consent + cuddle: a community care practice

Welcome to a nurturing space where we can embrace the comfort of consensual, platonic touch! 🫂✨

In a world that often feels challenging, physical touch is a fundamental human need and key to releasing feel-good brain chemicals like oxytocin. ❤️‍🔥 What if our communities could actively support one another through affectionate, consensual cuddling? This is exactly what Consent + Cuddle aims to achieve — fostering a culture of embedded mutual aid through touch!

Here's what you can expect:

• 🌟 Welcome Circle to ease into our gathering
• 🧘 Grounding Activities to connect with ourselves and others
• 🔑 Consent Exercises to enhance our understanding and practice of consent
• 🤗 An Open Cuddle session, where we can safely explore our new skills and experience the warmth of cuddling in a community setting

Important Guidelines ~~~~~~

• Touch is always consensual and never required for participation.
• The space will be cozy, playful, and rated G.
• If you're feeling unwell, please take care of the community and refrain from participating. 💕
• We ask attendees to stay sober to ensure genuine consent.
• Personal hygiene is key; please come clean and fresh!
• Please avoid smoking and heavy perfumes.
• Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement and snuggling — think shorts to mid-thigh and a tank top at minimum.
• We encourage you to bring your own fluff: pillows, stuffed animals, cushions, blankets — whatever feels comfy!

Accessibility:

The space will have cushions on the floor for most exercises. If needed, chairs can be provided. If you have concerns about getting up and down from the floor, please let the organizers know, and we will find a suitable arrangement.

Join us for a heartfelt experience of connection and care! 💖
