**How It Works**
This is a social event with an opening circle and get-to-know-you with each other and then onto learning about consent and boundaries around touch! No touch is required and you can change your mind at any time. The exercises are designed for all to feel relaxed and feel comfortable saying 'yes' and 'no' to different types of touch and you may feel a sense camaraderie and friendship within the circle followed by compassion and a sense of well-being. Anyone can leave at any time and speaking for what you want and don't want is highly encouraged.

**Accessibility**
My goal is to make Community Cuddles with Mare as accessible as possible so I offer preferred parking (very limited) to those who have more need for it or are unable to use stairs. I have plenty of surfaces for people to sit and lay down on and if you don't want to be on the floor, you don't have to! Please let me know if you have any special accommodations that you would like me know about - mare@pasadenahealingtouch.com

**The Event Leader**
My name is Mare with Pasadena Healing Touch and I am a Professional Cuddler, Reiki Practitioner, and Cuddle Sanctuary certified event leader in the San Gabriel valley area of Los Angeles! My goal is to bring accessible touch to more people who want more connection and to feel the closeness that these events bring, giving a warm sense of satisfaction. Cuddling and closeness is scientifically proven to improve mental health, lower blood pressure, help improve sleep and provide the feel-good chemicals that help to regulate our bodies.
