This workshop is to help prepare you to facilitate safe & successful cuddle events. We will go over how to set up events, get participants, teach consent, boundary, communication and touch skills, and create a safe welcoming space. This training is good for anyone who is looking to feel comfortable or go deeper with facilitation skills, wants to create a safe touch positive community, and has a desire to make a positive impact for people looking for connection.  You participate in a snuggle party Friday evening so that you will have the framework for how I facilitate. In this workshop we will discuss what makes a successful event, we will review, participate and practice additional icebreakers and connection activities, we will talk about pros and cons of different size groups and to or not to “gender balance”. We will talk about how to help support people who are struggling to engage/connect, and how to handle a breach of consent. Additional topics we will cover include hosting events for special populations, how/where to advertise, how to keep the energy up for ongoing events, and any other topics you think will help you host your own events.  If you are someone who has attended my events or heard of cuddle events and thought “I think I want to offer this”, come get trained so you have more confidence and understanding of what goes into creating and hosting an event.  This training aims to give you the tools, skills, and confidence to host your own touch based workshops.  The goal is to prepare you offer safe events for participants of all sorts of backgrounds.
