Yes!! You heard right--a Cuddle Party!!!
That is what we will do!
Lay around and hug, cuddle, snuggle, hold hands, put heads in laps, rub backs, feet, hands. Relax, breath, hold ourselves, nap, and rest.
All with consent, slowing down, communication and awareness.
The holidays can be a stressful time. Come and participate in gentle, nourishing, non-sexual intimacy.
We open with a Welcome Circle stating intentions, and connecting to the space, ourselves, the practice, and one another. Marisa will guide us in some consent and communication guidelines and exercises that will help set the tone of our time together.
We are all touch deprived. Soft slow touch with our consent, hugs, connecting our bodies and holding and being held is healing to our nervous systems, immune systems, brains and just feels great!! It can bring up feelings and may be unusual in this context. It may not be everyone's cup of tea. But for many of us we try it and we like it. We are mammals, we need touch and our communities and ways of connecting socially don’t facilitate enough touch for most of us.
We will practice being held. By one another, angels, pure presence.
Come join us. Try it. Go at your own pace. We will have snacks and tea so you can chill and have quiet conversation, make new or old friends and just check it out. We will end with a closing circle, a meditation and some prayer.
May we all be Held and Loved.
