Discussion group and cuddle party

From 6-7:30, we'll partake in a discussion group (topic to be determined).

This workshop will be approximately 90 minutes long, at which time we'll break for snacks and bathroom breaks. About half an hour later (at 8 pm), we'll reconvene for the cuddle party!
What's a cuddle party?

It is two hours of compassionate, consensual, non-sexual touch, in a safe and respectful environment. This is an opportunity to spend time with fellow "touch junkies", to cuddle, to hold, to just BE, with no pressure or expectations.

You may come to a cuddle party to cuddle....to touch and be touched. You may come to a cuddle party to just hang out and take in the energy. You may come to a cuddle party to just be with friendly and respectful people. There is never any pressure to cuddle at a cuddle party and "no" and "yes" are always honored.

Dress comfortably....yoga pants, pajamas (no sexy lingerie though, please), sweat pants, etc., are all fine. Any clothing in which you can move about, lie down, roll around and snuggle up in is just fine.

We will begin with an opening circle of introductions, then the Rules of Cuddling, which will involve a few games to lighten the atmosphere. Then....it's free-style cuddling time!

The only thing missing is YOU.

(Please note, I do request a love donation of $25, however any amount will be graciously accepted, and no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds. I simply request some sort of offering because I appreciate help covering the cost of snacks and such for each meetup. Thanks so much!)

I do need to reiterate that if you have RSVPed, PLEASE keep it current. There have been several times when I was expecting many more people than the amount who actually showed up, and I provided food for the amount expected, which wound up going to waste. This is frustrating and expensive.

Also, (and this is important!) I try very, very hard to make this a fun and above all, SAFE space for everyone so I just ask that everyone be considerate. I am sometimes asked about male/female ratio, which is completely out of my control and frankly of no concern. Also, please keep in mind that most people who are drawn to this sort of thing, are open to giving and receiving touch, no matter what gender it's from or at least being respectful and open of those who choose to do so. Cuddle parties are not of a sexual nature - cuddling is compassionate touch, not sexual touch and this is not a place to pick up a date. If that is your goal, we'd kindly request that you seek that elsewhere. Consent and respect of boundaries are absolutely imperative and will be discussed clearly before we begin. Thank you!
