Platonic Snuggles – A Community Space for Nourishing Touch & Authentic Connection
Welcome to a cozy, consent-centered space where touch is healing, connection is conscious, and your boundaries are honored. Whether you’re craving safe affection, looking to expand your capacity for communication, or simply want to wind down in good company — this event is for you.
At Platonic Snuggles, we explore:
💗 Conscious connection – Drop into presence with others in a low-pressure, heart-centered way
🛑 Empowered boundaries – Learn to confidently express your Yes and No
✅ Authentic consent – Practice asking for and receiving nurturing, platonic touch
🫶 Co-regulation – Support your nervous system with gentle contact and shared stillness
Touch is a basic human need — one that supports emotional wellbeing, lowers stress, and increases feelings of connection and belonging. But in a world that doesn’t always make space for platonic intimacy, we need brave, kind containers to practice.
This event includes guided exercises, gentle connection games, and plenty of time to snuggle in a cuddle puddle (or not — all participation is optional). Whether you’re new to this kind of gathering or a seasoned snuggler, you’re warmly welcome here.

🌿 What to Expect:
- Opening Circle – We begin in a welcoming circle to connect, set intentions, and go over community agreements.
- Consent & Connection Games – You’ll be guided through fun, gentle exercises to help everyone feel comfortable and practice saying (and hearing) clear Yes’s and No’s.
- Small Group Cuddles – In mini-groups, we’ll ease into platonic touch with simple, low-pressure ways to connect.
- Free Flow Snuggle Time – You’re invited to relax, curl up, or connect with others in whatever way feels good (and consensual) to you. All touch is optional, and solo rest is always welcome.
- Closing Circle – We’ll come back together to share reflections and gently transition back into the world.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
Cozy, soft, loose-fitting clothes you’d be comfortable napping or lounging in. Think sweatpants, pajamas, onesies — whatever helps you relax. Please avoid strong fragrances.
Do I have to cuddle?
Nope! You’re never required to touch anyone or be touched. All activities are completely optional, and honoring your No is part of the practice. You’re welcome to simply observe, journal, or rest.
Can I come late or leave early?
We ask that everyone arrives on time — doors will close once we begin to protect the safety and cohesion of the group container. If you need to leave early, please let the facilitator know in advance.
Is this a dating event?
No. While heartfelt connection often blooms here, this is a non-sexual space. We’re here to practice platonic affection and presence.
Is this for women only?
Platonic Snuggles is a gender-inclusive event open to all respectful adults. That said, we hold a strong container rooted in communication, consent, and care.
Can I bring a friend or partner?
Yes! Just make sure each person registers individually so we can keep track of group size.
