A gentle revolution of warmth, consent, and presence
If you feel like it, and only if you want: would you like a free hug? It’s a short pause to breathe, be seen, and share kindness — no strings attached.
“A hug is a silent way of saying you are safe here.”
Free Hugs is a simple civic practice: share human warmth in public space, with consent and care. It challenges isolation, celebrates dignity, and reminds us that we belong. No fees, no data capture, no branding — just kindness.

Let the other person lead. A brief 1–3 seconds is usually perfect; longer only if mutually comfortable.
