From Cuddle Events - SoCal
4.9

[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-cuddles-with-mare-september-2026-tickets-1998392647203?aff=oddtdtcreator) A social workshop to learn about boundaries and then cuddling, no touch is required! Address given to attendees and space is limited Join me at Community Cuddles with Mare where you can relax in a welcoming environment and feel connected to yourself and a sweet group of people. All genders and orientations - individuals, groups and couples - are all welcome. HEALTH REQUIREMENTS - To keep our events safe, here are our health requirements for attendance: do not attend if you are feeling sick or have closely been around someone who is sick. If you are sick you can get a refund from the host or a slot at another event. Community Cuddles with Mare is a guided social experience that includes a welcome circle, easy relaxation activities, communication exercises and a description of cuddle etiquette. The event culminates in a "cuddle laboratory." Touch is always consensual and never a requirement to participate. At CCwM, you may experience an increased sense of well being and belonging, a boost in compassion and playfulness, a decrease in blood pressure and a better night's sleep. Community Cuddles with Mare provides opportunities to meet new friends, connect with partners and pals in a soulful new way and be part of a warm, safe and huggable tribe. My events are accessable for all, meaning that if you don't want to get up and down from the floor, you don't have to! There are lots of surfaces to lie and sit on and there is elevator access. Your hostess, Mare \~ I am a certified Cuddlist and I can be booked for individuals or couples cuddling. This work is very important to me and for more than eight years I have provided safe, platonic touch in the San Gabriel valley area of Los Angeles. My style is motherly nurturance and acceptance. These cuddle events are the brainchild of Cuddle Sanctuary and follow the safe container protocols that I learned when I trained and certified to lead group cuddling events with Jean Franzblau. 03:00 PM - 06:00 PM ### 2:45 Arrive and get settled. NOTE: doors close at 3:15 sharp ### Guidelines These guidelines are like the “etiquette of cuddling." We’ll go over all of them and answer any questions you have during the workshop. Here are some important ones: Keep attendance confidential (unless given permission). There’s no touch required (and you can change your mind at any time). Respect the boundaries of others (ideally with enthusiasm). Keep activities at a Rated G level and conversation at PG-13. Ask and Wait - if you want to touch someone, ask. Then wait for the answer. Please read ALL of the information on the [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-cuddles-with-mare-september-2026-tickets-1998392647203?aff=oddtdtcreator) page; it is very detailed for a reason. Creating a safe container for platonic touch is what sets the standard for our events. We look forward to seeing you there!
