The intricate name “cuddle party” comes from the English word “cuddle-party”, which can be translated as “hugging party”.
Here's the big spoiler: at these events, people gather to spend time together, including hugging.
But you can also just sit next to each other, dance, sleep, touch each other with your fingertips, give massages, or lie in groups of people (three or more).
The main condition for any action is the consent of the participants.
The event has a clear structure and begins with a circle of acquaintances - at this moment all those present introduce themselves to each other.
After this comes meditation, the purpose of which is to return to the sensations of the body and to discover it in general.
Meditation is replaced by exercises-experiments. They are given in order to understand something about yourself, about your partner, and also about how a specific contact is built.
Next comes the free part. It is at this stage that you can do whatever you want - of course, within the framework of the rules-agreements.
The cuddle party ends with a final circle, where those gathered share their impressions.
There are many reasons why people attend hug parties. The most important one is probably the feeling of loneliness. Another reason for attending such a meeting may be a lack of trust in the world, when a person wants to make sure that there are warm, open people.
Sometimes there are people among the visitors who would like to share their tenderness with others, and sometimes those who come to the cuddle party would like to understand why they are so intactile, etc.
