Cuddle Club Monthly Snuggle
The Chattanooga Cuddle Club hosts Chattanooga’s only facilitated cuddle event opportunities! Learn practical skills to safely and joyfully engage with others and honor your YES and NO. Touch is a basic human need and many of us do not get enough; most people don’t even know they are missing touch, or have a way to ask for touch without sexualizing it. We believe deeply in the power of touch, and the importance of communication and consent in creating a safe space for connection. Join us for our monthly snuggle!
