what this is…
Welcome to our guided experiential workshop on Cuddling.
Relax and let us guide you step by step into the charming realm of platonic touch aka Cuddling.
We will use well-tested sequences of fun exercises to create a container where we can safely exchange touch with each other.
Exchanging no-strings-attached platonic touch with a stranger reduces brain overwhelm within seconds and re-calibrates the body's fight-flight-freeze mechanism.
Substantial increase in person's creativity and well-being is often reported as the result.
Curious about cuddling? Watch this and learn more!
