Global Healing Day Launches a Worldwide Invitation to Heal People and Planet

An annual, decentralized day of action, reflection and collective intention begins April 25, 2025.

A new global initiative, Global Healing Day, is inviting people, communities and organisations around the world to take part in a shared act of healing on Saturday 25 April 2025, with the day set to continue annually on the last Saturday of April.

Global Healing Day is not a single event or branded campaign. It is a living, decentralized ecosystem - a shared moment in time that amplifies the many healing practices, wisdom traditions and initiatives already working across personal, social, ecological and cultural dimensions.

Emerging at a time of converging global challenges - from rising mental health distress and social fragmentation to ecological breakdown - Global Healing Day responds to a growing recognition that today’s crises are interconnected expressions of deeper systemic wounds. Healing, the initiative suggests, is no longer optional, symbolic or peripheral, but a practical and moral imperative.

“Global Healing Day is about creating a shared pause,” said the initiative’s founding collaborators, “ a moment where humanity can listen more deeply - to one another, to the living world, and to the histories and patterns that shape us - and begin to consciously choose what we carry forward.”

One shared day, many expressions
Designed as an open, co-created commons, Global Healing Day invites participation in ways that reflect local cultures, needs and traditions. Activities may range from intimate community healing circles and intergenerational dialogues, to ecological restoration actions, storytelling events, artistic offerings, ceremonies, meditations and public conversations.

Rather than prescribing a single format, the initiative encourages participants to lead from their own centre of knowledge and care - whether Indigenous, scientific, spiritual, artistic, therapeutic or civic - while contributing to a shared global rhythm of intention.

A regenerative vision for the future
At its heart, Global Healing Day envisions a future where healing becomes foundational to how societies function: where education cultivates compassion, economies serve wellbeing, governance honors the Earth and future generations, and cultural narratives support belonging rather than division. The day seeks to honor shared human pain, responsibility and resilience, to acknowledge intergenerational and cross-species harm, to uplift Indigenous and regenerative ways of living, and to create space for new patterns of relationship to emerge.

An open invitation
Global Healing Day is open to individuals, grassroots groups, institutions and global organizations alike. Partners are invited to host or contribute events, share stories and resources, collaborate across sectors, and help shape the evolving story of global healing.
