Hello, I am Will. I believe that adults are just kids in bigger bodies. I very much follow the philosophy that you never have to “grow up.” Instead as we grow we need to learn how to be mature. Now, how is this different than growing up? Growing up to a lot of people means having to be serious all the time and getting rid of your child like qualities to be a “respectable adult.” This is not true. As you come into adult hood, developing maturity means knowing when to be Responsible and when to Play and have Joy. You never have to give up your child hood, just expound and be more intentional with it. I have had a life of experiences, the good and the traumatic and much more in between the two. I know there are joys in this world, but quite frankly this world will try to beat it out of you given the chance. That is partially why I love practicing the martial arts. As a martial artist, I find joy in moving my body, discovering new techniques, and refining concepts to mastery. I love teaching people and guiding them through those same processes and helping them come to their own discoveries. At the same time, I also impart knowledge how to protect yourself from some of the dangers of the world without being afraid of the journey to pursue joy. Ask me more about my non-mastery-mastery of balance (^-^) In everything I do, be it at the dojo, at school, at work, at home, at events I am always an enthusiastic listener and teacher. I don’t claim to know everything or have all the answers, but, as the old adage goes, “Where there is a Will, there is a Way”, I am that Will, and I find Ways. I excitedly await your connection and to see what ‘Ways’ this ‘Will’ can help you find!

Favorite Cuddle Party Rule: It is really hard to pick just one but I love the trifecta effect of 4, 5, and 6, which is "Be True With Yourself and Others." There are so many times we don't want to offend or make someone feel bad, but in that same process we end up hurting them by wasting their time and disrespecting them by not providing an answer that would have freed them to move on. I love it when someone is honest with me and tells me no respectfully. I like to respond with "Thank you for being honest with me, I truly appreciate it!"

What I got out of Cuddle Party personally: I used to be so lonely and didn't know how to connect in the right ways that would allow others to feel safe connecting with me. For years I didn't know how to get the deep connection I knew I needed without compromising boundaries and that would typically push people further away from me. after my first cuddle party in my early thirties, I literally had this almost kind of "awakening" and I remember thinking to my self "Why didn't anyone ever teach me these skills? they are so simple and basic, but were never taught to me." People just assumed that I should have already known. However, that first cuddle party finally took the time to help me understand and practice these simple yet fundamental basics of how to know my own boundaries, support and maintain them, and how to see and respect others boundaries as the critical necessity they are. If there are no boundaries, then no one can get close enough for anyone to ask them of anything let alone connect in any sort of meaningful way. I am now a C3 Warrior and strive to teach Communication, Consent, and Connection amidst this Isolation and Loneliness Epidemic.
