Why Cuddles?
As isolation and division grows, we practice softness as resistance. We choose presence, touch, cuddling, and slow dancing. Cuddling is not trivial. It’s a radical practice of care. Gentle touch calms the body, eases the nervous system, and reminds us we’re not alone. Cuddling creates safety; slow dancing creates connection. Both make love visible.
Cuddles are also a great way to stay warm!
Participation is first-come, first cuddled
