Intimacy Jam - September

The theme for this event is exploring curiosity. Let's get curious and learn about ourselves and each other! Let's allow ourselves to stretch beyond our normal comfort zones, test out something new and maybe a bit weird, and see whether we like it or not! Feel supported every step along the journey. And welcome others as their authentic, unfiltered selves. 

How do Intimacy Jams work?

Intimacy Jams are opportunities to enjoy connection and community without complexity. The entire experience is clothed and non-sexual. People of all genders are welcome to jam with each other. Safety and comfort are the priority. Caring for consent is required at all times, using skills practised in the first hour. No touch is required during an Intimacy Jam at all.

The event starts with a welcome circle to open the container and set expectations for the evening. Next, a series of connection and communication games help us arrive in the space and in our bodies, and quickly get to know each other better! We learn and practice consent and communication skills in a safe, structured environment. We practise communicating about desires and boundaries. We also get to enjoy the sensations and experiences of physical touch! Soon, a group of relative strangers learns to trust and enjoy each other in this held space.

Next, we break bread together and share a potluck meal and enjoy casual socialising around food.

Finally, there's the free flow jam part of the Intimacy Jam. Many different forms of platonic intimacy are welcome during the jam in pairs, groups and on your own. A central “cuddle puddle” often persists throughout the whole evening for a collective, communal experience. Also, massage, cuddling, hand holding, dance, sensory experiences, eye gazing, gentle authentic conversation, poetry reading, and more! Your curiosity, creativity and desires are welcome!

Note, these events used to be called Cuddle Parties.

Reviews:

“I absolutely loved this event. Renaming it from Cuddle Party to Intimacy Jam truly shifted the focus, allowing for a broader exploration of intimacy beyond just cuddling. Exploration through dance, play, heartsharing and eye gazing brought a whole new dimension to the experience. A very rich experience, highly recommended.” - Alec
