There is vast literature of the benefits of hugging and yet we are a touch-deprived society. We are afraid to touch, to ask for touch, and to reach out for the touch we need.
This snuggle party is a workshop for adult participants on the art of consensual and boundary-appropriate touch. The premise of cuddle parties is the recognition that the 'need to be held' is very close to and equally vital as more conventionally accepted human needs like thirst, hunger, and sex.
We'd like to invite you to come co-create this safe space in which all genders can begin to communicate more authentically and listen profoundly.
In this space, you will have the benefit of doing as little or as much as you desire – and will be encouraged to just be you. You will learn to create strong boundaries for yourself without shutting others down and begin to be more open to others and able to give and receive comfortably, and be touched, valued and nurtured.
NB: The Snuggle Party is a clothes-on workshop.
The Snuggle Party workshop is presented by Dr Martha Tara Lee (from Eros Coaching in Singapore) who strives to be one of the best sexologists in the world. Curious Creatures is proud to partner with her sex-positive events.
If you're interested in this workshop you may want to check out Dr Martha Lee's other upcoming workshops. Or Curious Creatures' associated workshops, Curiously Social Creatures (at the pub), and The Forest: Touch & Embodiment Ritual.

Tickets, Logistics, and Late Policy:
Tickets are released in ‘rounds’, where ‘round one’ and ‘round two’ tickets are discounted to encourage you to book in early. There is no other difference between the ‘rounds’ of tickets. Tickets range in price from $55 to $80, per person. It is never possible to buy tickets on the door, nor by paying with cash. See our FAQ for more information on this. Workshops start at the advertised time, and doors will be locked ten minutes later. This is because late arrivals interrupt the dynamic of the group, and will miss crucial safety information. |

"I attended my first hugging party hosted by Dr Martha Lee in September. I went into the event with a curious mind not knowing what to expect. There were 8 other participants and initially there were shyness and apprehension in the air not knowing what to do. The host Martha did a great job with a series of short exercises which involves eye contact, hand holding and sending warm loving intention to each other to shorten our distance and ease us into the trusting mood and to provide a safe space to be who we are. We also did some affirmation and assertive exercise which I have found very useful to bring about self awareness and to learn to listen to our body. The session ended with group massage, spontaneous and friendly group hug at the end of which we all felt like best friends after a mere two hours of interaction. All in all it has been a really refreshing and unique experience, something I would definitely recommend for people who are looking to live life in vibrant colours.”

“Hugging party was a unique experience. At first it might seem something you want to avoid, after a while you realise that it is actually a genuine experience. Again, you relied too much on the 1st impression. It actually feels good and if you have an open mind for new and unique experiences, I suggest you explore the Hugging party.”
