We often sell out a week or so before the event, so it is advised to get your tickets well in advance. **Visit the [Eventbrite](https://OaklandPlatonicTouch110726.eventbrite.com) listing to buy a ticket and get more info!** This workshop offers participants opportunities to learn about and practice communication skills, explore consent, and discover the power of platonic touch. Attendees will practice identifying and asking for what they want, saying no to what they don’t want and yes to what they do want, and experiment with platonic touch in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment. If you... 1. have been suffering from skin hunger and lack of touch in your life 2. desire physical contact with other people in a non-sexual way 3. long for nurturing and healing touch 4. need a safe place to relax and rejuvenate 5. are looking to connect with an inspiring and welcoming community 6. want to stretch out of your comfort zone 7. often find yourself in the role of caretaker, but need a turn to be taken care of 8. have no idea how to answer the question "what kind of touch do you like?" 9. feel overwhelmed by both a desire for connection and a desire to run away from connection ...then our Platonic Touch Workshop & Practice may be just what you have been looking for! More details about this event: **WHAT TO EXPECT:** Upon arrival participants will get checked in, make a name tag, and be directed to the workshop space. The welcome circle and workshop will introduce participants to one another and offer guided exercises and support to practice communication skills. Afterwards, there will be approximately two hours available for practicing touch, eating snacks, or just hanging out. Our event ends a few minutes before 6:00pm with a brief closing circle. NOTE: Touch is not required at this event. Every activity is optional. You are welcome to come and observe only. You get to choose THE WHOLE TIME. **SICK POLICY:** If you're feeling sick, please stay home. One of the ways we care for one another as a community is by helping prevent the spread of illness. If you're experiencing symptoms of a cold, the flu, COVID, or any other potentially contagious illness, we ask that you sit this one out and join us another time. If you're unable to attend because you're not feeling well, you may either transfer your ticket to a future Platonic Touch Workshop or receive a full refund. No questions asked. Thank you for helping us keep our community healthy. **PUNCTUALITY:** Allow time for losing your keys and getting caught in traffic and looking for parking in order to be on time. Doors open at 1:00pm and close PROMPTLY at 1:30pm.

I also have more than ten years experience working in the field of early childhood and parent education which help me bring empathy, compassion, clarity, creativity and strong leadership into my role as a Cuddle Party Facilitator. I love creating safe spaces for people to connect to themselves and each other. To learn more about Cuddle Parties, click here: http://www.cuddleparty.com/ (I choose to call my events Platonic Touch Workshops & Practice because I have found that the term "cuddle party" can be intimidating to individuals new to the world of platonic touch. It's important to me that my events appeal to a broad spectrum of people and feel safe for everyone. If you are feeling intimidated about attending, please know that one of the foundational rules of our events is that you never have to touch anyone you don't want to, ever. In fact, not touching or cuddling is always an available and viable option. Aside from practicing touch, there is also space for chatting, writing, coloring, reading, napping, and eating snacks!) If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please message me through Eventbrite. All good things, Autumn Vandiver **Visit the [Eventbrite](https://OaklandPlatonicTouch110726.eventbrite.com) listing to buy a ticket!**
