12 Cities Where Sound Baths Transform Travel and Wellness

3. Columbus, Ohio — Community-first large-scale gatherings

Columbus has emerged as a notable U.S. hub for large-scale, community-oriented sound events where dozens of practitioners gather to lead mass meditations and sound baths. Coverage of major events shows organizers bringing together practitioners from across the country for outdoor, family-friendly sessions at sites like Columbus Commons. These gatherings may offer 60- to 90-minute experiences suitable for a broad audience and are sometimes tied to civic observances or seasonal festivals. One recent large event reported ticket pricing in the neighborhood of $60 after fees for a curated, full-length session, though smaller drop-in classes and donation-based community offerings are common elsewhere in the city. For visitors, Columbus presents a useful entry point to festival-style sound bathing where the scale creates a communal atmosphere and a pronounced shared resonance. If you prefer something quieter, local studios and smaller wellness centers run weekday classes and private sessions with certified practitioners. Check event listings ahead of time and arrive early for outdoor events to claim a comfortable spot.
