Cuddle Party!

🧸 Cuddle Party! ​A cozy night of laughter, warmth, and real human connection. ​

This is a workshop about boundaries and consent with optional freestyle cuddling at the end.

Join us for a soft evening of comfort and easy company. Bring your comfiest sleepwear and your kindest heart. This is not a sexual event. The environment is silly and funny and designed to make friends.

Everything is consent-led, respectful, and designed for you to feel safe and supported. Come solo or with a partner—whatever feels most comfortable.

🌙 What to Expect:

​We’ll begin with the Welcome Circle and guided exercises that help you explore boundaries and consent in a fun, interactive way.

This first part is a gentle workshop that gives you tools to express your needs and listen with clarity- skills you can carry into all your relationships. ​

Afterward, we’ll ease into relaxed cuddle time. You can join in for freestyle hugging and cuddling, read, snack, or simply chat.

Comfort, choice, and clear communication come first.

🎁 ​💞 Who It’s For:

This is for you if…

• You say "sure, no problem" and regret it an hour later.
• You know what you want but go quiet when it's your turn to ask.
• You'd like to practice saying no with real people, not just rehearse it in your head.
• You miss being hugged, held, or leaned on, and you want that without it meaning a date.
• You relax when the rules are said out loud instead of guessed at.
• You want to meet people somewhere that isn't a bar or an app.
• You're curious, a little nervous, and want to try this with a facilitator in the room.
• No experience needed—just curiosity and respect. Couples are welcome.

What to Bring:

-PJs or comfy clothes mandatory.

- Light snacks and non-sticky and non-alcoholic drinks to share

- Journal, books, pillows, blankets, etc.

We will provide light snacks as well.

FAQ

Do I need to bring someone with me?

No. You’re welcome to attend on your own, and many people do. There will be opportunities to connect with others if you’d like.

Do I have to cuddle or participate in everything?

No. You are always in control of your body and your level of participation. You never have to cuddle or take part in anything that doesn’t feel right. The only requirement is attending and listening during the opening Welcome Circle and guidelines.

Will I definitely get to cuddle?

There’s no guarantee. Most participants who want to cuddle usually do, but it depends on your comfort level and willingness to make requests.

What if I’m late?

The Welcome Circle begins at 3:30pm and the doors close at that time. No one will be admitted after we start, even with a ticket, and donations are not refunded for late arrivals.

Can I leave early?

Yes. You’re free to leave whenever you need to. We just ask that you let one of the hosts know so we don’t worry about you.

Where is the event held?

This event takes place in an artist studio in Dumbo. The exact address will be sent by email to all registered participants before the event.

Can I get a refund?

Registrations are non-refundable. The space is booked and the session is planned around the number of people signed up, so those costs are committed ahead of time. If something comes up, email me at least 48 hours before and I'll credit you toward a future event.
