We founded Happy Humanimals in 2022 to create heaven on earth, one connection at a time.

We offer several foundational events, including Cuddle Party™ and Snugs & Connection. In these playshops you will learn to navigate boundaries, desires, and deep self-care as you meet and connect with other participants. Our events are for everyone: whether you’ve got a ton of experience or have never done something like this before, we would love to meet and host you. See more on our Eventbrite.

Who are we?
