Cuddle Party Facilitator Training in Berlin
„When we cuddle, we help heal each other.“ — Anonymous
Conscious Cuddle Experiences create a unique space where people can experience connection, belonging, and shared joy. They offer an opportunity to nourish ourselves through human connection while also opening the door to meaningful personal growth. Participants may explore old patterns, work through emotional challenges, strengthen healthy boundaries, and discover new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Creating and holding such a space requires far more than good intentions. It calls for knowledge, presence, self-awareness, and well-developed facilitation skills.
Become part of the Cuddle Revolution. Create spaces where people can grow, connect, and share one of the most fundamental human needs: mindful touch.
Our training consists of two modules:
Module I: Facilitating – The Art of Conscious Group Facilitation (self-paced online)
Module II: Cuddle Party Facilitator Training (in person) in Berlin
To accompany people holistically, you need holistic skills, tools, and knowledge. The foundation of this training is our „Facilitating – The Art of Conscious Group Leadership“ program. Building on that foundation, we focus on four key areas:
- Knowledge: Cuddle theory specifically for Cuddle Parties and cuddle energy | Marketing | A relaxed and confident approach to working with the media
- Designing a Cuddle Party: Creating the space | Preparation and follow-up | Understanding and facilitating the Cuddle Party agreements and exercises | Opening and closing circles
- My Role as a Facilitator: Authenticity and presence | Mindfulness and awareness practices | Holding space for both the group and each individual
- The Cuddle Space as a Process Space: Learning opportunities and benefits of Cuddle Parties | Working with emotions, group processes, and crises | Staying grounded and creating safety in challenging situations
After completing the training, you have the opportunity to become part of the KuschelRaum Network.
Cuddle Parties are spaces for growth. They combine joy—the shared experience of mindful touch—with transformation through process work, often accompanied by intense emotions. Creating and holding this kind of space safely requires comprehensive knowledge and a wide range of skills, all of which are part of our training.
The role of a Cuddle Party Facilitator is diverse. Facilitators should:
- guide groups with structure and clarity while feeling confident in the leadership role.
- accept participants unconditionally and meet them where they are. This requires empathy, compassion, and patience.
- have a high level of awareness and strong observational skills: What is happening in the room? How are the participants doing?
- communicate effectively, clearly, and respectfully, while also having strong body awareness and confident, congruent body language.
- have already worked through many of their own themes around closeness, intimacy, and attachment, and be emotionally open.
- genuinely enjoy human touch.

„I’ve completed several facilitation trainings before, but nothing came close to yours. The depth of experience and knowledge you share, the attention to detail, the training manual… Thank you so much.“ – Lydia
„The days I spent training at KuschelRaum touched me deeply—on a level where words hardly seem enough to express the experience in a way that others can truly feel it in their hearts. At KuschelRaum, I felt at home. And now, I feel a little more at home within myself, too.“ – Michael
„I experienced you as a well-coordinated, authentic, warm, and humorous team of trainers. Throughout the entire training, I could feel the dedication and love you bring to your work. You created and held a truly wonderful space for self-discovery and personal growth for our group, and I felt deeply supported and safe with you.“ – Regine
„Sometimes you simply know that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be—and that you are exactly right, just as you are. The days I spent in Berlin were a true blessing. Something within me opened up again: sensitivity, softness, vulnerability, a great deal of strength and energy, and the deep certainty that I am enough just as I am. The way I trust was affirmed in a space filled with safety, professionalism, and warmth. I struggled, I cried, I laughed, I held beautiful people, and I was held by them. I experienced things I hadn’t even realized I had been missing. And in such a short time, I learned so much. When I arrived back home, I looked out of the window into our little garden and knew: deep within me, a new little green garden had grown as well—one that will make me a little freer from the circumstances of the outside world from now on.“ – Micha
„Touch is far more than we often realize. Through the touch of another human being, we can learn to reconnect with ourselves. We begin to notice what truly feels good and what doesn’t—and not only to notice it, but also to express it. We learn to sense and communicate our own boundaries and, in doing so, become more mindful of the boundaries of others as well. Angeline and Rubem are wonderful trainers. I felt completely at ease with them. They are authentic and create a space where everyone can relax, let go, and feel genuinely accepted. Thank you both for this wonderful experience!“ – Elena

The KuschelRaum Approach
„After today’s Cuddle Party, the four of us were sitting together on the train ride home, and without a single dissenting voice, we all agreed that of all the Cuddle Parties in Berlin, yours are by far the most beautiful. The warm, family-like atmosphere and the overall sense of harmony make them truly special.“ – Student,25, Participant Cuddle Party
„Thank you. You have no idea how much my life has already changed.“ – Architekt, 37, Participant Cuddle Party
„As with so many things in life, the same is true here: when we become curious about our resistance instead of running away from it, it can help us grow. That’s one of the things I love most about your events—you can explore your own resistance with curiosity, gently and at your own pace. When it comes to something as personal and powerful as cuddling, that is incredibly important. With you, there is never any need to rush. In fact, you’re encouraged to be gentle and careful—with yourself and with others.“ – Erzieherin, 34, Participant Cuddle Party
„Dear Angeline, I just wanted to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for the magical Cacao & Cuddles evening. I’m still floating on a cloud.“ – Tänzerin, 32, Participant Cuddle Party
„I can hardly put it into words because so many of the changes within me happened less in my mind and far more in my heart. What years of therapy, self-exploration, and sheer determination could not bring to the surface began to emerge—first gently, then in an abundance I never could have imagined—in Angeline’s workshops, where it was met with unconditional acceptance.“ – Coachin, 50, Participant Cuddle Party
