About this Event
Sometimes all we need is a hug...
There is something so powerful and helpful about a hug and human touch. Studies have shown that hugging and physical touch can have some significant benefits:
- reduce stress
- boost happiness
- reduce fears
- improve communication
- reduce pain
- boost immunity
For many of us, there are extended periods where hugging and touch is not a part of our daily lives. For those of us who are missing this crucial part of the human experience and have identified this as a need, welcome.
This HUG event will include:
- a short introduction and overview of the benefits of hugging and platonic touch like holding hands
- the guidelines and boundary education for connection through platonic touch (to make it a safe space for all)
- opening reflections and check-ins
- mindfulness meditation
- hugging and platonic touch like holding hands
- closing reflections and check-ins
