About World Sound Healing Day
World Sound Healing Day is an organizer-led observance held on February 14. The current site describes 2026 as the 24th annual event, consistent with a 2003 start.
The event was created through Jonathan Goldman / Healing Sounds and invites participants to use intentional sound and meditation around themes of peace, compassion and planetary wellbeing.
Why World Sound Healing Day matters
Terms such as “sound healing,” “global harmonization” and planetary healing describe the organizers’ spiritual and wellness framing; they are not treated here as proof that sound can diagnose, cure or replace treatment for a medical or mental-health condition.
Sound exposure can affect hearing. WHO safe-listening guidance emphasizes that risk rises with louder and longer exposure, so participation should keep volume and duration within safe limits.
