PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING TO ATTEND THIS EVENT: in order to attend, you have attended an official cuddle party or get an exception from one of the facilitators. And if you have not been to a cuddle party before, we will have one the night before on November 26th.
You must be 21 at the time of the event to attend.
We sometimes have a limited number of scholarship tickets for women identified people.
If you like to help out with setup and cleanup, and can’t afford a ticket, feel free to reach out to [email protected] for availability.
This is an experiential play party for the sensually adventurous. This special evening welcomes ALL and is very gender friendly. This is an invitation to dive deeply into yourself and each other in ways you may have been afraid to do in the past. This is the play party you want to come to even if you’ve never been to a play party before.
We will be having Strap-on and Energy Touch Demos.
There is also an optional 30-minute Intro To Energy Sex before the event.
Peter, Cathy, and Monique are thrilled to be leading this play party that is all about a feast of your senses. There will be good food and sensation stations to explore.
We create an expansive, feeling-full environment charged with electricity, yet warmly grounded and earthy. A safe and sacred container for exploring kisses and hugs in a relaxed, sex-positive space. This play party encourages your curiosity about taking your own sensual play space to the next level. This evening is a celebration of imagination, curiosity, and Peter Petersen, so you may experience as many flavors as you dare. Come dressed in something that makes you feel sacred and sexy.
First let Peter guide you through movement practice called qigong, getting you out of your minds and into your hearts.
Next, let us led you through a series of conscious connective touch as we begin to take a room full of strangers on an intimate exploration of themselves through one another.
Then let us lead you through a welcome circle where a room of strangers slowly opens up and winds up on the same page, having the opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood in ways maybe you have never even imagined!
What is Play with a capital “P”?
Play with a capital “P” is whatever it means to you. You are invited to co-create whatever feeds your soul. Participation (also with a capital “P”) can mean many things and voyeurs are as warmly welcomed as the most actively engaged. It’s a sensual space where participants are encouraged to explore themselves and others in ways that are stimulating, nurturing, exciting, afe and FUN!
This is the Play party you want to come to if you’ve never been AND this is the Play party you want to come to if you want to experience how to take generating safe play space for you and your loved ones to the next level.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
You are sensually, erotically and emotionally savvy enough to Play nicely with others. You’re a good sharer, you take good care of your toys and you use your words. 🙂 You are somebody who knows your own wants and boundaries and can communicate them clearly…… and/or you’re someone willing to work and explore these areas for your own growth and enjoyment! You treat yourself and others with respect and kindness.
If you’re reading this, thinking, “I would love to come, but I don’t want to play,” PLEASE COME and enjoy the pressure-free company of like-minded individuals and exit whenever you wish. Really. There will be no pressure for you to do ANY activity at this party at any time.
My biggest request is that you come with a fun-loving, warm, caring, open-minded, generous, thoughtful, compassionate, non-judgmental attitude and that you conduct yourself with the highest level of integrity possible.
This will be a very chill, fun, playful event where sex and nudity will most likely occur. Come, relax. Come, sip a glass of something or a cup of tea. Come smooch. Come play. Come watch. (You know us: voyeurism is participation!)
There is a small cat in the home we’re holding this in. The cat will be hiding from all the people, but if you’re allergic, please bring appropriate medication.
All genders, bodies, and orientations welcome. Come as you are and have a great time!
No strong scents, please. Some people are very sensitive to perfumes and scents. Please do not wear colognes or perfumes, and do what you can to limit these from laundry soap, hair care products and the like. Thank you!
TIME: 7:30pm
If you have an optional Intro Ticket, please arrive at 6:45-7pm.
For Play Party doors open at 7:15 PM and CLOSE AT 7:45PM. Event is over at 11:30 PM. BE ON TIME as it is essential to have everyone present for the opening circle.

The Welcome Circle is what we use to introduce ourselves to one another, have a safer sex conversation, share any boundaries and relationship agreements people should know about and get all comfy and ready to Play.

Your sexy self and whatever food and drink you might want for the evening. (No drugs, please. We like our Playmates to be present and capable of connection.) Bring whatever sexy things you’d like to don and lounge in while we frolic or just throw on your regular weekend clothes for relaxation. Bring along whatever safer sex accessories you desire – condoms, dental dams, gloves, toys, lube – whatever you might be needing to create that perfect evening. Oh, and of course, please bring a Playful attitude and an open heart and mind.
