What is it all about?
The Cuddle & Touch Experiment brings a small group of 10–20 people together over six gatherings across seven months. We explore touch, consent, boundaries, and connection slowly, carefully, and in good company.
It’s more than a series of workshops. It’s a shared exploration of what becomes possible when people meet again and again, feel safer over time, and allow real connection to grow. What unfolds can’t be planned, and that’s part of the experiment.
Why Join?
Grow and heal parts of yourself.
Forge deep, meaningful friendships.
Explore the transformative power of touch.
Foster love, understanding, and connection.
Be part of an ongoing experiment in intimacy.

That’s of course a pity — but also completely understandable. Sometimes life pulls us in other directions. We recommend not missing more than 2 sessions, so you can stay connected to the journey and the group experience.
The intimacy level for this journey is White. This means:
Gentle, platonic touch is welcome
Clothes remain on at all times
No touch in the bikini area
A safe group atmosphere is supported through clear group agreements, trust- and consent-based exercises, and structured ways of getting to know each other. The facilitation is guided by awareness, responsibility, and care. Piero Flor acknowledges personal privileges, past and present trauma, and possible blind spots, and actively welcomes feedback, self-reflection, and repair as part of holding a connective and respectful space where participants can feel at home.
You are welcome whether you come alone, with a partner, or with a friend. This journey is open to people who are single, in monogamous relationships, open relationships, or polyamorous connections. A diversity of relationship styles, genders, and orientations is intentionally welcomed, as it enriches the group and supports deeper learning and connection for everyone.
Yes. The Cuddle & Touch Experiment is LGBTQI+ and BIPOC friendly and welcomes people of all identities, bodies, and backgrounds.
