Snuggle Sundays -- and the rules for Cuddle Party™

🌿 Snuggle Sundays at Wild Nature Reiki 🌿

We’re beginning a new tradition here at Wild Nature Reiki — Snuggle Sundays! These gatherings are a space for rest, comfort, and genuine, consent-based connection. They will follow the Cuddle Party™ rules.

Because my space is cozy and my capacity is limited, Snuggle Sundays will start as invitation-only events. I want to make sure everyone who attends feels safe, respected, and at ease.

To join future Snuggle Sundays, participants need to have some consent training. You’re warmly invited to attend my course, “The Art of Consent,” offered every other Sunday. This is where you’ll learn the foundations of clear communication, boundary awareness, and authentic yeses and nos — and it’s also the best way to be welcomed into the Snuggle Sunday circle.

Let’s build a community where connection grows from clarity, respect, and care. 💚

🪶 Cuddle Party™ Rules — Expanded Edition

1. Sensual, not sexual: pajamas stay on at all times.This space is for connection, comfort, and consent — not sexual activity. Pajamas or comfy clothes help everyone feel safe and equal. The goal is nurturing platonic touch and emotional safety.

2. You never have to cuddle anyone you don’t want to, ever.Consent is the foundation of every interaction. You are free to say no for any reason — or no reason at all — and your “no” will always be honored. Your body and your boundaries belong to you.

3. You must ask permission and receive a verbal “Yes” before you touch anyone.Touch begins with a clear ask and an enthusiastic yes. A nod or silence isn’t enough — we practice explicit consent so no one has to guess what’s okay.

4. If you’re a Yes to an invitation, say “Yes.” If you’re a No, say “No.”Honesty keeps everyone safe. When we answer clearly, we model integrity and make space for authentic connection. Saying no is an act of care.

5. If you’re a Maybe, say “No.”“Maybe” can feel confusing. In this space, we treat it as a gentle no — until or unless it becomes a clear yes. You can always change your mind later.

6. You are encouraged to change your mind.Consent is a living process. You can say yes, then no, or no, then yes. Checking in with your comfort is a strength, not an inconvenience.

7. Respect your relationship boundaries and communicate with your partner(s).If you’re in a relationship, honor the agreements you have outside this event. Be transparent and respectful so everyone stays emotionally safe.

8. Come get a facilitator if there’s a concern, problem, or any assistance you need.Facilitators are here to support you — if something feels off, confusing, or uncomfortable, you don’t have to handle it alone. Just raise a hand or approach quietly.

9. Tears and laughter are both welcome.Touch and connection can bring up big feelings — joy, sadness, tenderness, or release. All emotions are welcome here; there’s no “wrong” way to feel.

10. Respect people’s privacy when sharing about this event.You’re free to talk about your own experience, but don’t share anyone else’s story without permission. This keeps the space sacred, confidential, and trustworthy.
