Cuddle Casa: A POC Exclusive Cuddle Party

Kinky People of Color presents “Cuddle Casa”

Kinky People of Color: Bay Area invites you to our POC exclusive cuddle party: Cuddle Casa! If you identify as a Person of Color, join us as we build community, socialize, and practice platonic touch! This workshop covers communication skills, exploring consent, and experimenting with platonic touch in a safe and POC exclusive space.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP HERE

Cuddle Casa is a safe place for us to explore various forms of non-sexual touch. Our attendees will practice identifying and asking for what they want, and saying yes and no to what they want. This is a space to live in any gender, sexual expression or disability on the spectrum, and to not worry about the one thing we are constantly reminded of in other spaces: our race and ethnicity.

*All levels of experience are welcome and encouraged to participate.

The event is held at Nemi House in Oakland, with the exact address being emailed to you once your ticket is bought.

Doors open at 11:15am for check in. Doors close promptly at 12:00pm! Late arrivals will be turned away at the door. Please make sure to arrive on time.

Opening circle will be presented by Jesse at 11:30am followed by a short workshop about consent and the power of healing touch.

After the workshop ends, the space will open for all to use freely, and we may have some surprise workshops or activities planned for the final hour.

KPOC’s representatives JesseVsLove, JohnSmile, and others will host for the evening. Please reach out to them if you have any questions or concerns before or during the event or at kinkypocbayarea@gmail.com

Petite refreshments such as snacks will be provided.

Event ends at 2:30pm.

What to Wear?

Pajamas, lounge wear, anything comfy or cozy. No undressing down to your underwear or nudity is permitted, as this is a nonsexual event.

Hygiene
