Toronto Cuddle Party - June!

Location

Liberty Village | Toronto, ON

A special community event for those wanting a safe space to relax, cuddle and connect!
About this Event

We are so excited to be hosting our next cuddle party!

During these events, we will lead you all through some fun warm-up exercises. A soft cool-down towards the end will help us collect ourselves post cuddle puddle ✨

There will be two main rooms for cuddling, but don’t be surprised to see cuddlers in the hallways, on the walls and on the ceilings. For those who want some solo time or a quiet space, we have the solo zone to sit down in and zen out.

 All three rooms will be filled with plush pillows, comfy blankets, heartwarming music and gentle lighting to provide a calm, nourishing environment for all your cuddly needs.

So come one, come all, bring that cuddle buddy, meet new ones, and be merry!

Cost:

Admission cost is $40/person or $60/two people.

You are welcome to pay here or through e-transfer in order to avoid the Eventbrite charges: [email protected].

If covid restrictions come to prevent us from running the cuddle party, you will be refunded the paid amount (hopefully this won't be happening again!). You will also be refunded if you cancel more than 48 hours in advance. Those that cancel within 48 hours will receive a 50% refund.

Plan:

4pm: Arrivals and check-in

4:15pm: Opening circle, review of guidelines, icebreakers

4:45pm: Doors close, cuddle time begins

6:45pm: Closing circle

Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time.
