What we’re about

Enough with disconnection, alienation, and fear. Let's find different ways to be!

Humans have always known that touch can be healing. Let's use it, this power that we have, to begin healing each other. How? By coming together to create non-sexual, safe, consensual spaces where we can explore. It’s time to change the rules, to give people opportunities to re-learn the simplest things. Like that I’m ok. And that you’re ok. It’s about connection, grounding, and love. Come join us in one of the simplest most primal and also most radical activities around - platonic touch.

Why? Because consensual touch improves how we relate to other people and ourselves. It reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, heals old trauma, promotes positive attachment, and creates a sense of safety, wellbeing, and belonging. Without enough touch people tend to be lonely, afraid, stressed, and unhappy - sound familiar? Research shows that people can reduce each other's pain - even physical pain, but only when they touch. In our rapid advancement we have forgotten the simplest things.

Community Cuddles brings together people who might otherwise never meet to explore giving and receiving touch. It promotes a culture of authentic connection based on full honest consent. The first 60 - 90 minutes of each event is a structured workshop focused on knowing what you want, asking for it, and setting boundaries. And if on any given day you don’t want to touch - then don’t. You never have to touch anyone, ever, at any of our events. Self knowledge, communication, and touch weave the threads of community. It's about letting our common need for safe, non-sexual touch create connection. It's about getting connected before we try to problem solve. It's about trust, belonging, and empowerment.

Community Cuddles is for anyone curious about safe, consensual, non-sexual touch. Especially if you're nervous. How could you not be? Especially if you have been hurt in the past and you're not sure touch like this is possible but you hope it is and you want to find out but you might leave right after you get there. Yup. You are welcome here. This is about each of us moving from pain to healing and then celebration - together.  Simple acts can change us as individuals and can change the collective. Join us in being that change.
