Opportunity Details

A Day Of Kindness 2019: Human Connections and Music on the Beach

Turn off cell phones and make a human connection! Please join us, make eye contact and get connected with strangers... but there are no strangers if you consider that we are all one. ❤️ Knee to knee, hand in hand, maintaining eye contact we start off by saying: "I am the other you and I love you just the same". Then you can talk, meditate or just maintain eye contact. "Take what you need and Pay it Forward" on our brand new Kindness Wall!!
We want lots of volunteers that offer: "Eye Contact", "Free Hugs", "Sit with Me", "Meditate with Me", "Dance with Me"... 

There will be uplifting music, featuring Ava August (the youngest contestant on Voice), Courage To Be Kind awards and speakers all day long ending with a Kindness Meditation at sunset: 4:52p.m.

We will have our vigils of children who have died by suicide due to bullying and we will send them a prayer. With our unity, love and kindness we let them know that we won't let their death be in vain and we are here, unified in kindness, to rise up to bullying.
This year our event will be in collaboration with the City of Laguna Beach to celebrate 2019 World Kindness Day.
