SnuggleJam is a soft, low-energy community space built around platonic touch, connection, and presence. This is a non-sexual environment. There is no play, no cruising, no pressure to perform. Just people, consent, and connection, and snuggles.
This space is created with littles, middles, critters, and ace and demi folks in mind, especially those who want community without the intensity or erotic focus of other events. Anyone who can respect the container is welcome. We’ll start by setting clear agreements around consent, communication, and care. Then we’ll move into a few simple icebreakers and a gentle proprioceptive technique demo. For our first SnuggleJam, we’ll be teaching the “Snugglerito” or swaddling.
After that, the room opens up. You can connect, chat, snuggle, rest, or take space. This is also a great place to practice social skills in a low-stakes environment where opting in and opting out are both fully supported. We’ll end our time together with a short closing circle.
Expect low-fi beats, soft lighting, and quiet voices. Bring blankets, pajamas, stuffies, and lunch if that feels good to you.
Doors open at 10:30AM and close at 12:30PM.
Our lab-style workshops are community-centered educational events focused on skill sharing and learning, not play parties. Guests are expected to bring their own tools, sanitize shared equipment before and after use, and respect the house manager, Dungeon Monitor, and staff. Sex of any kind, breath play or simulated breath play, restraint across the front of the neck, fire, candles, vaping, and smoking are not permitted. These events are not for cruising; please watch from a respectful distance and avoid commenting or intruding on other guest’s labbing experiences, including during aftercare. All Praxium Events are 18+.
This event will take place at Paradox - 1310 Mission Street in San Francisco. It is located in SoMa, near 9th and Mission, and is a 10 minute walk from the Civic Center/UN Plaza BART station.
Accessibility Notes:
The entrance to the space is on the ground floor and is fully-accessible, including a social area, play area, and two accessible all-gender bathrooms. The mezzanine level above the bathrooms can only be reached via stairs. There will be music playing throughout the night, and ear plugs may be available at the front desk.
