A new nonprofit organization is bringing together sound healers from around the world through a digital platform that connects practitioners and participants across 11 languages. Connected888, founded in 2024 by sound healer and Reiki Master Laura McCracken, aims to create a global network of frequency healing practitioners while making their services more accessible to the public.

The organization’s flagship initiative is a 24-hour Global Resonance Transmission scheduled for August 8, 2025, during what practitioners refer to as the Lion’s Gate Portal. The event will broadcast healing sound frequencies at 888Hz, a frequency that proponents believe promotes emotional balance and self-confidence. Participants from multiple time zones will join meditation and sound healing sessions throughout the continuous broadcast.
Connected888’s platform offers several services to support the sound healing community. The organization maintains a searchable directory where people can find practitioners in their area, while also providing free web pages for healers to showcase their work. Monthly sound healing events feature artists from various cultural traditions, with sessions conducted in multiple languages to ensure global accessibility.
The August 8 event draws inspiration from the 1987 Harmonic Convergence, when millions of people worldwide participated in synchronized meditation. McCracken founded Connected888 after what she describes as receiving inspiration during the 2024 Lion’s Gate Portal, an astrological event that occurs annually when the sun aligns with the star Sirius.
Sound healing, a practice that uses vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks, has gained mainstream attention in recent years. Practitioners believe specific frequencies can influence physical and emotional well-being, though scientific research on these effects remains limited. The 888Hz frequency chosen for the global transmission is particularly significant in numerology and is associated with abundance and balance in various spiritual traditions.
The nonprofit organization has already established infrastructure to support its growing community. Since launching, Connected888 has provided dozens of sound healers with digital presence and international exposure through its platform. The multilingual directory addresses a common challenge in the wellness industry: connecting practitioners with clients who speak different languages or come from diverse cultural backgrounds.
The upcoming Global Resonance Transmission represents an ambitious attempt to coordinate sound healing practices on an unprecedented scale. Unlike typical online wellness events, this 24-hour continuous broadcast will accommodate participants across all time zones, allowing for rolling participation as the Earth rotates through the day.
For sound healers, the platform offers practical benefits beyond community building. The free hosted web pages eliminate technical barriers that often prevent practitioners from establishing an online presence. The global event promotion service helps individual healers reach audiences they might not access independently, particularly important for those working in smaller communities or specialized traditions.
The timing of the August 8 event coincides with what many spiritual communities consider an energetically significant date. The Lion’s Gate Portal, marked by specific astronomical alignments, has become an annual focal point for meditation and healing practices worldwide. By scheduling their inaugural global transmission during this period, Connected888 taps into existing momentum within these communities.
As alternative wellness practices continue to find broader acceptance, platforms like Connected888 represent a shift toward more organized, accessible networks for both practitioners and participants. The organization’s multilingual approach and free services for healers address practical barriers that have historically limited access to these practices.
Registration for the Global Resonance Transmission is currently open through the Connected888 website, where interested participants can also explore the sound healer directory and learn more about upcoming monthly events. The platform continues to accept new practitioners who wish to join the directory and participate in future global healing initiatives.
