Intimacy Jams

A space for connection and community without complexity. Practice consent and communication skills in a safe, structured environment. Explore touch. Feel held.

Every Intimacy Jam is different, with specific themes and activities. More importantly, each time, the unique mix of participants is different, and they co-create exactly the experience they need.

Agreements 

Sober, non-sexual space
I will lean away from sexual charge if it arises, and give it space to dissipate.
Confidentiality
I will speak about my own experiences and about the event, but I will not name other participants. 
Self Care and Authenticity
I will aim to be self-aware, to care for my own needs and boundaries and to express my desires. 
I will aim to be authentic and open myself to intimacy. 
Care for Others and Consent
I will care for others as best I can, seeking consent before acting, celebrating noes, checking in with others’ needs and respecting their experience. 
Repair
I will try to repair any slips or accidents that occur.

Cuddle Party

These events used to be called Cuddle Parties. Intimacy Jams have the same general structure as a Cuddle Party. We have found that the new name invites more depth and co-creation.

Intimacy vs. Cuddles

The term “cuddle” suggests that it is the main or only activity at a Cuddle Party. But so many modes of connection are possible! The word “intimacy” welcomes a much broader range to an event, and switches the focus from the action of cuddling to the feeling of intimacy.

Jam vs. Party

A “jam” is a co-creation. Everybody supports one another. There is no right way to do it; everybody participates in a way that feels good to them. A “party” is a social thing filled with social expectations and many potential stresses. It is often an energetic affair.

“Cuddle Party” didn’t really describe the essence of the events well. But “Intimacy Jam” fits just right! And naming it this way invites even more of the good stuff.

Moving in Circles

A movement and dance space where we create a culture of connection and creative expression in a safe container.

Let us gather in circles, like humans have done for millenia. Let us connect with ourselves first, and then with each other, as is our nature. Let us move together, in creative expression, so we can thrive. Let us hold each other in authenticity and in safety, to build community. 

Explore duos, trios, and more, coming together as a group and moving apart, all in a safe, playful container. Where we take care of each other, co-regulate, co-create and have fun.
