Mens Mental Health Safety Hugs Stockholm 27th of July

edited June 2024 in General

Hey all. My name is Trollsmeden and I want to spread safety, security, calm and that people are worth just as they are via my TrollHugs.

One thing that is important to me is consent and that whoever gets the hug is the one who wants it, don't force or nag someone else to come forward, you hug whoever you want. If you don't want a hug but some kind of contact, come and give me a high five or a fist bump ^^

This time I want to send out an invitation to all men, whether you were born into it or became one later in life, who feel they would like a big hug and someone to hold them for a while, maybe pat them head at the same time.
Everyone is of course welcome if they want/need a hug.

The 27th of July, on Sergels torg in Stockholm Sweden.
I will be standing in my Viking clothes so it will be easier to find me.

It would make me very happy if you could spread this to as many people as possible, I never know how my social battery is in the future so the event came out a little close.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

  • This is such a beautiful idea! @Trollsmeden you have been here a minute!! From way Back in the olden days of CC.

    Thank you for trying to be a light out there in the world about safety and consent.

    One question… how do people know where to find you… standing in your Viking clothes where?

    Virtual hugs back to you!!! I would TOTALLY be your big spoon even tho I am SHORT!! 😂

  • Thank you for your kind words ^^ :3

    OOH haha sorry, it was a paste from the fb event I made so there the date and place is elsewhere, Edited it now ^^ Thanks

  • I’m going to add it to a different thread as well. 😊

    You never know who will see it and pass the word!!!

  • Thank you so much! it is ok to add a link to the fb event or instagram post?

  • The moderators said its fine to post in the forums as long as its a free event. And not spamming individual people about it. 😊

    I hope this really happens!! LOVE the pic!!! And it seems like the Viking motif could possibly call back to a time when, as warriors, men knew the value of fellowship and closeness-- because their lives often depended on them!

    I hope many men come and receive your Viking Hugs!!

  • Many hugs were given, tho not notable more men then other events.
    Tho I did get a small rabbit/hare teddy from a kid that wanted a hug <3

    Oh, how sweet!!! Beautiful and giving, little ones often fully understand the deep, deep value in hugs! Before the damage, before the "BE A MAN" programming that leads young men to having lonely, sad lives, they KNEW that it felt WONDERFUL to be squeezed, hugged, and assured of their rightful place, here.. I'm glad at least some of them showed up to receive the HUMAN TOUCH we allll need so much!

    And a Viking, to boot! Wooooo! lol

  • @Trollsmeden this is really awesome man. Thank you for doing this. I would have definitely given you a hug if I were there! Could definitely use one 😅
