About the cuddle parties:

We host all-gender cuddle parties every month, but for the very first time we will be hosting a special gathering only for those who identify as female or non-binary!

There is a special kind of connection that can arise when this group of people comes together. In this space, we welcome you to come together to meet each other, connect, and find support and healing. Emma from The Cuddle Couple will help to create a loving and sacred container where you can rest, find warmth and friendship, where you can laugh and cry, and perhaps find a piece of yourself that had been missing. 

During this event, you will gently be guided through an opening circle and warm-up exercises. A soft cool-down towards the end will help us collect ourselves post cuddle puddle. 

We will meet in a space filled with plants, plush pillows, comfy blankets, soothing scents, gentle music, and warm earthy tones. Caring touch and cuddles will be the focus of the event, however a comforting solo zone is also available if you would like non-touch time. 

We look forward to gathering together.

​

Cost: 

Admission cost is $40/person or $60/two people.

​

Registration:

As these are popular events, advanced booking is required. To reserve your spot, please go to our booking page here. Alternatively, you can send an e-transfer to torontocuddlecouple@gmail.com. If covid restrictions prevent us from running the cuddle party, you will be refunded the paid amount (hopefully we won't have to worry about this again!). You will also be refunded if you cancel more than 48 hours in advance. Those that cancel within 48 hours will receive a 50% refund. 

​

Location:

The specific location will be sent to you once you have confirmed your attendance and registered. We are located in Liberty Village in downtown Toronto (closest intersection: Dufferin and King). 

​

Plan: 

4pm: Arrivals and check-in

4:15pm: Opening circle, review of guidelines, icebreakers

4:45pm: Doors close, cuddle time begins

​

Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time.
