Holiday Hugs Cuddle Party

Cuddle Party is a fun and playful non-sexual, nurturing touch workshop in which you can practice communication and boundary setting. It can help to enhance all of your relationships and allow you to learn even more about yourself. It is for adults who come dressed in pj’s or other comfy clothes and in the 3 hours we have together, you can practice saying yes to what you want, no to what you don’t want and be open to changing your mind. Make friends, create community, expand your horizons, allow yourself the freedom to do something outside your scope of experience. Some people love it so much, that they attend again and again. Join us and find out why!

1-Please arrive before 2 pm, since doors close at 2:15 pm so we can create safe space to begin. Once the Welcome Circle begins, we will not admit anyone.

2-If you smoke, please do not do so prior to the Cuddle Party, since many, including your facilitator, have difficulty with it.
3- Please bring a blanket to help make the floor extra comfy and cozy.
4-Feel free to bring snacks to share.
5-This is a substance-free event; no drugs or alcohol.
6- Bring your open heart and open arms.
