My ask is that if you aren't feeling well is please stay home and take care of yourself. \nSTARTING ON TIME: Once we begin the Welcome Circle, the door to the event is closed. This creates comfort and safety for everyone knowing that we are on the same page about rules and expectations.\nCREATING THE CONTAINER: After the Welcome circle, we go over the ‘rules of cuddling’, which are listed below. This is how we create a safe environment, for everyone, to give and receive nourishing touch.\nWHAT KIND OF TOUCH TO EXPECT: Massages, head scratching, spooning, watching/observing, learning about consent, talking, dancing, laughter, holding hands, napping, hugs, writing in a journal or reading a book.\nWHAT TO WEAR: Pajamas or sweats– nothing too risqué. Think more comfy than sexy. \nWHAT TO BRING: This is a alcohol free/smoke free event. Juice or sparkling cider, and treats and snacks to share. A pillow, stuffed animal, favorite blanket if you like. \nTHE RULES OF CUDDLING: (Abiding by the below rules is how we create a safe environment, for everyone, to give and receive nourishing touch.) \n1) Pajamas stay on the whole time. (This is a nonsexual event, and clothes staying on is one of the ways we keep it that way.)\n2) You don’t have to touch anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever. \n3) You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone.
