Take a moment of silence on World Listening Day to appreciate the beauty of nature, your community, and the people around you!
World Listening Day on July 18th is an exciting day to celebrate the beauty of listening! This holiday was created in 2010 by the World Listening Project, which works to promote the importance of sound and acoustic awareness. It's a great opportunity to take some time out of your day and really listen - not only with your ears but also with your heart.
Take a few moments to listen to the birds, the wind, or the sound of the ocean. Nature has its own soundtrack and it’s just waiting for you to tune in.
Spend some time exploring different genres of music. Put on a record, stream some tunes online, or check out a local show.
Find something that interests you and get lost in the storytelling. Podcasts are an immersive experience that take you where ever they want.
A sound bath is an incredible way to experience sound and vibration. You can find venues hosting these events near you.
Gather some instruments and make your own musical masterpiece. Grab some friends and have a jam session or just let your creativity flow.
World Listening Day is a great way to appreciate all the amazing sounds that nature has to offer. From birdsong to ocean waves, there is an endless array of beautiful sounds in the world and taking time to listen can have a peaceful and therapeutic effect.
By tuning into our surroundings, we become more mindful of what is happening around us. This can help us become more connected with each other and our environment, both of which are essential for cultivating peace and harmony in the world.
Listening carefully can help spark imagination and creativity. We often miss out on unique sounds due to everyday distractions like cell phones or traffic noise. Putting these devices away, and taking a moment to actively listen, can open up a world of possibilities when it comes to creating art or music.
