Cuddle Party Inc.
Cuddle Party Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.
Cuddle Party Inc.’s mission is to nurture honest human connections by
- Creating opportunities to explore, learn and practice embodied communication;
- Supporting an inclusive community of practice; and
- Promoting accountability to core values of bodily-autonomy, self-determination and kindness.
Consent & Boundaries
The skills that make relationships enjoyable are learned. Consent and boundaries, asking for what you want, and saying Yes or No with clarity and kindness.
Nurturing Connection
Human beings of all ages need touch and affection. We never outgrow it. As we re-discover platonic touch and affection, we find connection – and fun!
Touch and Safety
As we learn consent skills, touch can become respectful and emotionally safe. Then we can relax and enjoy it, and experience all its benefits.
Learn The Skills That Make Touch Safe And Enjoyable
We have found, at the thousands of parties we have facilitated, that it is not the cuddling that most people come to learn. It is the boundaries and communication skills that are most appreciated by our participants. Once boundaries, choice and communication become easier, the cuddling happens quite naturally. Our Certified Facilitators create safety by leading the Welcome Circle, which teaches communication and boundary skills and helps everyone get comfortable, and by remaining available for any concerns that may arise.

ONLINE & IN PERSON EVENTS
Cuddle Party® Events are hosted by local people who have gone through a training and certification process. Of course, anyone can invite their friends over to cuddle (We wish more people did), but our Certified Facilitators are trained to teach the participants to make respectful invitations and communicate clear boundaries. Simply put, our Certified Facilitators help a room full of grown-ups in pajamas feel safe and comfortable while learning new skills and enjoying themselves!
