Welcome back, everyone! We are excited to kick off an interactive training session that will blend a traditional classroom setting with a hands-on simulation of a Level 1 Cuddle. During the event, we will take turns embodying the roles of angels and participants.

Here’s how it will unfold:

  • The first half of the event will cover skills and knowledge you will need as an Angel (official or unofficial).
  • The second have of the event will be a cuddle that will allow you to practice the skills you just learned.

As we progress, you will learn how to uphold community safety guidelines, whether you are an event angel or a mentor. In our Intentional Encounters Community, we collectively ensure a safe and respectful environment by emphasizing consent, intentions, boundaries, healthy relationships, and effective communication.

Our aim is to create a space where individuals can experience personal growth and pleasure safely and responsibly. We encourage everyone to be self-sufficient in managing their well-being.

SCHEDULE

  • 6:30 – 6:45 pm: Gathering
  • 6:45 – 7:45 pm: Classroom session
  • 7:45 – 8:00 pm: Break
  • 8:00 – 8:45 pm: Hands-on practicum
  • 8:45 – 9:00 pm: Wrap-up (optional)

This training is essential for achieving Level 3 certification and builds upon the foundational classes: Sculpting Your Encounters and Communication & Relationships. Completion of either Session A and Session B, or Sculpting Your Encounters and Communication & Relationships is a prerequisite for participation in this training.

We are collecting a $10 fee for this class.
