if we all shared the results of similar huggivings, inspiration can flow even more!

Benefits to sharing with others:
- actions of spreading love in cities -> greater courage in doing the same
- appropriate and exciting touch keeps us healthy!
- touching complete strangers, without demanding something in return...we just do this! Which in turn may inspire them too (in some way)

So far, Denver, Seattle, Portland and Sydney (Aust) is freehugging!

Post:
- Photos of your freehug results
- Anecdotes of the responces
- Info on communications with officials, govt workers, and others
- Learnings or lessons from your freehugging activities that others could take on board
- Links to other videos on the web
- General breuhaha and shenanigans that inspire pronoia, love, bliss and general happiness!

This isnt a political tribe persay, but if you post something political, please make it appropriate to spreading positivity, hugs or such...

HOW TO DO A FREE HUG THING IN YOUR CITY:
1) Make a sign that says "Free Hugs", "Hugs for Free", "Non sexual non gender based hugs for free" whatever
2) Choose a location that you would feel safe at, and a time of day when people will be there (lunchtimes on weekdays, 5pm after businesses close...)
3) Go there and wait to see who hugs you
4) See if you can take photos, and send them to others (and here!)

Here's some guidelines:
- Freehugging is giving. You recieve by others wanting to hug.
- Groping of using the opportunity to get sexual kicks is inappropriate, period
- Its free! No money needed in transaction, nor favours given in return
- Do it as long as you want, with as many people as you want. So long as everyone gets the same idea, this meme will continue to spread
- If you do it with others, then have a party afterwards to celebrate! Why not....
