TOGETHERNESS...AVAILABLE NOW!

Welcome to ChickPeace! 
At ChickPeace, we are thrilled to open our doors to the global community as we present our very first gift item just in time for the holiday season! Want to visit the site immediately? Go!



As busy as life seems to be, we say so much more when we are willing to spend time with others. Imagine giving a gift that lasts all year, is low in cost, earth-friendly, life-giving, and is a shared experience...Togetherness is the greatest gift of all! And you are helping to create the future of gift giving when you purchase a ChickPeace product.







Togetherness: the Greatest Gift of All

This Togetherness Keepsake Tin, containing 12 Shared Experience Cards, is the perfect gift to show someone special just how much you enjoy sharing time with them. Long after the best "things" are forgotten or worn out, experiences shared together are gifts that become part of us forever. 
The Togetherness Keepsake Tin is truly the gift that keeps on giving and growing. Heartfully created––with fun, creative, and easy-to-do activity suggestions––the Togetherness Keepsake Tin helps you cultivate connection, experiences, and memories.
Illustrated by artist, Lilli Carre, the well-crafted retro-oval Togetherness Keepsake Tin with embossed lid is charming and useful on its own, but continues to surprise and delight because it contains cards redeemable for 12 experiences you can share together. Not only that, the cards are printed on "wildflower-seeded" cards that can actually be planted to grow. 

Earth-Wise

And the Earth gets a gift, too. The Togetherness Keepsake Tin is produced from 25% recycled tin and is intended to be reused to hold mementos of your experiences.  Or, use it for notes, sundries, or notions. Perhaps poke a few holes in the bottom, add some soil, and plant the completed activity "seeded" cards in the tin and watch them grow --- like the deepening connection you have cultivated with your special person.





The Story of Togetherness
A few years ago, during the holidays, Kirsten Kairos (KK) found herself extremely low on cash...running on fumes, actually. She wanted to find a unique and personal way to still be able to participate in gift giving, and was inspired to create something from scratch.

Sourcing her heart, she asked, "What would be the greatest gift I could receive?" The answer poured out, "Sharing time with someone!" It takes loving, conscious intention to create quality time, as opposed to running to the mall to get the latest fashionable sweater, pair of shoes, or electronic gadget. She began to bubble up with a list of activity-based adventures she could offer to share with someone special, and realized that this gift of Togetherness could last all year long. She had never been this thrilled about gift giving---all because she truly wanted to share time with chosen family and friends to which she gifted, what was then called, "The Togetherness Box."

By the end of that year,  Kirsten was launching her first journey music CD, "birth of the ONE," and sought an exceptional artist to create the packaging and promotional materials. Recalling some of the Krishna Das CD covers she loved, Kirsten researched to find the artist, Lynda Carré.

Lynda and Kirsten began working together long distance---Lynda is based in Los Angeles, and Kirsten is in New York. It was an immediate bond, and the CD and other projects were successfully realized. Lynda loved Kirsten's gift idea for "Togetherness" and suggested that it be carefully packaged and offered to the public to refocus the nature of gift giving on shared time and conscious connection.

Many design explorations, incorporating the results of surveys and review from family, friends, and focus groups---regarding the absolutely best "shared activities/experiences"---resulted in creation of the "The Greatest Gift of All--Togetherness" in a unique retro-shaped keepsake tin with "wildflower seeded" activity cards, illustrated by recognized animator, author, and comics artist,  Lilli Carré.

The friendship and co-creative working relationship is a testament to what Togetherness is about. We can accomplish so much with clear communication, the willingness to share adventures, and the heart and courage to journey within to draw from true peace, timeless love, and conscious connection.

We sincerely hope you will find as much joy in giving this "Greatest Gift of All" as we do. 
Again, welcome! We hope you'll visit us very soon at www.chickpeace.com.

Peace to ONE. Peace to ALL.
