The Cuddle Network 10th Anniversary Celebration.
In July we will have been running our cuddle events for 10 years for hundreds of human beings and we want to celebrate all that these events have brought. What’s more it will be the 50th cuddle event we have held, what a beautiful synchronicity! Little did we know when we held our first event in Prestwich in 2014, that it would still be as popular as ever 10 years on! So, we are inviting you to come and celebrate with us with a special edition cuddle event.
We will be running our usual event (see below for details) followed by a celebration tea (bring celebration food to share) and in the evening a cuddle temple, with touch games, a chat zone, a freestyle cuddling area and more….. You can buy a joint ticket to both events or individually but you can only purchase an evening only ticket if you have been to one of our previous cuddle events. This special event is expected to sell out quickly so act soon!
This event is run in a safe and non-sexual environment where everyone’s boundaries are respected and honoured with positive intent. Our events provide a number of different nurturing touch and cuddle exercises set within firm boundary principles. Our aim is to leave you feeling relaxed, with your heart opened and soul nurtured.
Touch is an instinctive, natural language that we can all speak and understand. It’s essential for stimulating our nervous system and promoting healthy physical development. It is also critical for our mental and social development. We will work with the beneficial effects of conscious touch and the resultant natural release of the feel good hormone oxytocin to bring you to a place of peace, empowerment, growth and self-connection. Did you know that it’s a proven fact that just twenty seconds of physical contact can lift your mood for the whole day as it releases oxytocin? Find out more about oxytocin and its potential healing power here.
This workshop is open to people of all genders of any age or sexual orientation whether you are single or in a relationship constellation.
