INTRODUCTION TO CONSENTUAL CUDDLING

Led by Jozelle and Fatima
WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE
~ welcome to the vibe ~
Relax and learn consensual communication and platonic cuddling basics in a gently guided exploration at the oh-so soothing Yogalution Movement studio.
We will use an alchemy of playful and well-tested exercises to exchange no-strings attached platonic touch and cuddles.
In this guided and experiential group session, participants will learn and practice consensual cuddling skills, such as:
Saying ‘no’ with self-compassion
Negotiating play agreements for every body’s pleasure
Communicating desires to connect with confidence and
Receiving platonic cuddles with trust and play
While touch is very welcome, it is not required to participate. There will be spaces to stim, witness, and take breaks.
There will also be much space to be part of platonic spoon trains, bear hugs and so much more.
