Asheville Peace Rocks

Spreading messages of Peace that ripple out around the world…
one thought and…one rock at a time.*
 
Every person on the planet has the power to change the world.
 
We encourage people to paint words, images, and messages of peace, hope, love, and joy on ordinary rocks and distribute them all over the world.  Focus your attention on the idea of peace and share that message with others.

How to Create
Asheville Peace Rocks

Painting Asheville Peace Rocks is fun; it’s easy; and it changes the world one person at a time.
1) Gather smooth river rocks. Dry about 24 hours.
2) Paint them with non-toxic, craft paint. Use words, phrases, or images of peace, love, joy, or any other family friendly words or phrases that hold special meaning to you. Host a party with family members, friends, or strangers. After an hour together sharing and learning about each other, we are no longer strangers.
 3) Once rocks are dry, use clear, acrylic spray. The words and paint will last longer if protected.

How to Share Your Rocks

Now, comes the magic! You get to share your Peace Rock master-pieces with the rest of the world. Give them to friends, family, strangers, employees of businesses you frequent, and especially anyone who’s traveling. AND leave Peace Rocks for people to find for themselves.
   Once a rock is found, it can be left there, moved to a new location, or taken and replaced by a rock of the finder's creation. There is always a need for new rocks. Everyone is encouraged to create their own regardless of artistic ability. When people find a rock, if it screams 'Keep Me' they can keep it.
  We get to decide what we want to do with our lives. Do we want to build people up or knock them down? It is our decision. What if we all decide today to choose to have our words help people?
  We are each here on this Earth to show love and kindness to one another. We have the power to change the world. We’ll never know how many lives we can touch with a simple action of sharing a Peace Rock. Take this step in changing your life and the lives of those you can touch through a simple act, a simple yet powerful message painted onto a little river rock that will change your world - our world- forever.
