Love in the Time of Covid
60-90 minute workshop Studies show that loneliness is as unhealthy as cigarette smoking, while college students are lonelier than any other US demographic. Already worrying; this was the case before the pandemic landed. Social distancing brings new dimensions to long-distance relationships, making friends during orientation, and interpersonal boundaries. What does this mean for students’ social lives? And what about sex? In this live, interactive workshop we’ll strategize how to: - Thrive socially while staying safe with interpersonal communication. - Build intimacy with distant friends & partners via connection-building exercises. - Find humor within the madness of our times; it’s a matter of self-care. Virtual Cuddle Sanctuary 2 hour session Craving connection during this time of social distancing and isolation? You’re not alone. At this event, you'll be amazed at how much closeness can be created even when connecting virtually. We’ll have an opening circle, take a moment to relax, and then try connection games, in pairs and groups. You’ll get to experience Authentic Relating exercises that will invite your curiosity, authenticity, and presence with one another. As with all Cuddle Sanctuary events, participation is optional, and you will always be invited to share and participate at the level you’re most comfortable in. |
