Concord Cuddle Party!

About Cuddle Party:

We'll begin the event with a Welcome Circle where we introduce ourselves, go over the rules of Cuddle Party, and do some exercises to help practice the Rules of Cuddling. Following the Welcome Circle we’ll have a few hours for free-style cuddles. We’ll end with a short closing circle to reflect and transition out of the event. You do not have to cuddle at Cuddle Party. Feel free to bring a book, paper and markers, or just hang out and meet new like-minded people!
