We're a group of bears, cubs, and all types of furry friends who are proud of ourselves, and our community, and who want to support and help each other live a long, healthful lifestyle that fits our personalities and needs.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle - especially for our community. Let's celebrate that in a judgment-free, supportive, fun, furry environment.

Instructor Bio:
Gonçalo is a Portuguese dancer, choreographer, performer, and movement facilitator. Born in Alcácer do Sal, he began his artistic journey in theater at the age of 15 before discovering a passion for dance.
After participating in the Portuguese television show So You Think You Can Dance?, Gonçalo continued his training at the Escola Superior de Dança. Since then, he has worked as a dancer with different artists and projects, including works focused on social inclusion and communities from different ethnic and social backgrounds.
In 2020, Gonçalo made his debut as a choreographer with PUTTO BRUTO, a play exploring beauty stereotypes with a predominantly plus-size cast.
He was also a mentor and trainer in the "É como é" / "It Is How It Is" project, exploring body positivity through dance and movement with children.
Throughout his career, Gonçalo has worked with artists including Marco da Silva Ferreira, Clara Andermatt, Victor Hugo Pontes, and Brandon Lagaert, and has participated in artistic residencies and international projects.
Today, he brings his experience with dance, movement, and body positivity to create spaces where people can explore movement, express themselves, and feel comfortable in their own bodies.

FAQs
I’ve never been to a cuddle event. What should I expect?
Picture a pile of puppies lying around, snuggling into each other. That’s what our event looks like. After a few simple warm-up activities, we’ll all lay in one big group, soaking in the warmth, support, and love.
Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through everything so you feel completely comfortable and included.What should I bring to the event?
Bring something comfortable to change into (shorts and a t-shirt, sweatpants, or PJs). Feel free to bring a blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal if you’d like!What are the benefits of a cuddle event?
Cuddle events offer many of the same benefits as loving human touch. Cuddling releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone. It can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, and even support heart health. But more than that—it just feels warm, fuzzy, and safe.Want to know more? Check out a testimonial from one of our past participants below!
Is this event sexual?
No. This is not a sexual event. It is clothing-on, and groping is not allowed. If sexual energy or arousal comes up during the event—that’s natural and okay. We simply ask that you don’t act on it during the cuddle.Can't make this class?

"The Bear Cuddle Party...it was a great to connect with other gay men in a non-sexual loving environment. The atmosphere and the tone was friendly and welcoming. It was nice to explore connecting the body and spirit in a safe and caring way. They are an amazing group of men whom I enjoyed sharing a wonderful, and exceptional time. It was great to meet and connect with everyone. And as it turns out, cuddling was exactly what I needed."
