Make someone's day while discovering a different side of Austin
1 hr
Activity list, Walking exploration
Explore everyday human behavior through an Austin outing that mixes kindness with playful social experiments. Put your curiosity and imagination to work as you notice how small gestures can shape an interaction.
We will convene at rotating eclectic, unique, and beautiful locations in and around Austin for a meet-and-greet and "pow-wow" to present the assignment. We will then explore the area on foot, committing alternating random acts of kindness and social experiments from a list that's provided. Guests will conduct a series of specific acts but with plenty of their own judgment and imaginations engaged too. These acts will involve sightseeing like a local in a vibrant pocket of Austin while learning how others tick and truly making an unsuspecting soul's day over and over.
For social experiments, guests may be asked to step into an elevator without turning around to face the front and then to note the reactions of the public. For random acts, they may be finding someone who needs a hand/compliment, paying a cup of coffee forward, etc. In the end, guests won't be able to help but grin from ear to ear after having witnessed, participated in, and created a multitude of special moments invoking insights about the human psyche, deep gratitude, and "warm fuzzies." We celebrate at an enchanting café, sharing stories and enjoying the afterglow. Other things to note We accommodate everyone. This activity is family and dog friendly.
