[Prospect Park] "Love Rocks!" Rock Painting, Cacao + Spreading Kindness
Sun, Jul 26, 3:00 PMWe will gather in nature in Prospect Park to express our creativity, make friends and spread kindness through the joy of rock painting. No experience necessary - come as you are! ❤️ **What to expect:** * Outdoor fun in the sun **🌞** * Creativity + connection with like-minded souls **🎨👭** * Ceremonial-grade cacao **☕** * Vegan snacks **🥨🍎** We will paint our rocks + include positive messaging on the back. We will then leave them around the park with an uplifting note for people to find. The philosophy is that whoever truly needs it will find your rock. We will also each craft 1-2 rocks to bring home with us! No experience needed, no pressure - all are welcome, come as you are! Free to participate but will have donation QR set up at event if you’d like to donate! **Meeting Place:** We will meet at the Wellhouse in Prospect Park: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wellhouse/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xea721f8f25d45234?sa=X&ved=1t:2428&ictx=111 where, depending on the amount of people and park conditions, we will either paint at the picnic table in the nearby green space, or I will lead us on a 5 minute walk to a shaded grassy area where we can paint on blankets on the ground. **I will be providing the following supplies:** \- 2\-3 lightweight picnic blankets \- Rocks for painting \- Acrylic paint pens for the group to share \- Cardboard squares to paint \+ dry our rocks \- Basic vegan snacks \- 1 large thermos of ceremonial cacao to share \- Eco\-friendly paper cups \- Baby wipes for our hands \- A gallon of water to refill our bottles \- Icebreaker questions for chit\-chat\! :\) Please bring your own water bottle and anything else you'd like (food, blanket, etc) to make yourself more comfortable! **A rough schedule of events include:** \- 11am: Meeting in front of the [Wellhouse](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wellhouse/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xea721f8f25d45234?sa=X&ved=1t:2428&ictx=111) (I will be there by 10:45am to meet anyone coming early!) \- 11:15: Walking and setting up our space \- 11:45: Introduction to creating kindness rocks \- 12pm: Paint rocks\, sip cacao\, have snacks and get to know each other\! \- 1:30: Attach our "kindness/love note\(s\)" to our dried rock\(s\) \- 1:45: Goodbyes and dispersing to place our kindness rocks around the park\.

A $10 donation (or less - whatever you can afford!) via Venmo at the event is super appreciated to help cover the cost of hosting and supplies. ❤️ **About the rock painting:** Inspired by the [Abundant Love Project](https://www.instagram.com/abundantloveproject/) and [Kindness Rocks](https://www.thekindnessrocksproject.com/) projects, we will use paint pens to color and design our rocks and include positive messaging on the back such as "You are Loved" or "You Got This!" to leave around the park with a loving attached note for people to find. The philosophy is that whoever truly needs it will find your rock. We will also each craft 1-2 rocks to bring home with us! **About cacao:** In the ancient Mayan tradition, cacao (or chocolate in its purest form) is revered as a sacred plant medicine and ceremonial drink used to foster connection, gratitude, and communion with the heart. Many people describe ceremonial cacao as heart-opening as it promotes feelings of warmth, emotional presence, and connection. From a scientific perspective, cacao contains compounds such as theobromine, flavonoids, and phenylethylamine, which support the heart, circulation, mood, and a gentle sense of well-being.
