On the first full moon of 2026, the 1,000th Healing Stone was gifted in Osa, Costa Rica.

Our constellation of connection now spans 26 countries and 39 states.

 

And now we celebrate

 

The purpose of the Healing Stone Crusade is to serve as a reminder we’re all connected, nature heals, and community matters. This crusade is for everyone who believes in or desires connection. Every age, every color, every gender, every nationality. Everyone.

Why we’re celebrating.

1,000 Healing Stones were created and shared around the world in the name of connection, nature and community. That’s no small feat. Plus, coming together and creating moments of joy has impact, especially in times of turmoil. We did a thing - let’s celebrate it.

If you don’t yet have a Healing Stone, join the crusade and I’ll send one your way.

Details.

March Update: a venue and date (late summer!) are on hold - I’m pretty sure you’re gonna to love this space! Super important - we have until April 7 to partner with a Fiscal Sponsor and procure a high-level sponsorship (hint hint) before we can lock in. This is a pivotal moment as these two things need to happen in order for the celebration to happen.

Our meditation guide, sound healer, and DJ have all verbally confirmed. I have stars in my eyes knowing these beautiful beings are coming together to celebrate you and our global connection. I recommend signing-up for the monthly(ish) newsletter for real time announcements :)

Streaming the event is on hold. The constellation art installation is also on hold - this is a “nice to have,” dependent on funds raised.

Will you be a part of making it happen?

Say yes! and hit me up if you either KNOW someone or ARE someone who can offer any of the following:

  • Sponsor(s) and patrons to contribute to funding the event - this will only happen with their/your support
