The Open Cuddle

A Cuddle Puddle is a non-sexual event that offers participants an opportunity to explore platonic intimacy via touch. That being said, this is a consent driven space (meaning no physical or non-physical contact without expressed agreement or permission) that centers safety, comfort and connection. That means we aim to create a space where the majority of the bodies look like us. We invite you to take a moment to literally hold each other in community. In this sociopolitical climate, this is activism and we take our joy seriously.

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, but we’re known for events that specifically cater to QTBIPOC individuals at varying price points.

EXPECT: Soft conversations, bursts of laughter, giggles, pillows, warmth, background music, and connection.

BRING: Something to lay on,pillows, blankets, light snacks, drinks, a light jacket for later in the evening. 

PLEASE BE ON TIME: Make certain to account FOR TRAFFIC AND PARKING. Please only come if you’re feeling well and currently not experiencing any symptoms of contagious illness.

The Welcome Circle is for introductions and to go over the guidelines of our Cuddle Puddle. This is an important aspect of the Cuddle Puddle experience and creates community agreements for all participants. It is essential that everyone be on time.

Time: Doors close at 10:30am

Parking: Ride sharing is encouraged, street parking is limited, a few hundred feet from Pershing square station

Access: ADA accessible, with elevator

What you should wear: Wear what makes you feel comfortable, but this is a space where you must remain street appropriate.
