Frequently Asked Questions
If you are a corporation or an organization it is required that you reach out to us prior to your participation at thekindnessrocksproject@gmail.com
IS THERE A FEE FOR JOINING THE PROJECT?
We require that Corporations, Organizations and Schools purchase our eco-friendly paint supplies which have been carefully curated to ensure that they are safe for the environment and that they adhere to our LNT-Leave No Trace Practices. Also, we have created a 5 step mindfulness based process that must be followed for groups joining us to ensure that the intention of the project is adhered to. Our supplies help support the project and give back to the community by supporting our philanthropic partner The Happy Hope Factory.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE IN CREATING KINDNESS ROCKS™ FOR OTHERS?
Our purpose is simple, to cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness.
HOW DO I BECOME A “FEATURED POST” ON THE KINDNESS ROCKS PROJECT® SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES?
We would LOVE to share your posts and all of the great work you or your group is doing to spread kindness in our world, in fact, we want to feature each and every one of YOU, as this is a project of MANY! Simply email your photos and stories to Thekindnessrocksproject@gmail.com and in the subject line please put “feature request”... that way we will be sure to get to you faster.
HOW DO I JOIN BY STARTING MY OWN PAGE IN MY OWN COMMUNITY?
We are so happy you are joining us and would like to bring TKRP to your community, that is what this project is all about…spreading kindness! We also realize that some of you may like to open your own Facebook Page so that you can connect with other rock stars in your area and/or track your followers and those who find your kindness rocks. Simply create your own page and ADD in your ABOUT US section in your bio that you are a part of TKRP. It’s as simple as that! Then be sure to link yourself to our Project by using #TheKIndnessRocksproject in the body of your posts. In addition, be sure to email us photos and stories so we can feature your kindness with the rest of the project!
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE KINDNESS ROCKS PROJECT®?
As this project has continued to grow around the world, the original intention of the process of creating kindness rocks as a form of self-compassion first and foremost has been lost. We are living in a world of information overload and with that, often the origins of things are lost and ideas spread from simple images on social media rather than people taking the time to research and learn more about the project. There are many therapeutic benefits in the process of creating a kindness rock. We must recognize the need for kindness within ourselves first and foremost before we understand and recognize that need in others. Therefore, we have created a Kindness Rocks Certified Workshop Facilitator program to encourage others to learn more and then go spread that information in their communities. Our hope is that we can educate hundreds of facilitators who can then host workshops in their communities with the correct process and important information.
WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE PROJECT?
Great Question, please read the “how it all began” page…Our goal is simple, connect many, inspire & empower others to join us in creating a kinder world!
WHY NOT START MY OWN PROJECT?
Many people have been inspired by our project and they have inquired about starting their own project. We think that’s super cool that we inspired you, however when one strays from the project and creates their own similar project without connecting back to us, the ultimate goal of inspiring many through the power of connection is weakened, and Kindness connects us all. Together we are more powerful than alone. This project is powered by each and every member and that’s pretty awesome, so why not join us.
HOW DO I POST MY PICTURES ONTO THE KINDNESS ROCKS PROJECT® PAGE?
When you do a post and tag The Kindness Rocks Project it will go to our page or use @TheKindnessRocksProject and it will find its way to our pages feed so others can also see it. (You must "like" or "follow" our page before you are able to tag us)
WHAT IS A HASHTAG? (lessons from my teenage daughter)
A Hashtags turns topics and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your personal Timeline or Page. This helps people find posts about topics they’re interested in. To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with TheKindnessRocksProject® and add it to your post (and the back of your rock). When you click a hashtag, you’ll see a feed of posts that include that hashtag. That is how we connect as a project with one another. Instagram recently added a feature that you can "follow" a certain # as simple as following another page.
