SUMMARY:Happy Humanimals Cuddles and Connection
DESCRIPTION:Please register on eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cuddles-connection-tickets-1990351124793 \nWe’re glad you’re here! At Happy Humanimals we create a community cuddle experience that is about self-discovery\, connection\, and play. \nCuddles and Connection is our signature event where we teach and practice the core skills that are essential to our community: \nAsking for what we want\nSaying “no” clearly and kindly so that we can say “yes” to what truly excites us\nAccepting others’ boundaries with grace \nIf you’re new\, \nWe recommend arriving by 6:15p.\nWhen you arrive\, you’ll go through a brief check-in and orientation.\nThen you’ll be invited to find a seat in the circle on the low cushions. There’s a seat for each participant and lots of pillows and blankets to get comfortable.\nBefore we begin\, people settle in the circle\, some chatting and some sitting quietly or listening. \nThis 3.5 hour event is split into two halves: a communication skills workshop and open connection time. \nWe learn and practice the core skills in the workshop.\nThe workshop is designed to guide everyone through their first experience or their tenth.\nThe open connection time is self-guided\, and the facilitators are available for support.\nDuring open connection time\, participants might cuddle\, practice\, relax\, observe\, or take time for themselves.\nIt’s common to see pairs\, groups of three\, larger groups\, and individuals having time on their own.\nParticipants move through the cuddle space as they make requests\, invite someone new to their connection\, change their minds and move to something else\, and take breaks.\nThere are designated spaces for quiet solo time and making new connections. \nTo us\, cuddling means intentionally connecting and may or may not include physical contact. Some examples: \nHolding hands\nSpooning\nSitting side by side\nListening quietly\nMassaging shoulders\nEmbracing closely \nDoors open at 6:00p\, and we begin at 6:30p. To ensure everyone is on the same page\, no one is permitted to enter once we begin. However\, you are welcome to leave at any time — this sort of agency is essential in our community! \nParticipant capacity: minimum 8\, maximum 30. We generally have a mix of people who are brand new and regulars. \nAll touch will be fully clothed\, optional\, platonic\, and verbally requested and granted at all times. \nMany people attend solo\, but we love it when you invite your friends and partners. There will be no attempt to gender-balance. \nThis event is lovingly inspired by Cuddle Party™ and is co-created and co-facilitated by Anna Joy Reedy (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner\, Certified Cuddlist) and Ian Wilson (Certified Cuddlist). \nTestimonials\n“I remember the first time coming to Happy Humanimals\, I was relatively newly divorced and was feeling a loss of connection with myself and others\, also deep grief for loss of touch. Along with those feelings I was nervous about arriving\, what would be expected of me\, will my boundaries be crossed\, was this a very bad idea? I arrived and felt deeply held and cared for. I quickly felt quite safe and open to connection. I’ve been back often and it’s made a powerful impact in my life.”\n–Christa\, Bellevue \n“Since joining the Happy Humanimals workshops\, I’ve discovered a new level of self-acceptance\, a deeper sense of belonging\, and a feeling of safety within myself. My family has definitely noticed the positive shift in my mental health and well-being since I started attending.”\n—Luke\, Ballard \nPlease register on eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cuddles-connection-tickets-1990351124793
