Reflections on the Spiritual Life

Community or cuddle parties?

Posted by ruach on May 11, 2008

After my last post about Psalm 133 and community, I had to post something about Cuddle Parties. Cuddle parties seem to be to be a rather poor alternative to living in community.  Is this not another sign that the church is not getting the job done!  Michelle Malkin brought it to my attention yesterday.  Here is what the Cuddle Party Website says:

What a Cuddle Party is: A structured, safe workshop on boundaries, communication, intimacy and affection. A drug and alcohol-free way to meet fascinating people in a relaxing environment. A laboratory where you can experiment with what makes you feel safe and feel good.

This playful, fun workshop has been a place for people to rediscover non-sexual touch and affection, a space to reframe assumptions about men and women, and a great networking event to meet new friends, roommates, business partners and significant others.

Can Cuddle Party restore your faith in humanity? It just might. But at the very least, you’ll have a great time, and leave feeling relaxed and inspired.
