The purpose of the Healing Stone Crusade is to serve as a reminder we’re all connected, nature heals, and community matters.

It originated as a simple act of faith in human connection and a need to take action. The crusade is open to everyone; every age, race, gender, nationality. The only requirement is a belief in connection.

The initial goal was to place hand-crafted Healing Stones in the hands of 1,000 people around the world by the end of 2025. No algorithm. No ad spend. Just art, intention, and snail mail.

On the first full moon of 2026, the 1,000th stone was gifted in Osa, Costa Rica, completing a constellation of connection across 39 states and 26 countries.

The Healing Stone recipients span cultures, generations, languages, faiths, identities, and economic backgrounds. This diversity is carried intentionally into our celebration, welcoming a spectrum of human experience.

The time has come to celebrate.

Why contribute to the 1000 Connections Celebration?

Because no matter where you are in the world, you're part of the story. You're helping harness the collective energy of 1000 stones into a gathering that will ripple out tenfold. Dollars raised will cover items such as the venue rental fee, sound equipment, marketing, and keeping ticket pricing accessible. Your contribution is what transforms our milestones into moments. In times of turmoil, coming together and creating joy has real impact. We did a thing. Let's celebrate.

*stones will be available as our gift to you at the Sept. 27 celebration.
