Platonic Cuddle Experience — Welcome Mush Amsterdam

À propos de cet événement

Hooray! You've found your way to the Mush. That alone is something to celebrate—it means you're curious about connection, and ready to explore a new kind of magic we create together.

Join us for the Welcome Mush, designed to introduce you to the Mush Movement—a community dedicated to exploring platonic touch, authentic connection, and co-regulation in a safe, consent-based environment.

🌱 What is the Mush Movement? 🌱
The Mush is a values-based, touch-positive community. The entrance into the community is a "Welcome Mush"—a one-of-a-kind structured cuddle experience combining touch-positive practices, non-verbal consent training, group nervous system co-regulation, and many-handed healing touch. Most of us don’t get enough safe, nurturing touch. Our cuddle experience isn’t just cozy—it’s a gentle reset for the nervous system, a soft landing for the heart, and a reminder of the wonderful feeling of being part of a community.

🤗 What is a Welcome Mush? 🤗
The Welcome Mush serves as an entry point into our community. This workshop includes:
✔️ A review of our community values and agreements
✔️ Non-verbal games and consent exercises
✔️ Teaching the power of nervous system co-regulation

First-time guests are required to arrive on time and participate in the full facilitation to ensure a shared understanding of our practices.

During about 90 minutes, we share our technique to create a structured cuddle puddle that is ultra-inclusive and ever-expandable. After which we'll cuddle big time.

After the event, there's space to lunch together until 14:00. You can bring your own lunch, or bring something to share potluck style. This is an optional. Some family mushers might join us for lunch.

🧭 Our Values and Agreements 🧭
Our community is built on four foundational values that support everything we do. These values help create the kind of space many of us long for but rarely find—safe, playful, and real.
1️⃣ Safety: We're co-creating an environment where everyone feels secure
2️⃣ Love: We share unconditional, platonic love
3️⃣ Authenticity: We're inviting your truthful and unique self-expression
4️⃣ Autonomy: Everything is optional

To uphold these values, we ask all participants to agree to our community guidelines, which include:
🔹 Co-regulate the nervous system together (we'll teach you how)
🔹 Take care of yourself and others
🔹 Love each other and keep it non-sexual
🔹 Take care of the space
🔹 Celebrate playfulness
🔹 Be curious and have no expectations
🔹 Peacefully resolve triggers
🔹 Keep the container

These agreements are designed to support a touch-positive space where everyone can explore new ways of relating with each other. Get prepared and read more about our values and agreements on our website (link below).

🤍 What is the Mush Family? 🤍
The Welcome Mush is more than just a workshop. It is your introduction to what we call the Mush Family, a community that shares an understanding of how to interact and what to expect from each other in a platonic intimate space. As a Mush Family member, we encourage you to initiate Mushy gatherings whenever you feel like it, or join someone else at their homes or in a park. This community is about making safe and loving spaces accessible for everyone, learning to love unconditionally, play together, and support each other.

💸 Regarding Money 💸
The Mush Movement is not-for-profit. All income goes toward covering costs, providing healthy snacks, and making cozy improvements to enhance the experience for everyone!
We believe that the suggested energy exchange of €20–40 helps keep the movement going in a sustainable way. We know that finances look different for everyone, and we’d never want that to be a barrier. If the suggested exchange is out of reach, just reach out—we’ll figure something out together.
