Cuddle Party (Porto)

!! Important !! To join this session, get in touch with the team via WhatsApp or Telegram (see below).

A cuddle party is a collective space of tactile and bodily experience, and a safe and caring setting. People come here to heal, relax and feel supported. We usually gather ±10 people doing the practice.

The practice is consent-based, which means that each person retains their agency and can freely choose whether or not to interact. Interactions require verbally expressed mutual agreement and must comply with the event rules. Taking breaks and witnessing the practice are also possible ways of being present.

The contribution: optimal: 15e, abundant: 20e. The amount you pay doesn't affect your process, it just makes the price flexible. We have a charity option of 10e contribution; if you're unemployed or facing difficulties, please make sure to let us know in advance.

Coming on time is essential: please plan your arrival for 16:45-17:00. We close doors at 17:10. A cuddle process is focused on providing a caring and safe environment. All guests start the process at the same time, in a structured manner. For this reason, we cannot welcome latecomers.

To join this session, please get in touch with the facilitator (via Telegram or WhatsApp: +351 911 196 337) and pass a short friendly interview. Do it no later than 24 hours before the event, otherwise we can't guarantee we have enough time to process it. The interview lets us be sure that guests are aware of the rules and know what to expect. This builds a caring setting for the whole event.

This event is promoted via several platforms, so the number of people who have checked-in on Meetup is misleading.
