Is anyone interested in co-hosting a cuddle party in Chicago? Please let me know your interest and we can discuss.
Ooooooooh @cuddlefaery I can't wait to get back out to Petaluma and wine country. How much fun would it be to see Sacramento if you do something like a Meet and Greet!!! YES!!! @sideon is just a hop and a skip, so I'm sure I could at least have a driving buddy. (hint hint wink wink)
When we were all gathered this weekend, there were 8.... count them EIGHT folks who said they would like to get a Meet & Greet happening in Harrisburg PA. That is so close to HERSHEY the land of the chocolate....
SIGN ME UP!!!! I’ve got my eyes on y’all. I won’t put you here in this forum but I WILL patiently await the announcement!!! 😂🥰♥️
@sillysassy - chances of Sid planning a meet and greet?
Chances of Sid going to one that's near the East Bay?
Though I'd be happy to HELP others if they took the lead.
🌹 🌹 🌹 Hello all! Look for announcements coming soon on the forums for Columbus Ohio Meet -N-Greet in August 🌹🌹🌹
(Ooooo I luv this teaser thing ! 😂)
Details in a few days 🤗
We need to have one in Salem, MA and hold trials on the CC witches and warlocks. Let’s swim a witch and cuddle the innocent.
Bumpity, bump bump bump....this should be on page 1....Things have been rather hectic on the homestead here but this is still on my radar!
Someone (not me) should do an LA/OC meet & greet 😇 Well, I would gladly help.
Haha sorry @Sideon I just read your comment and realize I pretty much said the same thing.
@BoomerSpooner, I LOVE Salem, MA!! I'd take off work and drive to that, and I'm in St Louis, MO!!!!!
Thinking of doing a meet and greet in Nashville TN and/or Chattanooga!
I'm still holding out hope that someday there will be one in Chicago.
@CSnMUS87 you can make it happen! I believe others expressed interest for Chicagoland too. And as I’ve seen in the forums, many people will volunteer to help, so it won’t be all on you! Chicago is a great city, though- you should set one up.
@Jasmineluvshugs Unfortunately I don't have my own space to be able to host such an event. I'd definitely be interested in helping and/or attending one though. Might help with my shyness in person.
@Motorbaby , @BoomerSpooner I love MA- Boston/Salem- count me in!
@CSnMUS87 you don’t need your own space! It’s a meet and greet social event that is held in public and a great way to get to meet the people on the site in a low key no pressure environment. The other meet and greets were mainly hosted at local parks, and that can be done by anyone!
The main thing is: choose a date, choose a park- and post plans. It can be as easy as you make it- and you can ask for help!
Salem MA is my old stomping ground. In addition to Halloween, I used to be a regular at Bleachers club in my 20's. I wonder if it is still there....haha.
For those in the Houston area, would it be OK to just have a gathering at my VFW post? We could casually gather in the canteen or I could reserve the bingo hall (during non- bingo times, of course). This would be super convenient for me, but also out of the way for some. But also climate controlled! Let me know what you think!
@KaaGee that sounds cool!
Nashville peeps or anyone visiting- Let me know if you’ll be in Nashville for the CMA Fest or the Shania Twain concert!
@CSnMUS87 @Jasmineluvshugs I'd be happy to help out!
I think an in-person event would be a great opportunity to connect with people, but also a way to do some vetting and verifying that people are who they say they are on their profiles.
I'd be curious as to how many people would show up though, a lot of times shyness and anxieties can get in the way, especially with in-person meetups from online communities.
There are so many great locations for Meet & Greets. Chicago areas would definitely be an excellent choice 🤗
There was talk about one in Dallas but nothing came of it. But Houston…. Now that would be a blast 💥
Ahh the elusive Los Angeles meet-up. ^_^
@OhioMike 💕CHICAGO! 💕
@chocobunny hahahahha the ever elusive LA meet. You are right.... Though I wouldn't be suprised to see one out there FOR REALS sometime in our future. Especially now that we have a MOD not far from the area.
of course... if I knew I was going to be able to connect with an amazing human like yourself I would be FAR more apt to find a way to get the ball rolling! Welcome back. (for a minute!)
So many fun things have been happening!! Meet and Greets and Cuddle Parties.... ALL the good stuff happening here.
There is a fabulous cuddle part event from one of my most favorite humans on the planet. Its the community where I had my first cuddle party. Sort of how I found the whole world of cuddling so it brings back a LOT of good memories every time I go to one.
This happens to be in CO the same weekend of the Meet and Greet. Its Friday June 16. Lots of beautiful things happen at a cuddle party that is facilitated by amazing people. This is the kind of thing that has a welcome circle. Boundaries. Discussions about consent. And plenty of encouragement to TRULY learn how to listen to your heart and mind with "non touch exercises." I can't say enough good about this specific group. A-MA-ZING

Alright NorCal folks (and anyone else who might want to visit!):
I'm planning a smaller, casual picnic for July 22nd here in Davis. I'll start a separate thread for the event, but wanted to post an update here.
Let's do this! 🥳
@Sideon @sillysassy @frankparker9 (I'll try to back read and tag folks, but sorry if I miss you!)
(I'll most likely plan a larger event for later in the year when it's not quite so hot out so we can enjoy more time outside!)
Who would be open to a meet and greet in Chicago at the lakefront (foster beach)? Something casual with refreshments and snacks to break the ice. If enough people are interested, I would love to set this up!
@SoftHugsnWell Chicago sounds like fun. Some people have expressed interest if you want to get the ball rolling
@OhioMike @AllAboutSoul
@Jasmineluvshugs I’d love a Nashville meet up. I’m about an hour away, some think that’s to far to meet up, but it’s not really that far, and there’s always meeting in the middle. So, a Nashville meet and greet would be awesome for me.
@Cuddlebear40 Sounds like I’ll get the ball rolling. I will post something this week for a meetup in Chicago. Would the end of July be too far out or what suggestions do you have? Thank you for the input as it helps.
Definitely interested in Chicago group meetups. If it fits within my schedule, I'll probably go.
Thank you @SoftHugsnWell , Hope we get more input from people. July sounds like a good month to add another meet and greet
If someone plans anything between Chattanooga, Nashville, or Huntsville- please include me!
