A Guided Cuddle Party with Storm

About This Event

Discover the Art of Connection: A Guided Cuddle Party.

Have you ever wondered what a Cuddle Party is? It's a unique, structured social event designed for adults to explore communication, consent, and community through platonic touch. Part workshop, part social experience, it’s a safe, respectful, and nurturing space to connect.

We begin with a "Welcome Circle" where our facilitator will guide you through the essential principles of consent and communication. This foundation ensures a comfortable environment where everyone feels empowered. Then, we'll put these skills into practice during a fun and open cuddle social!

Why Cuddling? Human touch is a fundamental need. Friendly, consensual cuddling releases oxytocin, a "feel-good" hormone that can:

Lower blood pressure and reduce stress

Boost your immune system

Enhance feelings of safety, comfort, and belonging.

In a world that can often feel lonely or stressful, this is an opportunity to connect in a way that is affirming, joyful, and beneficial for your mental and physical well-being. All are welcome, whether you are single or partnered.

Your Safety and Comfort are Our Priority Your facilitator will be there to support you every step of the way. The first hour is a dedicated workshop covering:

Gaining clarity and confidence in asking for consent.

Identifying and setting firm, compassionate boundaries.

Finding comfort, support, and encouragement within the group

A Note on Community Health:

To protect our community, we ask that you do not attend if you have symptoms of any contagious illness (including a stuffy nose, cough, flu, or COVID-19). In such cases, you will receive a full refund. Let's keep our community well.
