    Join us for our Gather + Glow - Cuddle & Dance Spring Edition!

    Whether you’re here to connect, practice consent, or meet like-minded people, it's time to step out of your head and into your body, discovering an embodied way of relating: with presence, communication, and connection.

    It’s not just a cuddle or a dance—it’s a chance to experience how we connect, honor boundaries, and show up authentically in our relationships - whether you’re in an existing relationship, single, or navigating how you’d like to do relationships differently.

    This is an invitation to explore what feels most fulfilling for you on a deeper, embodied level. 

    Agenda

    ✨Connect. We’ll start with playful exercises to break the ice and create moments of real, human connection.

    ✨Move. Misfits DJs spinning live to take us on a high vibrational journey to explore freedom and self-expression, tapping into the joy of simply being.

    ✨ Relax. The cuddle portion allows you to practice asking for what you want, honoring boundaries, and creating consensual, safe connections with others in ways that feel deeply authentic. Perfect for both cuddle newbies and seasoned snugglers (includes overview of guidelines/consent/boundary practices).newbies and seasoned snugglers (includes overview of guidelines/consent/boundary practices).

what this is…

Welcome to our guided experiential workshop on Cuddling.
Relax and let us guide you step by step into the charming realm of platonic touch aka Cuddling.
We will use well-tested sequences of fun exercises to create a container where we can safely exchange touch with each other.
Exchanging no-strings-attached platonic touch with a stranger reduces brain overwhelm within seconds and re-calibrates the body's fight-flight-freeze mechanism.
Substantial increase in person's creativity and well-being is often reported as the result.
Curious about cuddling? Watch this and learn more!
