📯 Cuddle party timetable and announcements
A cuddle party is a resourceful group practice, where we cuddle, explore our interaction, intentions and personal boundaries, in a safe and caring setting.
Due to this safe setting, cuddle space is not just cuddles. It’s therapeutic and it can heal. Here, one can slow down, relax and soothe their mind, receive support, learn something new about themselves and re-wire their default reactions to something they chose as more safe and resourceful.
To help you feel relaxed, in the first hour of a party, we walk through group rules, get to know and see each other, make warm-up practices of interacting, rejecting and inviting, feeling our body’s signals. After that, there’s several hours of free interaction, when you do whatever you want, within the rules. In the last 30 minutes, we gather in a circle to share and close the space.

FLINTA cuddle party* is a variety of the regular cuddle party that is specifically catered to women, trans, nonbinary, and/or intersex persons. In this setting, we want to provide a surplus of safety and care, and to foster an atmosphere of trust, bonding and community building.
FLINTA* cuddle parties are facilitated by a female-presenting person, who also leads the interview process.
