The White Stone of Forgiveness Ceremony and Sound Healing
2026-04-03 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Phoenix) | AZ
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.

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.

June Gifts and Graces: Navigating Change: The Hidden Steps to Resolution
2026-06-05 18:00 - 19:00 | AZ
It’s often said that when one door closes, another opens. Southwest Institute of Healing Arts
(SWIHA) embodies this truth, having navigated many transitions over the past 34 years. Now, we stand on the brink of another significant change: our lease at 1538 E. Southern has expired, and we will be relocating to a new facility just across the way in Tempe City Towers. This move will allow us to embrace the beautiful green belt and unite our three building around pond area (SOY and SWINA), creating more of a campus effect!
As this will be the last monthly event held at our current building, we invite you to join us in a spirit of gratitude and appreciation for the cherished memories created within these walls.
Jennifer Sanders, RPE, RPP—Director of Polarity and Integrated Cranial Sacral Unwinding Programs at SWIHA—has chosen the perfect topic for this gathering: “Navigating Change: The Hidden Steps to Resolution.” Jennifer will guide you through the gentle, clear sequence that every meaningful shift follows—be it personal, collective, or global. In a world that moves quickly and often brings stress, understanding where you are in your journey is truly magical.
This event promises to be more than just a listening experience; it’s an interactive journey of
self-discovery. You’ll actively participate, map your own process, and learn to identify the stages
that lead to resolution, fresh clarity, and real, lasting change.
Additionally, many of our graduates will be joining us as vendors or practitioners, offering complimentary services throughout the evening. We will also host a “garage sale” style event in the bookstore, liquidating items that won’t be moving to our new location next month. This is a wonderful
opportunity to celebrate and reflect together as we transition into a new chapter.
Join us for an evening filled with insight, community, and heartfelt appreciation. We look forward to celebrating with you!
