Cuddle Power!


Picture
The Cuddle Dome Workshops at Rootwire

As a unique, hands-on way of experiencing the healing power of human touch and as an up-close-and-personal, highly intactive source of accelerated transformational community building, the Cuddle Dome will host two types of Cuddle Sessions throughout the duration of the festival. 

1) Guided Cuddle Sessions will be offered as workshop classes introducing attendees to the healing and love-encouraging practice of group and individual cuddling. 
2) Surpervised Cuddle Sessions will be scheduled as unguided yet closely surpervised, non-sexual, freely open sessions for already initiated groups and individuals ready to cuddle in a safe and comfortable, chill-music-filled environment.

​What to expect

Guided Cuddle Session


• Minimum of ten people; maximum of 20 people: A Guided Cuddle Session will happen only if there are a minimum of ten people present and ready to go when the session is scheduled to start. Each session will be limited to 20 people. If there are large numbers of people wanting to attend these sessions, more sessions will be scheduled.

• Session Time: 50 minutes

• Introduction: Your Cuddle Guide will welcome session attendees, provide an overview of session goals, and give a short talk explaining the healing power of human touch and the benefits of community building through the practice of group and individual cuddling.

• Individual touch practice: Your Cuddle Guide will pair familiar people with each other and teach them ways to touch non-sexually with the intent to more deeply connect as human beings.

• Group Icebreaker exercises: Your Cuddle Guide will lead group exercises designed to allow attendees to slowly warm up to the power of group cuddling.

• Guided Cuddling: Your Cuddle Guide will lead group cuddling activities intended to open attendees up to making deeper connections with unfamiliar others.

• At the end of the Guided Cuddle Session attendees will have the option to move on to enjoy other aspects of the festival or to stay and cuddle longer as part of the immediately following Supervised Cuddle Session.

Supervised Cuddle Session

• No minimum number of attendees; Maxium will be determined by the Cuddle Supervisor based on the present mood and vibe.

• Session Time: 50 minutes

• Anyone may attend as long as they understand appropriate cuddle etiquette and are conscious, quiet, respectful, and willing to help the Cuddle Supervisor kept things safe and comfortable, especially if there is any questionable behavior.

• Anyone may enter, leave, or return at any time during the session within these guidelines: 1) The Cuddle Supervisor will determine how mnay people to let in to the session. When he or she determines the dome is full, those wanting to get in will have to wait until others leave to take their place. 2) If you leave and want to return, you must inform the Cuddle Supervisor, and then you will be allowed 10 mintues to return. If you leave without informing the Cuddle Supervisor or take longer than 10 mintes, your place will be given to another, and you will have to wait for another available spot if there is a line. 3) You may stay as long as the session lasts or leave any time you want to. 4) Attendees will be allowed in to each Supervised Cuddle Session on a first-come, first-servered basis. 5) Before entering, you will be asked if you know, understand, and agree to follow Cuddle Dome Etiquette. (The Cuddle Dome Etiquette will be posted outside the Cuddle Dome for everyone to read.) You must answer in the afirmitive to be allowed entry.
