sleep.

Community Cuddles with Mare provides opportunities to meet new friends, connect with partners and pals in a soulful new way and be part of a warm, safe and huggable tribe. My events are accessable for all, meaning that if you don't want to get up and down from the floor, you don't have to! There are lots of surfaces to lie and sit on and there is elevator access.

Your hostess, Mare ~

I am a certified Cuddlist and I can be booked for individuals or couples cuddling. This work is very important to me and for more than seven years I have provided safe, platonic touch in the San Gabriel valley area of Los Angeles. My style is motherly nurturance and acceptance. These cuddle events are the brainchild of Cuddle Sanctuary and follow the safe container protocols that I learned when I trained and certified to lead Community Cuddles with Mare with Jean Franzblau.

Info: Dress in clothes that are comfortable for snuggling. Soft, cozy pajamas, cotton t-shirts, sweatpants, leggings are all welcome. Tank tops and shorts are okay for the warmer weather. Feel free to change clothes when you arrive. Hygiene is important at cuddles - be squeaky clean and minty fresh - it's easier to get close that way! (Note: come free of perfumes, colognes, body spray, and cigarette smoke. Some of us have sensitive noses - thanks!)

Info: These guidelines are like the “etiquette of cuddling." We’ll go over all of them and answer any questions you have during the workshop. Here are some important ones: Keep attendance confidential (unless given permission). There’s no touch required (and you can change your mind at any time). Respect the boundaries of others (ideally with enthusiasm). Keep activities at a Rated G level and conversation at PG-13. Ask and Wait - if you want to touch someone, ask. Then wait for the answer.

Info: You are welcome to bring a pillow or blanket - stuffies, sleeping bags, all are welcome. You are also welcome to bring a healthy snack or drink to share (no alcohol, please). Light snacks and water will be provided
