World Human Spirit Day is observed annually on February 17th and serves as a celebration of the profound connection humans have to something greater than themselves. Founded by Michael Levy, the day encourages individuals to reflect on their inner lives and the limitless possibilities of the human spirit. Typical customs include observing five minutes of silence to appreciate human connections and engaging in deeper interactions with others, fostering mindfulness in daily encounters. Participants may also choose to read literature that promotes peace and connection, such as Levy's own book, "What’s the Point?" The day emphasizes the importance of spiritual awareness and gratitude for life’s experiences, inviting people to contemplate their purpose and the creative, peaceful aspects of existence.
