8pm Sound Healing Cuddle Puddle

Join us for a cozy, soul nourishing evening designed to help you unwind, open your heart and connect authentically with yourself and others.

We'll begin with a short sound healing to calm the nervous system and ground into the space then move into connection activities. Afterwards, we’ll flow into a cuddle puddle, a shared space of consensual, platonic touch and closeness, all while being bathed in the serene live sound healing with crystal bowls and harp.

Your hosts for the evening are Stephanie Ajna and Sharma Slavich, holding a safe and welcoming space for deep rest, connection, and healing.

All genders, bodies and backgrounds welcome. Consent, boundaries and emotional safety are foundational to this event. You are always at choice with how you engage.
