What exactly is a Cuddle Party?

Cuddle Party is a 3-hour workshop experience where participants engage in communication exercises, explore touch in a non-sexual space, experience personal exploration and intimacy, and have fun with like-minded friends from the community.

Nurturing and consensual loving touch is good for maintaining healthy blood pressure, a strong nervous system, and a balanced emotional health. One’s ability to connect with and develop greater trust in others is emphasized during the group exchanges during Cuddle Parties. Self-care is a cornerstone of Cuddle Party experience.

Cuddle Party is a formal, non-sexual event that offers participants an opportunity to explore intimacy with like-minded others. In a relaxed environment that upholds personal boundaries and maintains a professional atmosphere at all times, one is encouraged to engage in communication and touch in a non-threatening, share-affirming setting.

Cuddle Party is a holistic, social environment, that attracts fascinating people from all walks of life. It provides a special and unique opportunity for connection, learning, and growth. Come cuddle with us!

About Cuddle Party

Cuddle Party experiences teach participants that they alone create their own safety container. How did it change my life? When I was growing up and received a NO, it felt like I was being rejected. The result was my emphasis on being nice, being lovable, and being unconditionally available. The profound learning came when I realized my unyielding YES’s became a subconscious inability to trust another person’s YES without their own personally vocalized NO!

I am very appreciative and honored by the courage shown by those who have clear boundaries and an ability to voice their YES and NO decisions without guilt, shame, or fear. It gives me the confidence to ask for what my own heart desires instead of censoring myself, knowing the receiver of my request has the voice and courage to embrace or withdraw based on their own perimeters. “Thank you for taking care of yourself.”
