It's been pretty cold here in Copenhagen. With practically no snow and high level of humidity the cold creeps inside the body and stays there for most part of the day. I found solution by consuming lots of chai latter with chilly throughout the day (all at the same place, the cozy café Kalaset on Vendersgade 16)that I warmly recommend.
I arrived at the Cuddle Party i Copenhagen shuddering and since the room was not used during the Christmas holidays it was cold inside too. During the Welcome circle I had to cover myself with blankets and when the freestyle cuddlying at last started tried to keep close to others. Others, it seemed, had the same strategy and pretty soon we ended up in a circle or a pile, where you could not easily identify the owner of the particular limb sticking out from underneath the pillows and covers. It reminded me of how on cold mornings when a commuter train was late people would gather in the tiny building of the train station and form a circle. Everyone would be looking at the screen with the time table hoping to see some new information about the arrival of the train but I suspect they just wanted to be closer to one another and get warmer, pretty much like penguins do!
Towards the end we did an exercise that both energised us and allowed us to connect with a child inside us, the one I call "Rolling for peace and freedom". Naturally, you can just roll but if we do something anyways, why not dedicate the activity to something meaningful to you?
