A space to practice, to soften your body and to reconnect with your capacity for touch, connection, and presence.
We will move slowly, practice consent out loud, and create a shared space where you can explore what it feels like to hold & be held, to ask for what you want, and to stay connected to yourself while doing it.
Come as you are and participate at your own pace.
Leave with a clearer sense of your boundaries, yourdesires, and your ability to receive.
WHAT IS A CUDDLE PUDDLE?
A cuddle puddle is a shared, consensual space where people engage in fully-clothed platonic touch.
Think bodies resting together, leaning, holding, being held. It can look like a group of people laying together on pillows and blankets, or smaller pockets of connection forming and dissolving throughout the room.
The focus is on presence, communication, and attunement.
Touch happens through clear verbal consent and can be adjusted or stopped at any time.
