Let’s celebrate
Healing Stone Crusade: 1,000 Connections Celebration
Sunday, September 27, 2026 • 6:00p - 9:00p • National Nordic Museum, Seattle, WA
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.
KEXP/SAMA DJ, Darek Mazzone spinning global beats
Faustine Hudson, drumming and sound experience
Dr. Ash Goddard DACM, heart-centered meditation guide
Our chosen container, the National Nordic Museum, is a welcoming and stunning space for this immersive experience. We’ll gather on the Sun Terrace for a labyrinth dance party set to world music by KEXP/SAMA DJ, Derek Mazzone; relax under the constellation of lights in Osberg’s Grand Hall for a drumming/sound bath experience with Faustine Hudson, and a guided group meditation with Dr. Ash Goddard, DACM. Stones hand-gathered from the shores of the Olympic Peninsula will be waiting for you as we connect with the 1,000 healing stones that now spans 26 countries and 39 states.
