    Cuddle Party Sant Rosa Dec. 1

    Cuddle Party is a fun, playful workshop on connection and communication that includes an abundance of nurturing and affectionate touch. It is safe and structured, non-sexual and drug and alcohol-free event. Called a "Party" because it is so much fun (a wonderful alternative to a standard singles scene and night life)!

    People may attend a Cuddle Party for a variety of reasons. Some come just to have fun and enjoy a wonderful evening of connecting with like-minded people. Some see a Cuddle Party as a great networking opportunity to look for new friends or a significant other. Some (both men and women alike) come to safely fulfill their need for affection and nurturing touch that may be missing in their everyday life. Some appreciate the learning and personal growth aspect, having the opportunity to improve their social and communication skills (expressing needs, setting boundaries, etc.), and explore ways of creating connection and closeness. Some may appreciate risking connecting with someone of the same sex (or the opposite if that's your edge). Some may even find an element of spirituality here, and play with "touch meditation", Tantra, or explore different states of consciousness ("the cuddling hormone" oxytocin can produce quite an altered state). It's a GREAT way to create community!!!

    Cuddling can mean feet against feet, head or shoulder rubs, full-body hugs, spooning - it is entirely up to you. You can participate according to your desires and comfort level (it is perfectly ok if you just want to talk and not touch anyone for a while or not at all - YOU ARE ALWAYS AT CHOICE!!!). You will have a great opportunity to meet and connect with other cuddle-minded people in a safe and relaxing environment.

    During the first hour we create the structure and safe space by introducing ourselves, learning about Cuddle Party philosophy and rules (like "Ask before touching anyone"), and by going through several communication and ice-breaker exercises. This is followed by a couple of hours of social cuddling time, and ends with a Closing Circle.
    Please share with all of your friends and associates about these wonderful events by forwarding this info to like-hearted people. Enjoy and be well!!!

    PS We recently created a meet up group and would be thrilled to have you as a member. We’ll be offering Cuddle Parties, Free Hugs, Clothing Exchanges, Conscious Relationship Circles, events, and more that won’t be advertised any other way!! It’s also a great way to create carpooling opportunities with other cuddlers!!!

    Cuddlemonials;
    "I have been to many Cuddle Parties hosted by Sujata, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I really love the "safe space" that is created there, where people can relax, and open themselves up to others, and experiment moving out of their comfort zones and trying out new behaviors. I find Cuddle Parties to be incredible in that people have the opportunity to give and receive loving, nurturing touching without being sexual."

    "Thank you and your assistants for organizing and participating in this event. It was a deeply moving and tender experience for me. I look forward to another of your cuddle parties."
