Dear Cuddlers,
Andrew has stepped down from organising this meetup and from running Cuddle Workshops. After talking with Andrew, I am delighted to announce that the flame of Cuddle Work and consensual, non-sexual touch will be kept alive in Yorkshire.

I imagine that few of you know me, so here is something about myself. I am a long-time fan of Cuddle workshops. I was lucky to be there at their inception with Anna and James. You may know my work as Tantra North and from Sacred Light Tantra as I have been a student and teacher of tantra for 25 years. I also worked as a doctor both in orthodox and complementary medicine.

These days I am pretty much retired, but I love to host and teach body related personal growth practices. These include platonic touch, consent and healing touch- which is how I came across Cuddle work.

Although Andrew is no longer leading groups, he’s looking forward to joining as a participant.

I have been looking for ways to take this group forward and have come up with 2 types of meetings:

The first are Peer Group Cuddle sessions:
These are a direct follow on from Andrew’s work which follow the same principles as Cuddle work but they are not taught classes. They are informal sessions where people meet up in someone’s home to practice Cuddle Work. Who leads each exercise will depend on who turns up. The idea is that we share the leading of the session as well as hosting the venue.
Please don’t be put off if you don’t have confidence in leading anything, there will be people who can. However, there are some pre-requisites for attending.
Either
You have attended a Cuddle Workshop with Andrew or another teacher
Or
You have done sessions with me or Sacred Light Tantra. If you haven’t done any of these then please contact me, Helen Dziemidko, or via Meetup, before booking. This gives us an opportunity to see if these sessions are what you are looking for.

Cost is £7 pp – donation towards drinks, snacks and hosting.
First session Saturday 16th August 2025 1.30-17.00

Venue – Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire (details on booking)

Numbers are limited by host’s room size (between 6 and 8 people)
Places are allocated on receipt of payment. Payments are non-refundable.

The second kind of meetings are afternoon workshops:
