Cuddle Party!
🎉 The Cuddle Studio Turns One!
Embrace Club’s cuddle studio — the only one of its kind in New York City — is celebrating its first anniversary! Our cozy space has become a haven for safe, platonic touch and authentic human connection, and I’d love to celebrate this milestone with you.
Join us for a soft evening of warmth, popcorn, and easy company. This is not a sexual event. Everything is consent-led. Come solo or with your partner—whatever feels most comfortable.
I’m currently completing my Cuddle Party® facilitator certification, and this event is part of my training.
What we’ll do
We’ll begin with simple agreements and interactive activities to explore boundaries and consent together. This part of the evening is a gentle workshop, giving you tools to express your needs and listen to others with clarity. These skills can empower you to approach relationships of all kinds with more confidence.
Afterward, we’ll ease into relaxed cuddle time. You’ll have the option to join in freestyle hugging and cuddling, take breaks, read, or just chat. Comfort, choice, and clear communication come first.
Who Is This For?
Adults who want safe, non-sexual touch and connection. Perfect if you’d like to:
Practice saying yes and no
Enjoy closeness without dating or sex
Explore boundaries and consent
Relax, connect, and build community
No experience needed—just curiosity and respect. Couples are welcome.
Money
Donation based. Contribute what feels right. I can also provide my Venmo account for lower or higher donations.
Food & drinks
Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
What to bring
Comfy clothes to change into, like pajamas or soft loungewear
A favorite book or journal if you’d like quiet time
Cozy socks or a small blanket if that helps you relax
Snacks and non-alcoholic and non-sticky to share
