The heart of Community Cuddles is learning to listen to your body\, honor your own boundaries\, and relate to others with clarity \, care\, and enthusiastic consent.\n\n**What to expect**\nWe begin withou t touch\, allowing each person to arrive in their own physical space and n otice what they are experiencing in their body. From that grounded place\, we establish our shared agreements and move into facilitated exercises de signed to help participants practice asking\, receiving\, declining\, nego tiating\, and changing their minds.\n\n**The workshop gradually unfolds th rough:**\n\n* Grounding and embodied awareness\n* Shared consent and commu nity agreements\n* Guided communication and boundary exercises\n* Practice giving and receiving authentic “yes” and “no”\n* Opportunities to make clear\, specific requests\n* Optional one-on-one and small-group con nection\n* Optional\, consensual community cuddling\n* Closing reflection and integration\n\nEvery activity is an invitation rather than an obligati on. You are always encouraged to participate at the level that feels right for you.\n\n**Touch is always optional**\nYou never have to touch or be t ouched.\nThere is no single “right” way to participate. Meaningful par ticipation may include practicing verbal communication\, observing an exer cise\, resting in your own space\, connecting without physical contact\, s taying close to someone you came with\, or spending time in the Solitude Z one.\nSaying no\, changing your mind\, pausing\, and choosing not to parti cipate in an activity are all respected and welcomed forms of participatio n.\n\n**Our core agreements**\nTo help create a clear and caring container \, participants agree that:\n\n* Everything is optional.\n* You never owe anyone a “yes.”\n* We honor the Solitude Zone.\n* Clothes remain on th roughout the event.\n* We ask for and receive a clear verbal “yes” bef ore touching anyone.\n* A “maybe” is treated as a “no.”\n* Everyon e may change their mind at any time.\n* Requests are made clearly and spec ifically.\n* Each person’s boundaries\, privacy\, and relationship agree ments are respected.\n* Facilitator support is available throughout the wo rkshop.\n\nThese agreements will be reviewed together before any partnered activities begin.\n\n**Who is Community Cuddles for?**\nCommunity Cuddles welcomes people of all genders\, orientations\, relationship statuses\, b ody types\, and levels of experience who would like to practice embodied c onsent and boundaries\, build confidence communicating their desires and n eeds\, explore safe\, nonsexual platonic touch\, and experience greater co nnection\, choice\, and belonging in a carefully facilitated environment.\ n\nYou are welcome to attend alone\, with a friend\, or with a partner.\n\ nNo previous experience with consent workshops\, somatic practices\, or co mmunity cuddling is needed.\nYou do not need to be naturally outgoing\, co mfortable with strangers\, or certain that you want to cuddle.\n\nThis is a platonic\, nonsexual environment centered on consent\, communication\, a nd respectful human connection. It is not a dating\, hookup\, massage\, or therapeutic touch event.\n\n**Arrival**\nDoors open at 12:30 p.m.\, givin g you time to check in\, settle into the space\, and become comfortable be fore we begin promptly at 1:00 p.m.\nBecause the opening agreements and co nsent instruction establish the foundation for the entire workshop\, pleas e plan to arrive during the check-in period and be ready to begin together at 1:00.\n\nWear comfortable clothing that allows you to move and relax. Additional preparation details will be provided after registration. Feel f ree to brink a snack to share.\n\n**About your facilitator**\nRob Patton\, MDiv\, is the founder of Heart Man Healing Arts and a spiritual-care prac titioner\, ritualist\, Reiki practitioner\, trained mediator\, and consent -centered facilitator. He completed professional Cuddlist training and an internship and mentorship with Community Cuddles facilitator Kassandra Bro wn. Rob brings a grounded\, compassionate presence to his work and creates spaces where participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies\, comm unicate authentically\, and honor their own desires\, needs\, edges\, and boundaries.\n\n**Community Cuddles Testimonial**\n“Rob’s calm\, ground ed presence and genuine care create an environment where people feel safe\ , welcomed\, and accepted exactly as they are. I can’t imagine anyone be tter to create a safe\, supportive\, and welcoming space for authentic hum an connection.”\n— Debbie D.\, Community Cuddles participant\, Boulder \, Colorado\n\n**Learn more**\nFor expanded information about the workshop \, the Solitude Zone\, community agreements\, frequently asked questions\, and Rob’s facilitation approach\, visit:\n[heartmanhealingarts.com/comm unity-cuddles](https://heartmanhealingarts.com/community-cuddles) LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T011131Z URL:https://www.meetup.com/salem-area-energy-and-consciousness-community-c alendar/events/316517090/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campa ign=salem-or X-SOURCE-NAME:Salem Area Energy & Consciousness Community Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PACK Welcome Week DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260921 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260927 DTSTAMP:20260914T051407Z UID:10001665-1789948800-1790467199@calendar.wou.edu CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Before you dive into your first term of classes\, we have a ja m-packed week of exciting activities to help you become acclimated to camp us life.
