Please note- This is a fundraiser for Tranzmission. &nbsp;100% of the money brought in will be donated to this awesome organization!!! I&#39;ve been volunteering with them since 2020 and they are needing $$ &nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="https://tranzmission.org/" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://tranzmission.org/</a> This is an event for people&nbsp;who identify as LGBTQIA+. The intention of this event is to build community and provide a supportive place for participants to explore physical touch in a sweet and platonic way.&nbsp;No one turned away for lack of funds (please ask if you truly need a scholarship or work trade but also be aware that this is a fundraiser). This is a non-sexual touch based event&nbsp;that invites participants to explore platonic intimacy in a safe environment&nbsp;with like-minded people. We respect personal boundaries and through a supportive framework of mutual agreements that maximize safety and create a space of easy openness and compassionate connection.At this event we have the chance to normalize touch and intimacy with clear boundaries; this is a space for respectful, consent-based touch. We allow ourselves to be seen. We have fun. We get our touch needs met.We welcome people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, economic statuses, races, spiritual or religious beliefs, sizes, and ages (18+). THE RULES&nbsp;1. Clothes stay on for the whole event.2. You do not have to touch anyone at this event.3. You must ask permission and receive a verbal YES before you touch anyone. Please be specific in your requests.4. If you feel a yes, say YES. If you feel a no, say NO. If you&rsquo;re a maybe, say NO. You can always change your mind.5. Get your facilitator if you have a question or concern, or if you need assistance with anything during the event.6. Talking, laughter, silence, silliness, stillness, and crying are welcome.&nbsp; WHY CUDDLE?Touch is a basic human need, and many of us do not get enough; most people don&rsquo;t even know they are missing touch, or have a way to ask for touch without sexualizing it. We believe deeply in the power of touch, and the importance of communication and consent in creating a safe space for touch.&nbsp;CUDDLING WITH STRANGERSCuddling with strangers sounds weird or scary to most people. &ldquo;Will I like it?&rdquo; &ldquo;What if someone wants to touch me and I don&rsquo;t want to?&rdquo; &ldquo;What if I say yes and it&rsquo;s not what I want?&rdquo; &ldquo;What if I really want to touch someone and they say no?&rdquo; These are all normal questions. The answer is that this is a space created to ask for exactly what you want, and receive NOTHING you don&rsquo;t want. Many people start out nervous at a cuddle event. Most are really, really glad they came. ETIQUETTE<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="box-sizing:inherit;" style="box-sizing:inherit;">ARRIVE ON TIME: It is important that all participants arrive before the Welcome Circle.
