Platonic Snuggles

## Platonic Snuggles

## Safe Space • Real Connection

In a world where many of us feel isolated, touch-starved, and overwhelmed, this is your invitation to slow down.

Platonic Snuggles is a consent-centered gathering where you're welcome to simply be — to unwind, reconnect, and experience authentic human connection in a warm, welcoming space.

The evening opens with connection activities designed to build comfort, trust, and communication. From there, you're free to move at your own pace. Conversation, quiet companionship, hand-holding, hugs, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby — all are welcome here.

No touch is ever required. Everything is optional, and you may change your mind at any time.

Whether you're seeking community, comfort, laughter, or simply a softer place to land, come as you are.

Cozy, soft, loose-fitting clothes you’d be comfortable lounging or napping in. Please arrive in clean clothing free of strong fragrances and pet hair so everyone can relax comfortably.

Do I have to cuddle?
No. All participation is optional. Honoring your No is part of the practice.

Can I come late or leave early?
Please arrive on time. Doors close shortly after 6:30 PM to protect the safety of the container. You’re welcome to leave early if needed — just move quietly and let the facilitator know beforehand.
