WHAT IS CUDDLE PARTY®? (From CuddleParty.com) Cuddle Party® is … a workshop! Though touch is natural, the skills that make it welcome and enjoyable should be learned. The skills of communication, boundary setting, asking for what you want, and saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ with clarity and kindness are practiced. Cuddle Party® is led by trained and certified Cuddle Party® Facilitators. That’s me, Amanda. This workshop is to guide you into those skills gently and easily, in a fun, safe and light hearted, nurturing way. It is to welcome you and create an atmosphere of respect, and remain available for questions and support. At a Cuddle Party® you gain: * Clarity and confidence * Boundary and communication skills * Comfort, support and encouragement. • All gender identities, lifestyles and ethnicities bu are welcome. The cost of this event is $40 with sliding scale if you are in need just reach out to me with questions. I am also offering early bird tickets for $30 each. The value of this event is well worth it. Learning to communicate is helpful in any relationship. The tickets are non refundable unless you attend the whole welcome circle and decide that this isn’t the event for you. Also, ticket sales will end 48 hrs before event for planning purposes. The event is held at my home in a room set up behind my garage detached from the house. There are 2 steps up to get into the main house to use the restroom. I also have cats in my home that I lock up when people are here but they do not go into the cuddle space. This is their home and they welcome you to come and join if you are open to it. Worried about who is coming please read the attached from my colleague Jean from cuddle sanctuary. https://events.humanitix.com/cuddle-party-9yeplabb ETIQUETTE Arrive on time: once we begin the Welcome Circle Cuddle orientation, the doors will close and no one else will be admitted. This creates comfort and accountability by ensuring that everyone has heard the rules and expectations and has agreed to them. What to wear: Comfy G rated clothes. What to bring: Just you and any munchies you want to snack on and water in a closed container. Scents can make small spaces feel even smaller.

Los Angeles 🇺🇸 Practical Philosophy Meetup

Los Angeles 🇺🇸 Practical Philosophy Meetup

Tue, Sep 15, 2:00 AM
From Practical Philosophy Club 🇺🇸 Los Angeles
4.8

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. If the group gets bigger than 10-15 people, we will consider breaking into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow and ensure everyone has a chance to participate. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy begins at 7:00p and follows this general timeline: * 7:00-7:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 7:15-7:25 - Explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, review the discussion guidelines so attendees know what to expect. * 7:25-8:45 - Main discussion on the selected topic - allow the conversation to evolve organically and/or use the ‘jump-off’ questions as prompts to guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 8:45-9:00 - Wrap up and closing thoughts. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 9:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! To support our venue, we ask that you buy a beverage/snack. Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). **🤝POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨** Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 35 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈

Community Cuddles with Mare

Community Cuddles with Mare

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!
