Healing Stone crusade

1,000 connections in 2025

The Healing Stone Crusade is in response to the results of the 2024 Presidential Election.

The purpose of this crusade is to serve as a reminder we are 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.

What are Healing Stones?

Healing Stones are a touch point. A constant. I began making them about a decade ago as a way to process grief and quiet my mind. Over the years, stones have been gathered for me and by me from as far as Vik, Iceland to the shores of the San Juan Islands. The creative act of drawing intricate designs on their surface brought calm, grounding, and deep connection. I have recently begun incorporating the alchemical symbols for fire, water, air, and earth to honor the life-force of nature.

What’s the Crusade?

The Crusade is a simple yet impactful way to take action, feel empowered, and have a tangible reminder that we’re connected - to ourselves, to each other, and to this planet.

My wish for us is to connect 1,000 people through Healing Stones in 2025 (100 connections by 1/6/25!). Over the course of the coming year, I will be gifting a Healing Stone to anyone anywhere who wants to join me in this crusade for global connection. I also invite you to make a Healing Stone of your own to share and include in the collective count. I encourage you to spread the word of this crusade to friends, family and acquaintances. The farther we reach, the more we connect, the stronger our foundation.

Once 1,000 people have received their Healing Stones, a day and time will be selected for us to come together in person and virtually to hold our stones in a group meditation, sound bath, and labyrinth walk. Please join my community newsletter or follow me on Instagram @kristen_the_red to stay in touch and receive additional information as it becomes available.

The form below is super important!!

Please complete the form. It isn’t a perfect science by any stretch, but it will help me keep track of how many people are participating and in what city/country. I’ll be marking the destination of every stone (either the one I send or the one you send) on a map that I’ll share along the way. A date and details for the global meditation and labyrinth walk will be shared after the first of the year.
