Consensual Cuddles: Group Cuddle

?? QTBIPOC KIN + ALLIES ??

Join us in a cozy learning experience as we explore platonic touch and cuddles in community at Vasa the Studio!

We will use an alchemy of well-tested consensual communication exercises to expand our capacities for platonic connection and play!

In this guided and experiential group session, you will learn and practice consensual cuddling skills, such as saying ‘no’ with self-compassion, exploring different cuddle positions, and sharing platonic touch with (self)trust.

Session Flow:

• opening circle
• somatic grounding
• consensual cuddling practice led by Jozelle
• reflection + discussion
• create your own cuddle adventure in community
• closing circle

While touch is very welcome, it is not required to participate. There will be spaces to process, chill alone, stim, witness, and take breaks.

There will also be space for platonic spoon trains, bear hugs, reading, journaling and much more ~
