Queer Women/ Trans/ NB Cuddle Up Event
People within this community have an opportunity to connect & cuddle with each other. No worries, we'll establish ground rules and introduce ourselves first. Boundaries and consent are important, so no one has to cuddle with anyone at all. The goal is to co-create a fun, cuddly event that leaves us feeling empowered, connected, & blissed out.
Event Dates Coming Soon
This event is held every 4th Friday!
Beyond BLM Stickers: Creating An Actively Anti-Racist Practice
This workshop is designed to give professional cuddlers and other healers a better idea of what practices can invite diversity, deeper understanding, and greater support for underrepresented groups.
Attendees will get the opportunity to do the following:
- Brainstorm inclusive practices
- Unpack unconscious biases
- Develop compassionate views
- Explore tough questions around race, sexual orientation, etc.
We are all still learning. Perfection is not required, but compassion is.
So You Want to be a Professional Cuddler
This is an introductory webinar designed to give you a better idea of what 1 on 1 professional cuddling is like, what it takes to make this business sustainable, and how to get started. You will leave with more clarity about whether you want to pursue this line of work and what your next steps are if you do.
Event Dates Coming Soon
You will also get the opportunity to befriend others just getting started, so that you can assist each other, share ideas, and vent about things that other friends won't truly understand.
I primarily hold events for underrepresented groups. These events are intended as safer spaces for these specific groups, allowing individuals to build community in meaningful ways.
When we can feel truly seen and accepted by in-group members,
we can feel at ease in a way that is often rare, but always needed.
A note about Covid-19:
I am still planning to have my scheduled events on the dates listed. If you have specific questions feel free to email me at shawn@ourtouchpoints.com. Click the link below for more info about how Cuddle Santuary is promoting safety within the cuddle community. I will be following these practices.
