Deep Dive Cuddle Day: Presence, Care & Connection

About this event

A full day of gentle touch, presence, and connection

Warm Reminder: this is a full day experience. You're also welcome to book individual workshops if you prefer. However, experiencing all three sessions together creates a deeper journey at a more affordable rate. If you book early, you get sweet summer discounts... find our current deals below.

WHAT IS IT?
A full-day immersion in the power of conscious touch and deep connection. We start in the morning with a gentle movement and co-regulated touch meditation, deepen throughout the afternoon with a Cuddle Workshop, and culminate in an evening of deeper intimacy and free play. You bring real struggles, real vulnerabilities. You explore them through touch, presence, and witnessing.

WHAT HAPPENS?
We begin the morning with Gentle Movement Meditation & Co-Regulated Touch, an embodied practice to arrive in your body and sync your nervous system with another. In the afternoon, the Cuddle Workshop: Building Depth brings you into tender, playful contact and opens the heart for deeper connection. At night, the Deep Dive Cuddle Night offers a more sustained and intimate field of exploration for experienced participants.

Whether you're curious to taste, or ready to dive deep, this day is designed to meet you where you are. It invites you lovingly to expand your edges, your capacity for presence and intimacy.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Morning & Afternoon: This day welcomes people at any level of touch experience. Whether you're exploring cuddle and touch in group settings for the first time or you're experienced, the morning and afternoon sessions are designed to meet you where you are. It helps if you've attended at least one cuddle workshop or have some experience with touch-based work, but this isn't required.

Evening (Deep Dive Cuddle Night): The evening is for experienced participants only. This means you are:
* Comfortable receiving and giving touch
* Able to regulate your nervous system in response to gentle intimacy and sustained connection
* Experienced with cuddle workshops or similar touch-based events
* Clear about your boundaries and able to communicate them

If you're new during the day, we'll evaluate together after the afternoon Cuddle Workshop to see if you feel ready and resourced for the evening's deeper exploration. If you're unsure whether you meet these criteria, please contact Piero before signing up.

START WHERE YOU ARE
If this workshop still feels like too much, Feeling Your Yes is a gentler entry point. A monthly gathering focused on consent, boundaries, and nervous system awareness. We're also available for individual sessions if you'd like to build confidence before joining the group.

OUR GATHERING IS AN ACT OF COLLECTIVE POWER AND HEALING
This is personal AND collective work. We cultivate awareness of our own intuition, boundaries, and nervous system and we do it together. In a world that disconnects us from our bodies and silences our voices, this gathering is an act of collective power and healing.

WHAT WE COMMIT TO
This is a trauma-informed, consent-based space. I facilitate with awareness of how trauma lives in our bodies, and I create structures for safety, choice, and agency. I'm also continuously learning and open to feedback.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
You know yourself best. You are the expert of your own body and boundaries. Please honour what feels true for you. That might mean stepping back, taking a break, or leaving. There is no shame in that. If something doesn't feel right, please let me or a spaceholder know. You are responsible for your own wellbeing.

OUR SHARED COMMITMENT
Healing isn't linear. Sometimes what we need includes discomfort, vulnerability, and working at our edges. We work together with intention, care, and honesty, and we meet each other with accountability when things go sideways.

ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION
This workshop is LGBTQI+ and BIPOC friendly and welcomes neurodivergent people. Everyone can participate, even if you have a disability or are ill.

Newcomers are welcome if you're curious and reasonably grounded. If you'd like a gentler foundation first, Feeling Your Yes (monthly) is designed as an accessible entry point. If you're working through significant vulnerability, grief, or trauma right now, individual sessions help you build capacity before group work.

I'm committed to listening to your needs and exploring what's possible together. Early communication helps us prepare well, and I'm honest about our limits. If you're able to bring additional support for yourself, whether that's a trusted friend, professional assistant, grounding tools, or specific practices, that helps us create sustainable space for everyone.

INTIMACY LEVELS
True Intimacy workshops are predominantly white: conscious, caring touch above the clothes, we stay away from ero.tic energy. Most offerings are clothed.

ABOUT PIERO
Piero uses no pronouns and considers themselves polysensual, pancurious, genderqueer, justice seeker and mystic lover. Piero lives and works in Ghent as a trauma-informed and body-oriented intimacy coach, (cuddle) workshop facilitator and embodied changemaker.

Piero creates a safe, warm and stimulating group environment that invites transformation and healing. Piero wants to inspire people to experience intimacy more consciously and, together, to eliminate taboos, blockades, violence and traumas. Piero dreams of a world in which self-care and self-actualization go hand in hand with love, justice, equality and solidarity.

"I recognise my own privileges and traumas from the past and present and am aware of how they may hurt or disadvantage people. Like everyone else, I have blind spots and am open to feedback, self-reflection and reconciliation. With my life experience I am building a safe, transformational and connective space where you can feel home." Piero Flor
