SEE EVENT DETAILS
LOCATION: THE RED VICTORIAN1665 HAIGHT STREETSAN FRANCISCO, CA94117
Valentines Day is upon us, and not everyone got enough cuddles during the season. On February 16th, we're inviting you to learn about consent and how to ask for what you want, so you could get more cuddles! While this is not a dating event, everyone is welcome; singles, couples, and more. Come get the hugs you want!
What is a Cuddle Party?Cuddle Party is a 3-4 hours workshop experience where participants engage in communication exercises, explore touch in a non-sexual space, experience personal exploration and intimacy, and have fun with like minded people. What do we do at a Cuddle Party?We do two main things at Cuddle Parties: Enjoy each other's touch. You can come and enjoy giving and receiving caring touch from other people who want to give and receive it.Practice Consent. A major part of Cuddle Parties is learning how to ask for what you want and how to answer requests. Worried? Confused? Don't fret - we will teach, guide and help you practice how to do it. ?Why is Cuddling important?Nurturing and consensual loving touch is good for maintaining a healthy life, a strong nervous system and a balanced emotional state. One’s ability to connect with and develop greater trust in others is emphasized during the group exchanges during Cuddle Parties. Self-care is a cornerstone of the Cuddle Party experience. Is this SEX?!Great question! No. This is a non-sexual event. You have the option of experiencing touch and maybe intimacy if you'd like to - but we steer away from sexual behavior.If you are looking for something sexy, we're all for it! :) just not in this event.
Attendees are welcome to arrive in or change into whatever they deem comfortable - a minimum of knee length pants and tank top. No nudity is allowed.
