Personally, I am facinated with The Free Hug Project (and others like it) where people out in public wear the T-shirt that says "free hugs" and get others involved with conversation and exchange physical touch, hugs, handshakes and pats on the back with people that would otherwise be strangers. It's really cool to see all the smiling faces and positive response.
So I was thinking... we are pioneers in Platonic Touch here, is anyone willing to do something like that in their town or city? Maybe in a place where large gatherings like a concert, political protest, upcoming holiday events like Memorial Day or July 4th?
I am doing it here in Maryland. And one of my amazing awesome wonderful friends on this site (I will let call themself out if they wish) has just ordered a free hugs T-shirt because we had this conversation how cool the concept is.
Imagine how we can make an impact out there in the world. One hug at a time.
Has anyone else ever done the Free Hugs tshirt and done hundreds of hugs in s public place? I'd love to hear about your experience…
