How Does It Work?
The event begins with a welcome circle, gentle relaxation exercises, and communication activities to introduce cuddle etiquette. Afterward, attendees have the option to participate in a “cuddle lab,” where all touch is consensual and optional. You’ll experience increased well-being, reduced blood pressure, a sense of belonging, and an overall boost in compassion and connection. You’re free to leave at any point if it’s not quite your thing!
