💙 About this event
Touch connects us. It's our first way of knowing we're safe, cared for and not alone.
Yet when was the last time you could explore touch for the sake of exploring touch ? When was the last time you could meet with new people, deepend existing relationship and learn new ways of being ?
Hi, I'm Marion, and I'm surrendering to my desire to offer a space where people can connect with their body and practise knowing what they want and how to ask for it — how to offer a graceful no, receive one, and simply melt into the warmth of cuddling. The event is held at my home, in a spacious living room with a comfy, large mat.
Event is limited to 12 participants.
Come get your dose of oxytocin!
💙 What is actually going on ?
Cuddle lab is a guided, non sexual, consent-based social event where adults practise communication, boundaries and platonic touch.
A typical session runs as follow : Welcome circle and rules, consent and communication exercises, guided connection games // open cuddle time, closing circle.
You never have to touch or be touched. Sitting out, watching, or taking a break is always welcome.
We are here to nurture honest human connection by:
- Creating opportunities to explore, learn and practise embodied communication;
- Supporting an inclusive community of practice; and
- Promoting accountability to bodily autonomy, self-determination and kindness.
BODY LED LAB & COMMUNICATION LAB
This is a body-led lab. Our society demands we be extremely head-centred, but that's not the only way to be and think— we can make decisions based on our body, our intuition, our heart, our sexual centre, our inner child, and more. And it's important to be able to do so to stay healthy and connected to life's flow.
This is a communication lab. Most of us have been taught to ignore our own needs and suppress our emotions. It takes practice to know what you and your body need and want and how to communicate about it. Touch and connection are valid needs and longing that deserve a space to be explored.
Everyone is welcome: the recovering people-pleaser, the touch-deprived, the overworked and overstressed, the touch enthusiast, the sensualist, the curious mind...
WHAT THIS IS NOT
It is not a dating or singles event. You may touch and connect with same gendered human.
💙 How it works
We start sharp at 6:30 — please arrive on time.
Once the welcome circle begins, we can't admit latecomers. This keeps everyone safe and ensures no one misses the foundations of the evening.
The night opens with a workshop where we connect with ourselves and each other, practise communication skills, and establish our shared agreements together.
There will be connection games, practice from the Wheel of consent by Betty Martin and other type of invitation to consensually play and connect.
The facilitator is present throughout to support anyone who feels overwhelmed, answer questions, and hold the container.
💙 The agreements
- This is a platonic event.
- You don't have to cuddle anyone — ever.
- Before touching anyone, ask permission and get a verbal yes. Be as specific as you can about what you're asking for.
- If you're a yes, say yes. If you're a no, say no. If you're a maybe, say no.
- You're always allowed to change your mind, even mid-cuddle.
- Find your facilitator if you have a question, a concern, or just need support. Your facilitator is available after the event to discuss anything.
- All of your emotions are welcome. Joy, sadness, grief, anger, fear, disgust - emotions are messengers. And we are trying to not divide emotions in the typical negative and positive perception.
- What happens here, stays here. Respect people's privacy, including any connections made during the event — there's no expectation or obligation to keep it going afterwards.
- Be kind. Be respectful. Use your words.
💙 What to bring
Yourself, water, and comfy clothes
Optional: a pillow or blanket if you like (we have plenty, but bring anything that helps you feel safe and good), snacks to share, a notebook.
Our events are substance and alcohol free. We provide some snacks, but please eat beforehand.

Marion Cardamome
