VIKP – AIME

We have lost our way as a species. Measuring transactions, not relations.

We’ve lost our role as a species, the kindness that ties us in relation, allows us to play our role as the connector between millions of species on planet earth.

We’ve lost our long lens on the future.

And we can reclaim it.

That’s why we are bringing together the people of the world to place kindness on the transactional ledger and to install reclaiming of knowledge, processes, solutions, intelligence, designs, into the centre of the experiences.

Welcome to a page celebrating and rewarding Very Important Kind People (VIKPs).

In the form below you get the chance to nominate a VIKP to join an AIME list of people who receive updates on current opportunities.

These may include but are not exclusive to music festivals (Kindfests), special events, experiences and anything that comes our way that we think a VIKP would love.

Choose from current opportunities in the drop down or skip this part if you simply would like to shout someone out to go onto the list.

Personally, Helen invests her earnings and time thoughtfully… She understands the full story of every item she purchases from clothing to food to transportation, ensuring her footprint is as light as possible. And, Helen has been my mentor in so many ways. If I have a concern, a question or am in a quandary, she is always there to offer her knowledge and experience. She supported me through the birth of my first born – volunteering to be my doula (employing all the knowledge she had acquired from her earlier career as a nurse).

HyoRyung	HyoRyung has brought kindness just by being herself. She is incredibly understanding, empathetic and a great friend. During the initial COVID lockdowns, I was feeling particularly down and she surprised me by sending me a care package with chocolate, tea, beauty products, a book, a few other things and a beautiful message that I still have today. She also committed to a career as a Veterinarian and studied in Korea. I met her as a vet nurse in Australia and most vet nurses are unsurpassable in terms of being kind and empathetic human beings. I don’t think I can measure in hours the amount of time HypRyung has spent being kind. It’s just her.
Georgia Elliott	Georgia has been working to support run the AIME Program in Coffs Harbour. She has volunteered soooo many hours, hosted a program day with 250 students and worked with countless teachers. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who’s done more
	Volunteering at a puppeteer production a few years ago to help bring connections to a community experiencing, separation, grief and loss. She’s now working in tech and has not had a creative outlet for her ideas but persisted regardless of the many challenging obstacles in her way. Even at a young age she always tries to show kindness to her self and others as a way of overcoming these challenges and passes that message forward.
	I answered the number of hours per week because I don’t know how else to calculate it! CJ is my colleague at batyr, a youth-focussed mental health charity and he works tirelessly to support everyone in our community. He’s the treasurer for Deaf Rainbow and an unrelenting activist for fellow deaf folks and the LGBTIQA+ community at large. CJ was super excited by the lineup and it would mean a lot to be able to gift something to someone who gives so much to our team and the community at large.
Lincon Doring	Lincoln supports youth dirtbike events and has put aside $ to make sure that tracks are available in regional communities. He does this with pride and works to make sure others work with him to give kids activities in small communities.

Every day Shikye supports young people to give a voice to their story of mental health at programs in schools and universities and through numerous other engagements such as media opportunities, content creation and consultation. Shikye is also the Director of Australia Galaxy Pageants who are well known for fundraising for different causes. Currently, they are raising money to support youth mental health.
Katrina Retallick	Katrina has been an unintentional mentor to so many people – I can’t speak on behalf of others, but for me personally, she has always given me the gift of time especially when I’ve been seeking advice or opinions or just an ear to help sound out my thoughts and questions. Most recently she’s treated me to some vocal coaching to help get my singing voice back into action … and when I had my second baby, she helped me work through some tricky birthing choices. Time and place can make holding and activating our friendships and connections difficult … but for some VIKP, no matter how far apart we move or how busy we can be, things can always be shuffled into place for those connections to still spark.And for Katrina, this is true.
Jane Wallace	She is the kindest, dearest friend, mother and daughter. She works hard to look after everyone in her life. And she’s full of wisdom and joy.
Alexander Murphy	Alexandra has provided advice to people who are going though times of need and always has time to prioritise those in need. Alex is all giving with no expectations in return. She loves unconditionally, making everyone feel loved and wanted.
Melanie Papasavas	Melanie has always been there for people who are down and out. Mel is never afraid to embrace people from all backgrounds and cultures. Mel is a kind human being who is always there to be a person to lean on and also gives the best advice. Mel is always happy to share advise and stand up for what’s right!!
Clyde Fernandez	Despite being in the corporate (often unkind) setting, Clyde’s led with kindness and this is visible in the way he empowers his teams, and also in the way he dealt with his recent lay-off. Genuinely kind human he is. Deserves a seat in the front row with us 😉
Annie	Jen is perpetually the rallied of others, doer of good, rounder upper of helpers and thinker of people who are too often overlooked. She has an eye for detail and uses it to make people feel truly seen and cared for. She notices the nuance – that look that tells her things might not be 100% for someone. But then she does what most of us forget to do – she clocks it. And then she acts. She reaches out, takes you in and demonstrates genuine care and selflessness. It’s been a bit of a slog for Jen recently and after delivering so much kindness and care to others for so long, I hope she’ll get some back in her direction. I want to call her out and help her feel inspired and excited, ready again to tackle anything with love and warmth and enthusiasm.
Jess Scully	For creating YIMBY in Sydney and for freely giving of her time as the Councillor of Sydney in addition to being an awesome mum and a fab mentor and so much more 🙂

Namrata	this nominee always puts her family’s needs above her own and goes out of her way to ensure that each and every member of her fam (from her parents to her little sis to her tiny infant) are looked after and thriving. that’s a classic eledest south-asian daughter slay. as her little sister, i’m in awe of her selflessness and she has inspired my 2023 kindness goal of actioning and prioritising random and deep acts of kindness towards my family. she is a big fan of the wim hof method and i think it’s about time someone does a kind act for her and gets her free tix to see wim hof at this conference!
Graeme	During covid my dad’s company, that he has ran all his life, got literally torn to the ground. He had to let off all his employees go and we stopped making any income through all of the pandemic. This caused a great impact on my dads mental health. We were scared we were going to loose him. Luckily, in the last few months, my dad has began rebuilding his business from the group up. He has proven himself to be so kind and strong, setting a great example to all his employees and our family. Through this he has maintained his humour, kindness and love, even through his own rough times.

Keegan	Keegan is always helping people however he can. He jumps in to support his family, is always there for his friends, and volunteers his skills to support a variety of not-for-profits and social enterprises such as the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival, the Women’s Art Register, and SalamaTea. In the past couple of weeks he organized a group of people to go to SalamaTea (a social enterprise that supports refugees and asylum seekers) for a cooking class to support the cafe which is struggling at the moment. He spreads kindness by bringing people together and making them feel welcome at work, and by offering endless kindness and emotional support to his partner when she’s very stressed.
Tomas Gronich	Tomas has been volunteering at a PCYC for over four years now. He has been consistently showing up as a volunteer coach 3 days a week and has helped 100s of people become fitter physically as well as mentally.

Caterina Perali	Kindness embodied is Caterina. Since her time at AIME, she has been give-give-ing non-stop into the world around her, and I think this is an inborn quality of hers.

Jemima O’Halloran-Cole	My daughter, Jemima volunteered taking intellectually disabled adults swimming when she was 16 years old. She had completed a first aid course around the previous year due to an interest in a future medical work career and helping others. She saved a friends life after they almost died after a reckless intake of alcohol and drugs. She would not tell me who or how she did this but she did say she stayed with this person for several hours when all the other friends were home in bed. Over a period of three years my daughter saved a close friend of hers from acting on suicidal thoughts And attempts. She did this by sharing her knowledge of first aid and applying it, liaising with police ambulance, psychologists and hospital staff, coordinated transport and tracking to at times chase her friend down before they acted on these impulses. My daughter was on the scene and acted in these emergencies when no parents were around. This is at a time when all the other friends were partying and her friend had left because they felt embarrassed or isolated.my daughter discovered her friend’s secret by feeling her pain so strongly that she asked me whether she should help her and be her friend. She asked me because she knew the responsibility and commitment that would take her own time and headspace.My daughter withstood her friend’s parents’ accusations as though my daughter was somehow part of the cause but she recognised their desperation and fear was from their need to blame someone. my daughter spoke to them with kindness to help them locate their daughter. My daughter continued to help them track their daughter’s whereabouts when they were sharp tongued at her for fear their daughter had disappeared forever. My daughter spoke to them plainly and with kindness. They never thanked my daughter for saving theirs.my daughter’s final words to her friends parents were firm and reassuring. They had made being kind so hard. Her friend completed high school and now studies at university even though this kindness shown to her by my daughter was thankless.

Hannah Ashford	131040hrs of kindness – seems a bit far fetched to lay that down but I genuinely think Hannah had the capacity for kindness from the age of two – a child that was taught, but more importantly had moving within her the capacity to be kind. This taking form in her love for her family and close ones, and more broadly her sharing with and relating to other humans. As she grew this deepened and gained complexity, so that it wasn”t pouring from her in direct contact with another human, but also taking shape behind the scenes – where no audience observes – working for others benefits without their direct knowledge, only for them to feel the manifestation of that kindness later and indirectly. Her kindness in recent years is peaking on a global scale in her role with non-for-profit The Karman Project, for whom she sits at the helm as managing director. Without going on too much of a deep dive (go check them out yourself!) her mission with them is the democratisation of space for the betterment of all of us humans on earth. An endeavour so special to her, that at its centre sits kindness – kindness to those around her, kindness to her expanding network, kindness to humanity.

She believes these tools can change the patterning of our mind and how we relate to suffering and pain. I believe if Zelda is able to go to this talk it would expand her knowledge on these topics of healing, tools for this modern life. It would help the community if Zelda is able to continue growing and learning and making connections with other people who are working in these fields.

Kristen	Kristen is a beautiful healer and community ice bath queen. Every Sunday Kristen and I run Icebaths for the public in Bondi beach. Kristen is so dedicated, she wakes at 6am goes to buy tens of kilos of ice then drives down to Bondi and sets up her little tub fills it with ice and welcomes anyone passing by to join in to feel the benefits of breathwork and icebathing. Kristen also offers free counseling and relationship coaching. She herself has been through a huge battle with her physical and mental health and after almost dying from the ridiculous over medication she was being forced fed she went through the fire than rose again like a phoenix. Kristen has such a beautiful energy she is sharing with community to aid in the elevation of vibration of society. She believes that we must do our best to help everyone rise up, bring more joy, more peace, better mental physical health and have more belief more purpose in this precious life we are gifted. I know how valuable it would be for Kristen to come to this great meeting of minds so further expose her to more wisdom and inspired speakers to continue on this journey of spreading positivity, spreading these tools that can help build resilence and cultivate more inner connection to spirit self and the life force. I believe kindness compassion and love can be spread in the community when you have cultivated these feelings for your own good self for your own life. The more you love and value your own life then you value all life and want to love all of life and nourish all of life and see it grow and flourish. Kristen is a great example of this. For years she hated herself and was stuck, through a dark chapter of almost dying is when she transformed and began to love and from this love she holds space for many people in the community to open up and expand into this energy of unbounded love, unbounded abundance and compassion. I really hope you consider Kristen for a pass. It would be so fantastic for her to meet wim Hoff and be in this energy of sharing and connection with these brilliant people who are doing great things for society and for themselves of course. Kristen no matter the weather or if she isn’t up to it, remains a devoted to her community events and Icebaths. She devotes her time to this because she knows community is so important. Bringing people together to motivate inspire share and connect, it’s so vital for the continuation of human kind to evolve. It’s not through technology it’s grassroots and getting back to the essentials where we can all meet each other and heal and grow from the ground up. Please grant Kristen a pass! It would be so valuable to both of us! And the tools and experience we have we can then share to the beautiful community we work with! Thank you for reading!
