• Thu, Apr 18 - New York

***PLEASE NOTE: These events do fill up fast and do sell out every time. Make sure to get your ticket in advance as we sadly had to turn away several people at the door last time due to capacity.***

The first hour will be a workshop on consent and communication. We will discuss the rules of cuddling, play games, and practice saying Yes and No. This will include an opportunity to state boundaries and set intentions.

In the second part we will open the space to "Freestyle" cuddling. Here you will be invited to explore with your fellow Cuddle Monsters and practice the skills you learned during the workshop. You will have a safe space to ask for what you want and negotiate with others to find connection that is mutually supportive.

Possibilities Include:

• Massages
• Head Scratching
• Spooning
• Watching/observing
• Saying "No" to everything
• Talking
• Dancing
• Holding hands
• Napping
• Hugs
• Reading a book

Conscious, consensual, non-sexual touch possibilities are endless.

You can expect to experience a deeper sense of connection that can sometimes lead to new friendship, personal insights/awareness, feelings of belonging, tears or laughter.

• Bring your curiosity, playfulness, and sense of adventure.
• Please wear clothing that is cozy, clean, comfy, and helps you feel relaxed. There will be space to change when you arrive.
• You are encouraged to bring your favorite pillow or blanket. Stuffed animals are also very welcome.
• There will be some light snacks provided. Please consider bringing something to share.
