Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend. Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken. Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend. Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut. Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend. Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein. Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln. Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen. **ABLAUF** Wir starten mit einem gemeinsamen Ankommen, leiten dich durch Übungen zur Wahrnehmung und zur Einvernehmlichkeit von Berührung, bevor wir in die freie Kuschelzeit übergehen – je nach Wunsch in Gruppen, zu zweit oder in Ruhe für dich allein. **ORT** Berlin Weißensee Der genaue Ort wird dir nach Anmeldung bekannt gegeben. **DATUM und ZEIT** 10.01.2026 17:00 – 20:00 Uhr (Einlass ab 16:35 Uhr, bitte sei pünktlich, nach 17 Uhr bleiben die Türen geschlossen.) **PREIS** Unsere Kuschelzeit bieten wir zum Preis von 35–45 Euro nach Selbsteinschätzung an. Du bezahlst bitte passend vor Ort in bar. **ANMELDUNG** Deine Anmeldung für die Veranstaltung ist notwendig, da wir nur über eine begrenzte Anzahl von Plätzen verfügen. Schreib uns eine Mail und melde dich gern an. Mit unserer Zusage ist deine Anmeldung verbindlich.\* Mail: [[kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de](http://kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de/)]([mailto:kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de](http://mailto:kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de/)) \*Du kannst bis 24 Stunden vor Beginn kostenfrei stornieren. Danach wird die volle Teilnahmegebühr fällig, da wir den Platz nicht mehr anderweitig vergeben können. **WICHTIGES** * Für Frauen – auch für Neueinsteigerinnen geeignet. * Die Kuschelparty findet ab 5 Teilnehmerinnen statt. Zu deiner Orientierung, die TN Zahl liegt zw. 8 und 15 Personen. * Solltest Du in Therapie sein, bitte stimme deine Teilnahme vorab ab. Bitte lass uns wissen, ob du in therapeutischer Behandlung bist. * Mitbringen von Haustieren ist nicht möglich. Bitte bring mit: * kuschelige Kleidung
- komme frisch geduscht * verzichte auf intensive Gerüche (z. B. Parfum/starkes Deo, Knoblauch, Rauch, Alkohol) Danke für deine Achtsamkeit Berührung involviert alle unsere Sinne.

Join our partners Watermark Woods Native Plants, Loudoun County Public Library (LCPL), and Birch Tree Bookstore for the Read! Plant! Grow! Book Club, which focuses on native plants, sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and LCPL. At this meeting we’ll discuss the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Both memoir and journalistic investigation, this book explores how the Kingsolver family took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally -produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Kingsolver considers our nation’’s lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore or contact Allison Forbes at [Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov](mailto:Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov) to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or [sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore](https://www.birchtreebookstore.com/event-details/read-plant-grow-2026-02-24-18-30). ***Questions:*** *Contact [info@loudounwildlife.org](mailto:info@loudounwildlife.org)*.
