Cuddle & Connect Gathering

​Cuddle & Connect Gathering is a playful yet grounded, consent-centered space for exploring non-sexual touch and connection. The gathering emphasizes communication, boundaries, and personal choice. By keeping touch intentional and optional, participants are invited to explore connection in a way that feels safer, relaxed, and accessible.

​We begin with an opening circle and establish shared agreements to create a supportive container. From there, we practice simple exercises that develop awareness of boundaries and consent. These practices support clarity around yes and no and help build a shared understanding of consent.

​The gathering then shifts into a more open period of connection. Participants may choose to cuddle, share hugs or back rubs, rest quietly, talk, or simply witness others. Participation progresses at an individual pace, with full choice to change one’s mind, take breaks, or opt out at any time.

​The environment is cozy, sober, and relaxed. There is no expectation to touch or be touched. The invitation is to listen to yourself, honor your needs, and experience connection in a way that feels nourishing and authentic.

​Please wear comfortable clothing. Bring a pillow and/or your favorite blanket.

​We meet at The Attic. The building is accessible.

This is a donation-based event. Non-members of Maybeitsfate are asked to contribute a $20 donation to the co-op, in addition to the workshop donation.
