ROCK ISLAND

Leave your demons at sea. Build a life of sobriety, respect, and renewal.

A community circle on Fiesta Island where burdens become stones — and stones become a tower of unity.

The Bigger the Stone, the Harder the Burden

We all carry weight. Some carry more.

On Rock Island, you’re invited to bring a stone that matches your burden — then lay it down in the circle. Stone by stone, we rise together.
