Care, shared foward.

Our community worry stones are handcrafted across Calmware workshops. Each one carries the touch, time, and intention of many hands. These are made to be gifted freely to people who may need comfort, support, and a reminder that they are not along.

These stones are offered for community care, not commerce.

This project began as a way to transform collective making into collective care. At workshops, participants shape stones with the intention that they will eventually reach someone they may never meet — a stranger who could use a moment of calm, connection, or kindness.

Community Worry Stones have been shared with schools, healing spaces, mutual aid efforts, nonprofit events, and gatherings centered on care, justice, and belonging.

If you’re hosting an event, leading a community group, or supporting people through a difficult moment, you’re invited to request stones below.

About the Project

Because this is a small, artist-led project, requests are reviewed based on availability and alignment with the spirit of community care. Whenever possible, stones are offered free of charge; in some cases, we may ask for help covering shipping.
