This hands on event invites you to paint rocks with intention, creativity, and a sense of play. Whether you’re painting a message to brighten a stranger’s day or crafting something meaningful to keep, there’s no wrong way to make your mark. 🌈

We’ll start with a short reflection and rock-collecting walk, then settle into relaxed art-making with iced tea on hand and good vibes all around. No experience needed, just curiosity and a rock or two (we’ll have extras!).

Come as you are, paint what you feel, and maybe leave behind a little piece of kindness for someone else to find.
