We accept kindness as currency!
KindePay is our way of taking action to create a kinder world, one in which kindness is valued and encouraged.
OUR BELIEFS
We believe that when mindfulness and meditation are combined with kindness and action, it becomes a more complete practice for relieving stress, anxiety, and building resilience and connection. To give from a place of abundance brings immense joy, connection, meaning, and a sense of purpose. To access this abundance we need to start acting as though kindness is valuable in a tangible way. Accepting kindness as currency is our form of activism.

FAQ
Where did this idea come from?
There is a growing movement that recognises that capital is not just financial. There are multiple forms of capital but when we view capital through the singular lens of financial wealth, we miss the richness that is all around us - social capital, nature capital, spiritual capital, time capital, experience capital. At Peacebeam, we believe in kindness and the capital it creates in our world - joy, connection, empathy, hope, possibility, and a future we want to imagine. We have been influenced by some of the visionary thinkers in this field and then tried to imagine what kindness as capital would look like in practical terms - thanks for helping us to contemplate that question.
