WHAT IS CUDDLE PARTY®? (From CuddleParty.com)

Cuddle Party® is … a workshop!

Though touch is natural, the skills that make it welcome and enjoyable should be learned. The skills of communication, boundary setting, asking for what you want, and saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ with clarity and kindness are practiced.

Cuddle Party® is led by trained and certified Cuddle Party® Facilitators. The Facilitator’s job is to guide you into those skills gently and easily, in a fun, safe and light hearted way. We welcome you and create an atmosphere of respect, and remain available for questions and support.

At a Cuddle Party® you gain:

* Clarity and confidence

* Boundary and communication skills

* Comfort, support and encouragement

* The secrets to welcome, relaxed, non-sexual touch

The skills you learn at Cuddle Party® translate into everyday life, right from the start. When boundaries and consent are clear, every relationship is easier.
