A step-by-step how to begin guide

Before you begin your journey, please take a moment to read the following.

Last updated: 09/10/2025

Kind Caller offers educational, self-guided journeys and experiences focused on self-kindness, reflection, and gentle daily practices. Our ‘living gently’ approach is all about moving through the day with gentleness, patience, and presence. Our practices encourage you to slow down and care for yourself by noticing how you connect with your mind and emotions, body, spirit and relationships, especially the one with yourself. Living Gently doesn’t mean stepping back or giving up. It’s a kind and intentional way to move through your day with compassion for yourself and others.

This guide explains the different pathways to begin Living Gently, either for yourself or by sharing with others in your community.

1. Who Living Gently Is For

Living Gently is an app-based journey designed for individuals who:

• Feel emotionally steady and are not in crisis

• Are open to reflective, self-paced experiences

• Want to care for themselves through gentle, values-based and mindfulness-informed practices

• Want to build everyday self-care habits that support self-awareness and self-kindness

Living Gently is not a mental health or clinical service. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, we recommend checking in with a qualified health professional.

2. Purpose of This Guide

This guide exists to help:

• Individuals decide if a Kind Caller Living Gently journey feels right for them

• Groups in the community understand how to share it appropriately

• Ensure all participants understand the self-paced, non-clinical nature of the experience

3. Why Kind Caller?

Kind Caller is:

• Non-clinical & safe – no diagnoses, pressure, or labels

• Self-paced & private – designed for solo reflection

• Relational – grounded in compassion and care

• Educational – built around self-kindness, inner and outer connection

• Holistically aligned – informed by Te Whare Tapa Whā and relational wellbeing

Whether you’re starting this journey yourself or helping others find their way to it, Kind Caller offers a soft, supportive space in an often disconnected world.

This is not a referral or clinical pathway, it’s simply a way to let us know who helped share the invitation.

For Supporters

8. Share Together: A Values-Aligned Pathway for Sharing Living Gently

Kind Caller offers the Share Together Pathway for individuals and groups who feel aligned to the Compassionate Strength framework.

Who We Walk With

This pathway is designed for those who:

• Are curious about self-kindness, mindfulness, and relational wellbeing

• Want to share Living Gently with family, community, clients, students, followers, or networks

• Would like to receive a thank you for their support

• Prefer a non-clinical, values-led, culturally responsive way of working

This is not a sales or referral pathway in the traditional sense. It’s a gentle supporter model based on reciprocity, care, and trust.

How We Walk Together

As part of the Share Together Pathway, you will:

• Receive a unique invitation code that tells Kind Caller you introduced an individual to a journey

• Be supported with kind, ready-to-use sharing materials to help communicate online or in-person

• Receive a small thank you when someone joins through your invitation and completes the full 12 week journey and experience

Who Can Join

This pathway is suitable for everyone 18+, including:

• Individuals already living in alignment with self-kindness or healing practices

• Mindfulness, wellness and wellbeing practitioners

• Peer supporters, creatives, educators, or facilitators

• Community leaders and organisations offering holistic or values-based services

• Those who prefer learning in relational ways

You don’t need a following, brand, or organisation to join. While having access to a community or audience can help, what matters most is your genuine care and attention towards sharing authentically with those who are ready and likely to benefit from a self-kindness journey (as explained at the start of this guide).

Getting Started: How to Join the Share Together Pathway

Step 1: Book a Call
Let us know you’re interested in finding out more about this pathway.

Integrity and Safety

Because Living Gently is not a clinical service, sharing through the Share Together Pathway remains values-aligned and transparent. That means:

• Never claiming the journey or experience is therapy or treatment

• Only sharing with people who are emotionally steady and self-motivated

• Respecting privacy, you won’t have access to participant information

• Being open to feedback and ongoing dialogue about improving this pathway

• Being aware of our Safety Guide for all participants on a journey

Step 2: Review
If after the chat we both feel the pathway is the right fit we’ll move to step 3.

Step 3: Receive Your Code and Resources
Once you’ve had time to consider becoming a supporter and we’ve mutually confirmed it’s a good fit, we’ll send you a unique invitation code and print and web-ready sharing resources you can access by downloading from our website.

Step 4: Share Gently
Share Living Gently through word of mouth, social media, email, or printed materials, no pressure, just in a way that feels natural to you.

Step 4: Be Recognised
Each time someone signs up using your code and completes the First Insights full journey, you’ll receive a thank you.
