About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours 30 minutes

Have recent events left you feeling deprived of opportunities for touch?

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, isolated, or alone?

Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no?

Do you struggle to ask for what you really want?


If any of this sounds like you or you are just curious then you are invited to pack your PJs, your favorite pillow, and a healthy snack to share and give yourself the gift of Cuddles with Consent.

***PLEASE NOTE: These events do fill up fast and do sell out every time. Make sure to get your ticket in advance as we sadly had to turn away several people at the door last time due to capacity.***

What to Expect

The first hour will be a workshop on consent and communication. We will discuss the rules of cuddling, play games, and practice saying Yes and No. This will include an opportunity to state boundaries and set intentions.

In the second part we will open the space to "Freestyle" cuddling. Here you will be invited to explore with your fellow Cuddle Monsters and practice the skills you learned during the workshop. You will have a safe space to ask for what you want and negotiate with others to find connection that is mutually supportive.

Possibilities Include:

  • Massages
  • Head Scratching
  • Spooning
  • Watching/observing
  • Saying "No" to everything
  • Talking
  • Dancing
  • Holding hands
  • Napping
  • Hugs
  • Reading a book

Conscious, consensual, non-sexual touch possibilities are endless.

You can expect to experience a deeper sense of connection that can sometimes lead to new friendship, personal insights/awareness, feelings of belonging, tears or laughter.


What to Bring

  • Bring your curiosity, playfulness, and sense of adventure.
  • Please wear clothing that is cozy, clean, comfy, and helps you feel relaxed. There will be space to change when you arrive.
  • You are encouraged to bring your favorite pillow or blanket. Stuffed animals are also very welcome.
  • There will be some light snacks provided. Please consider bringing something to share.

Meet Your Facilitator: Isaac

Isaac Reyes is a social worker serving New Jersey's disabled community. Personal heartache brought him to cuddle events 2 years ago where he discovered the healing power of platonic touch. He recognizes we are not born knowing how to navigate such intimate connections. Thus, he partners with the Tantra Institute on a mission of teaching anyone how to become a better lover in every aspect of their life.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I have to be on time?

The Welcome Circle orientation establishes our communication and boundary skills for the evening. This creates clarity and safety that lets everyone relax and know they are on the same page. If you arrive after we begin, sorry, we will not be able to let you in.

What should I wear?

Wear cozy PJs or sweats (no short shorts, tank tops, or lingerie—think flannel, not lace). Skip perfumes or scents so it’s easier to cuddle you! Feel free to bring a pillow or teddy bear too.

What if no one wants to cuddle with me?

It’s normal to worry about this—you’re not alone! Everyone has full choice in giving/receiving touch, and we celebrate ‘No’ as healthy boundary-setting. If you’re feeling unsure, your Facilitator is there to support you.

Is this a singles event?

Nope! This isn’t a dating or hookup event. It’s about connection, consent, and nurturing touch. Some people make new friends (and occasionally more), but the focus is on platonic connection.
