TOUCH

Cuddle Party is a playful social event/workshop designed for adults to explore communication, boundaries and affection. You can come to a Cuddle Party to meet new people, to enjoy amazing conversations, to touch and be touched, to have fun, to practice asking for what you want, to practice saying "no" to what you don't want--all in a setting structured to be a safe place for exploration and enjoyment.

People who attend this party should have a strong sense of integrity, kindness, fun, curiosity, open-mindedness, and an interest in both receiving and giving safe and respectful touch and affection. They should be respectful of rules and guidelines, and they should feel free to reframe assumptions.

ARRIVE ON TIME: Once we begin the Welcome Circle and orientation, sorry, we can let no one enter late. This creates comfort and safety by knowing that everyone is on the same page about rules and expectations.

WHAT TO WEAR: Pajamas nothing too risqué. Think more comfy than sexy. (More drawstrings, less lace! No shorts.)

WHAT TO BRING: Sorry, no liquor folks. Juice or sparkling cider is always welcome. A pillow or stuffed animal if you like. Otherwise, just bring your smiling self.

STICK TO THE RULES:

Pajamas stay on the whole time.
You don't have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever.
You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone. (Be as specific in your request as you can.)
If you're a yes, say YES. If you're a no, say NO.
If you're a maybe, say NO.
You are encouraged to change your mind.
Respect your relationship agreements and communicate with your partner.
Get your Cuddle Party Facilitator or the Cuddle Assistant if you have a question or concern or need assistance with anything during the Cuddle Party.
Tears and laughter are both welcome.
Respect people's privacy when sharing about Cuddle Parties.
Keep the Cuddle space tidy
