Event

Cuddle Party !!!

We're thrilled to host Whole's first Cuddle Party with Marcia Baczynski! Marcia is a co-founder of Cuddle Party and a fantastic presenter.

What is a Cuddle Party? It is a fun, playful event for adults to explore communication and touch in a safe, non-sexual setting.

The party kicks off with a "Welcome Circle" led by Marcia, the purpose of which is to establish the structure of the event, and in which everyone is given an opportunity to introduce themselves, be led through several communication/ice-breaker exercises, and learn the Cuddle Party rules.

Then we have the actual Cuddle Party, in which participants socialize and cuddle, in accordance with the event's rules. It ends with a "Closing Circle," in which we sum up the evening's activities.

The Ground Rules

WHAT TO WEAR: Pajamas - nothing too risqu. Think more comfy than sexy. (More drawstrings, less lace! No shorts.)

WHAT TO BRING: A pillow or stuffed animal if you like. Juice or sparkling cider is always welcome. Sorry, no liquor folks. Otherwise, just bring your smiling self.

STICK TO THE RULES:

Pajamas stay on the whole time. You don't have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever. You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone. (Be as specific in your request as you can.) If you're a yes, say YES. If you're a no, say NO. If you're a maybe, say NO. You are encouraged to change your mind anytime you want.

Tickets are $30 or $50 for two (bring a friend! someone you want to cuddle!).
