Squish

WuːuM is more than a place —it’s a movement of creative healing, cultural ritual, and intentional space-making; a sanctuary and gathering space for women, queers, trans, gender-expansive beings and allies. Rooted in care and creative expression, WuːuM offers an environment that blends the intimacy of a living room with the richness of a cultural venue.WuːuM is designed to be a “third place” where people come not just to consume culture, but to co-create it. It’s a space of conversation pits and cozy nooks, for ritual and rest, for workshops, performances, and community dinners.At its core, WuːuM is about cultivating safety, connection, and belonging in response to a world that often feels dissociated —a living system grounded in care, creativity, and collective belonging.

A platonic cuddle party for people to come get high on natural endorphins from informed, consensual touch.

671 N Berendo St

Welcome to Squish! — a platonic cuddle party for people to come get high on natural endorphins from informed, consensual touch. Cuddling is scientifically proven to promote emotional bonding and reduce stress by increasing oxytocin, the hormone associated with safety, trust, and connection. It can also lower cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure, supporting both emotional regulation and relaxation. We will begin with a 45-minute authentic relating segment centered on consent, boundaries, and ownership of desires, creating a foundation of safety and mutual respect. Participants will be guided to practice clear communication, self-awareness, and attunement to others. This will naturally flow into a less structured “snuggle jam,” where touch remains consensual, optional, and continuously negotiated. The experience will be paired with a sound bath offered by Tina Toner to support a more audibly embodied connection.THIS IS A SOBER EVENT! Given the vulnerable nature of Squish, the use of intoxicants of any kind are strictly disallowed. Oxytocin is soooo much better when it’s naturally induced anyway.
