November Cuddle Party
Event Details
Join us at a Cuddle Party!
What the heck is a Cuddle Party?
A Cuddle Party is an event that allows adults to experience the positive effects of non-sexual touch in an intentional space that is structured around consent and boundaries.
Well, what does that mean?
Firstly, touching other human beings is really good for you! Human beings need touch and affection to lead fulfilled happy lives. Touching others produces a hormone called Oxytocin. Here are some of the things oxytocin positively impacts:
your blood pressure
your nervous system
your emotional health
your ability to connect with and trust people
your ability to respect and care for yourself
your sense of saftey, comfort, and belonging
Second, the first hour of this event is a workshop on what concent and boundaries look like at a Cuddle Party. Through this participents gain
Clarity and confidence
Boundary and communication skills
Comfort, support and Encouragement.
Translatable skills to everyday life
What can I expect?
