Cuddle Club December
A Heartist Community sanctuary for platonic intimacy, touch and connection. Fully clothed, obligation-free, and designed by you.
Cuddle Club
Every third Wednesday | 6:30–9:30pm
Humans need touch, and our culture often limits where it belongs.
We’re living a different reality that suits us better—one of softness, safety, and spacious connection.
We practice clear communication, consent, and boundaries while enjoying the healing power of oxytocin-filled connection. When we feel safe to get snug without implications, assumptions, obligations, expectations..it feels clear. and often comes with a deep relaxation, a delicious calm, and just a very lovely, warm n happy heart.
Whether you’re cuddle curious or a snuggle sandwich specialist, you’re welcome to join in your own way—sit solo with a cushion, hold a hand, be the tree to someone’s koala, or melt into a multi-body snuggle.
Cuddle Club is about:
- Safe, boundaried touch
- Practicing consent and requests
- Honouring needs and limits—yours and others’
- Reframing intimacy beyond romance or family
✨ Doors open 6:30 | lock 7:00 | immersion until 9:30
Currently open to the Heartist community. New? Come say hi at another Hearth event first.
Hosted by Angelafaithheartist, our dynamic lover, feeler, writer, theatremaker, performer and general shenaniganist. She has big fat passion for making welcoming spaces where people can play. As panther as she is monkey, as buffalo, as hummingbird, Ange has been supporting emotional unravellings and transformational journeys for 20 years, likes to design flash mobs that go deeper, and regularly forgets that a maggot lived in her head once and she unwittingly smuggled it across several countries.
Heartist Community Events
Maybe you’re queer, neurodiverse, asexual, gender fluid, polyamorous, stardust
Maybe you’re an artist, lover, dreamer or 3 dragons taped together
Maybe you manage many masks to survive
Maybe you’re a caterpillar, a butterfly or in pre-winged goo form
Maybe not.
Our Venue is cosy af but has so much room for the kind and curious. The alternatives, the explorers, the misfits, the so-called ‘too much'ers, the ‘not enough’ers, the 'too sensitive's, the 'too weird's, the 'too loud's, the 'too quiet's, the too fews, the tutus..
We think humans are great but even greater together.
Our art, heart and community driven events are about feeling safe, seen and welcome to be all you are. So, those of you with delicious, ambrosial flavours that may have become scapegoats for the dysgeusia of others ..we see you and we’ve made us all a comfy space to play.

Our 'Why'
❤️People
We really enjoy meeting others and believe in the power of community.
❤️Self Love
We find that living in a city, -or just on earth during these times- in a society that seems to promote hustle and prescribe us obligation to everything but ourselves, we find it challenging to make time for connection, play, art and soft, joyful activities with kind people. So, we’re trying to rectify that.
❤️ADHD Hack
In our ADHD experience, no matter how much we love, need and recognise the importance of social/art/connection dates, staying in integrity with them hasn't been a thing we've achieved. Showing up for a plan we've made with others however, is a piece of delicious, dopamine cake. So, this is our hack. Feel free to use it.
❤️Kin
We are queer, late diagnosed neurosparklies. We did the curious, arty, rose-coloured glasses, unboundaried-dreamer game for a long while. And although we enjoyed the confusing and disappointing fruits of the 'codependent, tragic romantic' story and the 'hermitting weirdo,' story, now we wanna hang out with other sexy misfits and make stuff.
We may not know a lot, but we do know that we always feel better after (and during) connecting with kind, curious community. Maybe you will too.
Chocolates?
Maybe! There'll definitely be something you'll find enticing in our 'Snack Nicholson' or 'Snackie Collins' baskets.
We are big fans of ease, so if it offers you more spaciousness to eat your dinner here, we'd love you to bring it with you and utilise our full kitchen.
Your contributions help us continue to offer unique gatherings in a comfy, gorgeous, sensory space and provide refreshments and supplies however, It's important to us that our events be accessible to everyone and encourage you to get in touch should finances (or anything else) keep you from attending, please email angelafaithheartist@gmail.com
Join us!
We struggle with a lot of the content this whacky life provides, but one thing we know for sure is that we always feel better when we connect with kin. Maybe you will too.
