Stones speak to us.They ground us in ways we may not fully understand, yet when you are drawn to them, you feel it. From the first time, as a child, you slip one into your pocket, to the moment you send one skipping across the water, there is a quiet exchange of energy. A oneness.
For thousands of years, humankind has turned to stones and crystals for their healing energy—used in rituals, worn as jewelry, and placed in sacred spaces. Whether their power lies in ancient energy or simply in the calm they inspire, their beauty and presence bring meaning to us all.
That meaning transcends at Kinstone. It feels almost as if the land itself is thanking Kristine Beck for creating such a sacred space. The trees, the rock, the Earth—everything welcomes you like an old friend calling you home.

We are being drawn, more than ever, to places like Kinstone. It is as if our ancestors, our souls, even the Earth herself, know we need to come together to heal—both ourselves and the land.
Kinstone would be magical in any moment, but arriving for a sound bath beneath a full moon—on the 8/8 portal—was a moment steeped in alignment.
From the moment I arrived, I could feel the sacredness in the air. Kristine created this space to help people reconnect with nature and the Earth, and her intention is palpable. This land radiates warmth, clarity, light, and love.
The first sculpture I encountered was The Three Witnesses & the Pangaea Stone, perfectly placed to overlook the sunset—a synchronistic moment as the view unfolded in perfect harmony.
Passing through the Peace Portal, I was reminded of the land’s greater intention: to bring healing not only to the Earth but to all who inhabit it. I whispered a short prayer for those in conflict, hoping they may find unity in spaces like this.
In visiting with Kristine, you quickly sense that Kinstone is more than her home—it is part of her soul. “I created Kinstone as a ‘place to be’ where I could experience peace in the midst of chaos, connection in a world full of division and isolation, and a return to LIFE in every sense of the word,” she shared. “It has become that and so much more—for me and for everyone seeking the same.”
The Stone Circle—where the sound bath would take place—feels like an ancient gathering place. The mammoth stones anchor you deeply into their energy. Past the pond, I sat at the Stone Picnic Table and set an intention for the evening, sending love and light to this place and all who enter it.
The chapel drew me in with its ornate glass and intricate woodcuts—each piece an invitation to look closer.
Later, as I lay beneath one of the massive stones during the sound bath, I felt its coolness against the heat of the summer night. I was struck by the thought that while my physical body will be gone in fifty years, this stone will remain for millennia. It has stood for thousands of years already and now stands with its kin in a circle of unity.
This place leaves a mark on the Earth—not through destruction, but through healing. Created with the principles of permaculture, Kinstone is a regenerative, sustainable space designed to live with the land, not on it. I imagine that in a thousand years, it could be as revered as Stonehenge—a place where the ancients (that’s us) crafted something that could withstand time and elements.
Walking from the Stone Circle to the Chapel to the labyrinth, you are guided by quotes, signs, sculptures, and stone monuments—each deepening the reverence of the moment. This is a place that calls forth awakening, appreciation, healing, love, light, and, most importantly, unity.
Thank you, Kristine, and thank you, Kinstone, for creating and sharing this sacred space.
