Our Orientation is on hold for now. You can relax with Cuddle Queen Jean on YouTube, try a one-on-one cuddle session, or learn to lead your own cuddle events!
Welcome to Orientation!
New to Cuddle Sanctuary? This is the event to get you started.
Interested in attending our cuddle events?
This event is a pre-requisite for attending our “Cuddle Sanctuary Social.”
Curious about cuddle etiquette?
We will teach you everything you need to know!
Join us for a fun, free, informative 30-minute orientation.
We will share with you the basics such as:
- “No Thank You” Exercise
- Ask and Wait Method
- Four Cuddle Safe Concepts
You’ll also have a chance to ask questions and meet some warm and welcoming people.
Orientation is free. Afterwards, you can choose to stay for our two hour main event starting at 7:30 PM. Pricing details are below. Learn about our Safe Cuddling Program here and our health protocols in response to the coronavirus here.
Myth Busters
Many people feel uncertain about attending any event with the word “cuddle.” We understand! Event leaders Jean Franzblau and Fei Wyatt created this myth buster video just for you (while Jean was driving safely).

WHAT TO WEAR?
Dress comfortably – think soft and cozy. Pajamas, t-shirts, sweatpants, leggings, tank tops, and shorts all work well. You are welcome to change clothes when you arrive.
Hygiene is important at cuddles – it’s easier to get close that way! (Note: come free of perfumes, colognes, and cigarette smoke. Some of us have sensitive noses – thanks!)
WHAT TO BRING?
Optional: Bring a healthy snack or drink to share. No alcohol please.
Optional: Bring a pillow or blanket or something snuggly.
INTOXICANTS
Please arrive and remain sober throughout the event. You may find yourself getting a natural high on oxytocin – often called the “hug hormone.”
GETTING UP AND DOWN
Our event space is covered with cushions on the floor and most of our exercises are on those cushions. If you are concerned about your ability to get up and down from the floor to a standing position, please contact us to discuss accommodation: Support@CuddleSanctuary.com
CURIOUS ABOUT CUDDLE POSITIONS?
If you choose to stay for the later event, you’ll notice that we’ve discovered lots of cuddle positions. We’re happy to show you at your own pace. If you’re curious to know some of our favorites, you can take our online class Professional Cuddler Demos.
LOCATION & PARKING:
