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 bold, simple act of faith in human connection and a need to take action. The crusade is open to everyone. Every age, race, gender, and nationality. The only requirement is a belief in connection.

The initial goal was to place a hand-made Healing Stone 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 the full spectrum of human experience.

The time has come to celebrate.

The 1,000 Connections Celebration will bring Healing Stone crusaders and connectors (that's you!) together for a guided meditation anchored by personal healing stones,* a sound bath/drumming experience, and labyrinth dance party. A moment of joy that says, “I see you."

Holding space for you during the special evening of connection:

Darek Mazzone - DJ, KEXP/SAMA
Faustine Hudson - sound healer

Kristen Winn - energy weaver, Healing Stone Crusade founder

But this celebration only happens with your support. Say yes 🥰.

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 low. 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 at the Sept. 27 celebration.
