The White Stone of Forgiveness Ceremony and Sound Healing
2026-04-03 18:00 - 19:30
Forgiveness is not forgetting what happened; it’s remembering who you are beyond it. When forgiveness arrives, the heart exhales what it has been holding hostage. It is a quiet strength—the kind that no longer needs armor. By letting go and accepting what we can no longer control, we release ourselves from carrying a story that no longer needs our breath.
Join us for our White Stone Forgiveness Ceremony and Sound Healing. When you forgive, you choose peace over the need to be right. You don’t forgive to excuse the past; you forgive to free the future.
Click this link to reserve your spot: https://calendly.com/swiha-master/white-stone-of-forgiveness-ceremony-and-sound-healing
The White Stone Ceremony is a quiet, intentional ritual of renewal, forgiveness, and inner clarity. It is rooted in the
symbolism of the white stone as a sign of purity, truth, and a new name or way of being. Each person will receive a small white stone and hold it as a mirror of the heart—open, honest, and ready.
-The stone represents what has been carried for too long.
-What is ready to be released?
-What is being forgiven?
-What is quietly being claimed?
The White Stone Ceremony reminds us that we are not defined by what was. You are invited into what is next, and we are always invited to begin again.
When: Friday, April 3rd, 2026 – 6pm – 7:30pm
