HUGS mission is to research, document, and implement non-violent solutions for earth and her inhabitants with the aim of co-creating a thriving world for all. We are uniting and open-sourcing the world’s best practices by bridging the gap between Solutionaries and resources through various types of support including: grants, sponsorship, marketing, videography, systems and processes, and platforms which cultivate collaboration and sharing. We are unifying groups, individuals, companies and organizations who are building a better future! Mode of Operations HUGS is a next generation type of charity, pioneering a new open-source model by revolutionizing its operations. We are creating an Ancient Future, seaming together indigenous wisdom with modern technologies to bring about a lifestyle that nurtures the real potential of all inhabitants of the earth. Using Sociocracy as our governance model, we provide accountability through equivalency, effectiveness, and transparency within all our operations, creating circles rather than pyramids, fostering autonomy in small groups and drawing on the collective intelligence of the group. We deeply respect and have adopted many indigenous philosophies, creating a sacred space for everything we do. We have opened our board to other world changemakers, aiming to put our hearts and minds together, sharing information and resources to truly create the systems the world needs to restore harmony. We envision HUGS as a universal resource for many to use.
