The Mush is a values-oriented, agreements-based, touch-positive community. The entrance into the community is a "Welcome Mush," the world's first structured cuddle puddle and touch-positive consent training. The event has many aspects: philosophy, non-verbal consent training, group nervous system co-regulation, many-handed healing touch opportunity, slow-motion contact dance, and more.

How do you say that, MUSH? It rhymes with "Bush'' and has nothing to do with mushrooms. In fact, we ask that everyone comes in a state of sobriety and sensitivity that supports full awareness of their own and others' boundaries. This is a place to open your heart and experience love and acceptance 💖 We will revel in the beauty of touch, healthy boundaries, subtle non-verbal communication, and exploring the connection of human bodies in an explicitly non-sexual container.

Disclaimer:

There are some Mush events around the world that are not officially associated with nor endorsed by the Mush Movement. 

This is a globally distributed grassroots movement, and each facilitator will bring their own unique style and interpretation to the Mush Values and how they introduce and keep the Mush Container. The facilitators listed above have completed an official Mush Movement Facilitator Training and remain in communication and collaboration with each other and with the Mush Global Council. Any other "Mush" branded events you may discover are not officially endorsed by the Mush Movement, even if they use the same structure and agreements. Wherever you mush, please remember your autonomy, prioritize your own safety, and never stay in environments that don't feel good to you.
