The feedback from our FTCs (First Time Cuddlers) has been very positive but as Suzuki Roshi is reputed to have said, "You are perfect and you need some improvement". :-) While the few days after the first event were spent basking in this idea of perfection, I soon started looking for the ways in which Cuddle Party could offer even more and be more fun. For example, some people wished for more exercises involving touch to ease us into cuddlying and we have been listening.

I had a very energising and inspiring conversation with my Cuddle Party trainer and with another facilitator in training where we came up with a few (non-competative) games involving touch. Also, my esteemed Cuddle Party assistant who has done a lot of embodied practices suggested a few exercises from biodance and those could easily be adopted for a Cuddle Party format.

So at the next Cuddle Party we will be offering a few of those, both with a single partner and the whole group. I cannot wait to try out those myself!
