Cuddle Party! 7pm-10:30pm

(Doors open at 6pm. Drive to the Park-n-ride and arrive by Cuddle Shuttle. You will receive further instruction when you register.)

Join us in the cuddle space as we gather for a consent workshop learning about and practicing our yes's, no's and negotiating. Then we go over the rules of cuddling before entering into nourishing touch time which we call 'freestyle cuddling'.

Suggested donation $30 (Space is limited to 25 people.)

(If funds are an issue please come anyway)

Let's go over expectations for the evening and what the event will look like, starting with the rules of cuddling. Going over these rules and abiding by them is what creates a safe environment, for everyone, to be at choice giving and receiving nourishing touch. We encourage you to use the rules in your life as well. Try it sometime. <3

THE RULES OF CUDDLING:

1) Pajamas stay on the whole time. (This is a nonsexual event, and clothes staying on is one of the ways we keep it that way.)

2) You don’t have to touch anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever.

3) You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone. (Be as specific in your request as you can.)

4) If you’re a yes, say YES. If you’re a no, say NO.

5) If you’re a maybe, say NO.

6) You are encouraged to change your mind.

7) Respect your relationship agreements and communicate with your partner.

8 ) Get your Facilitator or the Assistant if you have a question or concern or need assistance with anything during the event.

9) Tears and laughter are both welcome.

10) Respect people’s privacy. (When referring to Cuddle Party, please only talk about your own experience.)

11) Keep the Cuddle space tidy. (Please, no food in the cuddle space. Closed lid water bottles are allowed.)

HEALTH CHECK-IN: No Covid restrictions. Please do check in with yourself. If you are not feeling well please stay home and take care of yourself, and join us for the next cuddle party. :)

STARTING ON TIME: Once we begin the Welcome Circle, the door to the event is closed. This creates comfort and safety for everyone knowing that we are on the same page about rules and expectations.

CREATING THE CONTAINER: After the Welcome circle, we go over the ‘rules of cuddling’, which are listed below. This is how we create a safe environment, for everyone, to give and receive nourishing touch.

WHAT KIND OF TOUCH TO EXPECT: Massages, head scratching, spooning, watching/observing, learning about consent, talking, dancing, laughter, holding hands, napping, hugs, writing in a journal or reading a book, or no touch at all. Your choice. ?

WHAT TO WEAR: Loose comfortable clothing. Your favorite onsie, pajamas, sweatpants. Optional is a pillow, stuffed animal, favorite blanket if you like.

BRING A SNACK TO SHARE: This is a alcohol free/smoke free event. Juice or sparkling cider, and treats and snacks to share.

Any questions please send me a DM.

See you in the cuddle space. <3
