What I got out of Cuddle Party personally: As an attendee, I get space to really dig deep in recognizing what I desire. As a facilitator, I get the thrill of helping an event take-off and become something larger than myself, and the privilege of watching everyone around me learn and explore in the most amazing ways. Plus, I could have sure used a cuddle party 10 years ago, and the next best thing to hopping in a time machine and giving it to myself is giving it to others right now.
