Kindness lab uses filmmaking to help you grow kindness in yourself and others, thus creating kinder relationships, kinder cities, and a kinder planet. It’s a unique idea that will not only give you new skills but also make your life beautiful.
finding true happiness
Our world is becoming more intelligent, but less kind. New technology has brought new challenges. We have more connectivity, but less connection. Anger, intolerance, and divisions are on the rise. Our education system continues to focus on growing knowledge, but the real success in life comes from growing character.
Learn Kindness. Learn Filmmaking.
Many people chase happiness or success in life. What they don’t realize is that these are outcomes not goals – just like fruits from the tree of life. For the tree to give fruits it needs to be healthy first. When you learn to bring kindness into your life, you bring the right conditions for creating remarkable positive change.
Kindness is a simple yet powerful force of transformation. By practicing kindness, we can improve our own well-being, strengthen our relationships, and create a better world for all.
If you would like to bring a little more kindness to your world, join us in this unique experiment. There is no age restriction. Feel free to involve friends and family members into this project.
How Does It Work?
Over the course of 15 days, we will train you to create interesting videos and visual stories on kindness using your smartphone. Through simple yet fun activities you will get to create a kindness map for your life. Each session will have a new theme and slowly expand your experience of kindness, thus transforming your inner nature.
Stage 1: Kindness for self – small steps, big changes.
Stage 2: How to create kindness in close friends and family.
Stage 3: How to make your city and society kinder.
Stage 4: Spreading seeds of kindness for mother Earth and its myriad beings.
Selected participants of the Kindness Lab will be part of a close-knit Whatsapp group. This group will learn with each other and inspire each other. At the start of the lab we will send you all the course material which you can save on your phone or computer. This new skill of filmmaking for change shall remain with you as a gift.
Together we will create visual stories that touch our hearts and move our souls.
Mainstream media is filled with negative news, and social media seems to favour junk content. By learning to create short videos with a beautiful theme, we will be able to inspire and influence many minds.
The Kindness lab initiative aims to sow hundreds of seeds of kindness all around us. The science of kindness offers a large number of benefits that will last through your life. Give it a try and see how it transforms your world.
