PETITION TO MAKE NATURE PRESCRIPTIVE
H.E.R.O. is advocating for the possibility to prescribe nature, not instead of, but as a supplement to medicine. In several countries doctors are able to prescribe time in nature – so why can’t this be done here in the richest country in the world?
The Cuban Delegation began at…
In 2023, HERO sponsored its Cuba Delegation to support healing and hold trauma. During the delegation we exchanged with Cubans, local organizers, such as Witness for Peace, healers, and nature-lovers. Together we share strategies for healing environmental justice and community organizers. As peacemakers we explore how capitalism, imperialism, and environmental racism challenge work for justice across the Americas and focus on the effects of the U.S Blockade as the primary obstacle to peace!
The 20-second Hugs 2 Heal Challenge
The 20-second Hugs 2 Heal Challenge was created to build positive energy connections and improve our interpersonal relationships between our family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers.
The 20-second Hugs 2 Heal Challenge was created from an experience during our winter delegation to Cuba. Our founder, Judith Foster, found it fascinating that many of the natives would hug and greet each other with love and compassion. Through further research, we discovered that “increased levels of oxytocin (the love hormone) reduce blood pressure and cortisol (the stress hormone), it increases happiness, lowers stress, and improves relationships and connections.” Giving and receiving is also a way for people to build positive energy connections.
