| Favorite CP Rule |
# 6 You are encouraged to change your mind. So often in my life, I have been hesitant to change agreements or re-negotiate. The Libra peacemaker hasn't wanted to make waves. Now I consider my needs as well as others and if something isn't working, I look at what it's about and effect change if needed. |
| What I got out of CP personally |
An eye opening and heart opening view of who I really am. Permission to be fully human and not Wonder Woman. A new perspective on all my relationships; past, current in those who will enter my life. Greater range of emotion. Structure and accomplishment. Increased confidence. A whole bunch of new friends. Learning to stretch beyond self imposed limits and fears. I have taken MANY transformational trainings throughout my life and Cuddle Party far surpasses the lessons, growth and healng I have experienced thus far. Each time I facilitate, my issues come up for healing, same as the participants. |
Who I am as a CP Facilitator /
What you'll find at my CPs |
As a Cuddle Party Facilitator, I am true to myself, in integrity, aware of my own human-ness, offering that to those who attend the parties. I am in touch with the needs of my guests by getting my ego out of the way and really listening to what is being said and what is not being said. I am trusting each time that 'the event will go as the event will go.' (my new mantra that applies to every aspect of my life.)
What you'll find at my CP's ...lots of laughter and lightheartedness, as well as room for whatever emotions arise. Warmth and safety for my guests to just BE, since I'm giving myself permission for that too.
Cuddle-monials about Edie's Cuddle Parties:
My husband and I attended a CP faciliated by Edie. She happens to be th e minister who officiated at our wedding. How special is that, to begin with?! I was so looking forward to having time to cuddle with my husband because, for many different reasons, we were not making enough time to cuddle on our own. My primary reservation was cuddling outside the relationship and being such a people pleaser that I would have a difficult time in rejecting someone else's requests. Well, that was never an issue at this cuddle party. I also was able to accept an answwer of "Maybe later" from someone. I lovingly shared head massages with others. It was exquisitely deep and compassionate; a completely new level of communicating for me. I couldn't believe how starved for touch I was outside my marriage. And I loved showing off my favorite night gown.

"The struggle for me was getting motivated to come to this cuddle party. I am a very affectionate person. I share affection with family, friends, my men's group, sometimes my co-workers, etc... I had fear of the cuddle party at first. In my relationship with my wife, I do not feel confident as a lover due to sexual arousal difficulties. I was concerned that I would be jealous if my wife was cuddling with another man or even another woman. Then I opened my mind and my heart to the idea and even looked forward to it for a while. When it came time to actually get in the car and go, I began feeling depressed, unlovable, angry and I wanted only to hide. I tried to avoid going and I used some creative excuses. During those difficult moments, I could not see myself letting anyone get within 100 yards of me, except for my wife. I told myself that I decided to go mainly because I wanted to please my wife wanted to go. Well, I got up the courage to enter the room and then best of all, I got u p the courage to say that I was in a real shitty mood and I really did not want to be there. By saying those things, I opened the door to my healing. Edie did a wonderful job following the necessary rules and creating a truly safe space. I cuddled with my wife a good deal and I also touched and held and cuddled with others. By the end of the party, I was in full joy. There was definitely a residual affect on my wife and I. Since the cuddle party, we have been more loving and affectionate. We have been thinking more about our cuddle needs and each other's needs, instead of the usual racing through life that we do. We also have been more respectful of each other's personal physical boundaries. All in all, it was a truly rewarding experience. We were quite fortunate to have Edie as a facilitaor. She is a natural at doing cuddle parties.

"Barry and I want to thank you again for the Cuddle Party! We are still absorbing the experience and continuing the experience, as you said would happen. It was positive for us as individuals and as a couple. We also loved being part of the group and feel our lives enriched by the circle.
Love, and almost always YES to hugs, Debbie"
"Thank you for a warm and wonderful day! You are a
charasmatic individual and I admire your sweetness!
The people who were there were so nice to meet! Blessings on a foggy day!
Love,
Marilyn"
Edie supports a beautiful, safe, loving process of opening up to affection and connection between us. If your heart has been wounded, as many of ours have, this is at least Im finding it to be a very loving and compassionate way to open up, and love, or try to love again! - Ed K., Teacher, Musician, Artist
