In Person - Sunday Nov 23, 2025 - Asheville - 6 - 9:30 pm
Join us for an evening of sweet connection, music, and cuddling, guided by Sarah Belzile with live music from an array of local talent, including Mariah Nolan, Jon Handelman, Max Aaron and Kennedy Oneself.
Let’s create a cozy autumn evening together, embracing the energies of late fall, a season of reflection and grounding, as the sun moves into Sagittarius season and the crescent moon will be waxing in the night sky. Jon & Sarah first conceptualized this event because both of us believe in creating the world that we most want to live in. It seems particularly important right now to foster a sense of fun, safety and trust, and draw closer together in community as world events polarize and escalate. For this night, let’s create a space where intimacy, compassion and belonging can flourish.
The evening will begin with approximately 40 minutes of curated touch, consent, and connection exercises designed to nurture trust and facilitate gentle, respectful intimacy. Then we’ll transition to open conversation, relaxed cuddling, maybe some giggles and shared musical enjoyment, creating a space for authentic expression and connection. While erotic energy may naturally arise and is welcome, the focus remains on cultivating tenderness, community, and a collective sense of safety. Clothes will stay on, honoring personal boundaries and comfort. Light snacks and herbal tea will be provided.
