Karma has many meanings; one meaning simply translates to: “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Basically, do a good deed (action) and a good deed will be returned to you – sometimes many times over and in unexpected ways – a cause and effect relationship that is not always immediate or obvious but a great way of looking at things and how actions and intentions move in the world. Simply, kindness spreads kindness (careful though – this relationship can go the other way too).

So the Karma Barn is about spreading good karma (actions) and having those actions spread further by those who pay it forward into their communities. There have been some wonderful stories about how people have done this: paying for someone else’s groceries, volunteering or donating to a favoured charity. The karma is having a ripple effect in our community.
