Small Stones, BIG Impact – Spreading Joy Throughout Our Community

Join us for a delightful Mother’s Day mini-retreat where we’ll come together to create ripples of kindness throughout our community. This fun, creative gathering invites women to connect, create, and contribute to a movement of joy that extends far beyond our circle. By painting inspirational messages on rocks and placing them around town, we’ll create unexpected moments of happiness for strangers while building meaningful connections with each other.

The Experience:

  • A welcoming circle led by Melissa Pas Blake of Pasitive Solutions
  • Fun community-building activities at the Gorton Center
  • Creative rock painting with inspirational messages
  • Refreshments, connections, and meaningful conversation
  • $25 participation fee with 100% of proceeds benefiting Mothers Trust Foundation

Rock Message Ideas: “You’re loved, “You matter,” “You’re enough,” “Kindness ripples outward,” “Joy finds you today,” “Pass the smile along,” “Small acts change everything.”

Each rock will include: “Keep me, share me, or place me somewhere new to spread the joy! #RipplesOfKindness”

This Pre-Mother’s Day, Thursday, May 8th, 7-9:00 pm CST, join us to create beautiful ripples of positivity that will spread throughout our community—one painted rock, one found treasure, and one moment of unexpected joy at a time. Remember, every dollar goes directly to supporting the Mothers Trust Foundation and its important work for mothers in need!
