World Sound Healing Day 2026

World Sound Healing Day 2026 at The Monastery

Sunday 15th February, 10am – 4pm

A co-created day of global sound, sacred stillness and planetary peace.

Join us in the sacred space of the Great Nave for a very special gathering to mark the 24th Annual World Sound Healing Day – a global event where thousands of people around the world unite their voices and vibrations in a shared prayer of sound, love and compassion for Mother Earth.

Together, we’ll co-create a powerful field of intention and harmony, contributing to a wave of healing that radiates from the heart of The Monastery, through the ley lines beneath us, and out into the world.

What to expect

This is a rich, immersive day of sound, connection and soul-centred practice, led by some of our most beloved sound healing facilitators:

Gong bath with Des McGuire
Crystal bowls & instruments with John Hofton and Des McGuire
Chants, toning & sacred song led by John Hofton
The Awakening Prayer with Alison Knox
Circles of Peace with Laura Roberts and Laura Patryas
Circle dance & silence with Dr. Ana Borges Da Costa

This year’s gathering will be held with deep gratitude to Jonathan Goldman, who envisioned this global sonic valentine – an offering of sound healing and collective consciousness for all sentient beings.

Is any special clothing or equipment needed to take part?

We’d recommend wearing warm, loose, comfortable clothing. You may wish to bring a yoga mat, blanket and pillow should you wish to lie down for the sound healing sessions.

Why join World Sound Healing Day?

When we heal ourselves, we help to heal the world. And when we send love and sound to the Earth, we amplify peace, balance, and beauty in every corner of the planet.

Together, we remember that we are not separate – we are the song.
