Snuggle Puddle

For anyone who needs more platonic touch in their lives. This is a facilitated event with guided consent based activities designed to ease us into sharing space, touch and eventually snuggles with other attendees. Come alone, come with friends, come ready to experience a new way to be with community.
Together we will set the container and hold the intention of respecting and creating as safe a place as we can for each other to nestle nuzzle and snuggle. Please arrive on time to help us set the intention and get to know each other. We will be guided into creating and negotiating the space for giving and receiving the touch that we want to have together.

6:30pm Doors Open
Arrival + settling in. Journaling paper, tea, and quiet seating available. Childcare space opens, separately staffed.
7:00pm Doors Close
Please arrive before doors close time. (Doors really do close, because the closed container sets the norms for the whole evening and it doesn't work to have people walking in partway through.)
7:00 – 7:30pm Container Setting + Discussion
Naming the need: where touch currently is, and isn't, showing up in your life (unmet / partially met / fully met, and where). Co-creating the container that will hold us, discussion of consent, honoring our yes’s and no’s, group and individual needs, respect and honesty.
7:30– 8:00pm Practicing Consent
Guided activities that let us practice consent forward dialogue, and negotiating touch; both giving and receiving, to find comfort and build rapport within the group.
8:00 – 9:30pm Open Time
SNUGGLES!! Lounge and cuddle in the squish zone, enjoying the flow of serotonin and oxytocin that is our birth right. Mellow music, tea station, and open opt out space if you need it. Facilitators present and available for needed support..
9:30 – 10:00pm Closing (Optional)
Aftercare and wind-down for anyone who wants a soft landing before heading out. You can of course head out any time.
