Immersive Cuddle Retreat

Facilitated by Kelly Campbell, Jax Wren, John Ellsworth, Michelle Renee, Kristine Deer, Georgie Wells, and Katie Todd

This memorable, long-weekend retreat will allow us to connect more deeply with each other—and tend to the parts of ourselves that need more love.

In this sacred container, participants will experience platonic connection and have the opportunity to practice mutual consent and boundary-setting with certified cuddle therapists. In community, we will process any emotions that arise, share nourishing meals and space with one another, and have plenty of time for rest and relaxation.

Limited to 8 participants.

Investment: $2,500 (all-inclusive)
Two half scholarships are available.

In Their Own Words…

“The cuddle retreat was truly groundbreaking. I was nervous going in since it was my first experience of this kind, but I left feeling like a new person. It was so empowering to voice my wants and needs, to feel them honored, and to practice navigating yes and no within my body. The retreat brought me closer to myself, emotionally and physically, in a way that’s hard to put into words but deeply felt.”

I have done many different types of workshops and retreats over the years that have been very powerful. But this was something new and deep for me that I am still integrating and taking in a couple weeks after. It was such a gentle container that allowed for adjustment of the needs of each individual in the group, and allowed for the holding of a range of experiences. For me I was allowed to so softly land into intimacy and connection with others, in a way that I left this experience profoundly changed and more alive.

“My relational nervous system got rewired. The variety of 1:1 immersive cuddle sessions allowed different parts of me to both express and receive in profound new ways. The long weekend was a gentle, potent, and fun container so full of love. I feel different. This retreat has fundamentally shifted my relationship with myself and with life. What a gift!”
