🧸 Women's Cuddle Party: Boundaries, Consent &amp; Connection
Spend a slow, cozy afternoon with us. We start with a short workshop on asking for what you want, then settle in for cuddles, snacks, and conversation.
Open to all women, cis and trans.
No group pressure. This is not a sexual or dating event. Bring your comfiest sleepwear, and come solo or with a friend. Everything is consent-led, and the room is funny, welcoming, and made for making friends.
💛 Why Come?
Making friends as an adult is hard, and even harder in a new city. Most of us rarely get to meet other women outside of work, a bar, or an app, let alone relax with them.
This is an easy way in. The workshop breaks the ice for you, so by the time cuddle time starts, you've already laughed with the people around you. It's a good place to find a new friend or two.
And there's a reason a good hug feels so good: friendly, consensual touch helps your body release oxytocin, which is linked to lower stress and feeling closer to the people around you.
🌙 What to Expect
We begin with a Welcome Circle and guided exercises that help you explore boundaries and consent in a fun, interactive way. You'll leave with tools to express your needs and listen with clarity, skills you can carry into all your relationships.
Afterward, we ease into relaxed cuddle time. Join in for optional hugging and cuddling, or read, snack, and chat.
💞 Who It's For
This is for you if…
<ul><li>You're new to the city and want to meet women you'd actually call again.</li><li>You are a people pleaser, often at the sacrifice of your own happiness.</li><li>You know what you want but go quiet when it's your turn to ask.</li><li>You'd like to practice saying no with real people, not just in your head.</li><li>You miss being hugged, held, without having to go on a date.</li><li>You relax when the rules are said out loud instead of guessed at.</li><li>You want a room free of the dynamics of a mixed crowd.</li><li>You want to meet people somewhere that isn't a bar or an app.</li><li>You're curious, a little nervous, and want a facilitator in the room.</li></ul>
No experience needed, just curiosity and respect.
What to Bring
<ul><li>PJs or comfy clothes (mandatory)</li><li>Light snacks and non-sticky, non-alcoholic drinks to share</li><li>Journal, books, pillows, blankets, etc.</li></ul>
We'll provide light snacks as well.
