Mindful Touch Austin Holiday Party!

Did you ask Santa for cuddles this Christmas? If you didn’t, no fear a FREE Holiday Cuddle Event is here!

This event is open to anyone who has previously attended a Mindful Touch Austin workshop or retreat (Cuddle and Connect, Connecting with Mindful Touch, or the Soothe your Soul retreat.) If you haven’t attended a MIndful Touch event but have previously attended an official Cuddle Party event hosted by a certified Cuddle Party facilitator, you are invited to attend too!

Note: While this event follows Cuddle Party® rules, it is not an official Cuddle Party®!

What To Expect:

Similar to our other cuddle events, we will create a safe environment for food, fun, and cuddles. To maximize time for holiday fun, we will provide an abbreviated welcome circle to go over the cuddle party rules.

We will play cuddle-related games and activities.

Please help to make this event special by bringing a “potluck” style dish to share… homemade or purchased, your participation is coveted. (No alcohol please).

Lastly, in the spirit of the holiday season, we encourage you to wear cuddle party-appropriate holiday-themed clothing or hats. Of course, this is not a requirement, so you may wear whatever you have that is comfortable and allows you to move freely.

We welcome all adults, regardless of gender or orientation. Singles and couples are both invited to attend.

Tickets:

While this event is free, spaces are limited and registration is required. Please get your free slot using the ticket link below!

To minimize the risk associated with Covid-19, we ask that you stay home and not attend if, in the 48 hours before the event, you have developed symptoms of acute illness like fever, rash, cough, difficulty breathing, sudden loss of taste or smell, sore throat, or body ache. The normal cancellation policy will not apply for such cases, and any tickets will be credited towards a future event.

Location:

The exact address will be sent to ticket purchasers before the event. Please be on time, and account for Austin traffic. The events are held in a residential neighborhood, so please be mindful of the parking situation. There is some street parking, but you may need to park on a neighboring street.

Doors close exactly 30 minutes after the posted start time, and the Cuddle Party® welcome circle begins. To create a safe container for all attendees, we do not admit anyone after the Cuddle Party® welcome circle has started.

Covid-19 Guidelines:

The event will be held indoors in a private home. The meeting areas and surfaces will be sanitized and disinfected before the event and air filtration equipment will be operational in the meeting area. Hand sanitizer and disposable masks will be provided for those who need them.

At the time of this announcement, the city of Austin is designating the risk of community spread for covid-19 as “low.” As such, this event is operating at full capacity. Since the nature of this event involves interacting with other participants close proximity, all participants are asked to sign an acknowledgement stating they understand the risks associated with Covid-19 and their participation before being admitted to the event.

Be Prepared:

No need to bring mats or bedding, as these will be provided for you at the event. If you have your favorite pillow, blanket, stuffed animal, etc. please feel free to bring it.

Scent:

Being in close vicinity to others at a gathering not only offers an opportunity to touch, hear, and see, but to smell as well. Please be mindful of your scent and hygiene so everyone can have a pleasant experience. Heavy use of perfumes or other scented products can distract from the experience and are highly discouraged.

Photography:

The privacy of participants is important at Cuddle Party. We ask that you please refrain from taking any pictures or audio/video recordings while in the cuddle space. We invite you to turn off your phones and/or other gadgets and use this time as an escape from our busy schedules.

What to Wear?

Cuddle Party is a non-sexual event. Clothes stay on the entire time. Comfortable clothes like pajamas, shorts, leggings, t-shirts, etc., are ideal for cuddling. You can change at the event if you need to.

Refreshments:

This holiday event is potluck-style. We ask that everyone bring a dish to share (no alcohol please).
