Welcome to The Summit FM's Music & Wellness Program

At Summit FM, we believe music is more than just something you listen to—it’s something you feel. It connects us, grounds us, and helps us heal. That’s why we created our Music & Wellness initiative—to bring the power of music into our everyday lives in ways that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. As a community-focused public radio station, we believe in using music as a tool for wellness, healing, and human connection.

From live performances and movement workshops to curated playlists and community events, our goal is to create meaningful experiences that inspire connection, reflection, and joy.

How does music support wellness? Here are just a few of the ways:

  • Lowers stress and anxiety – Music can help calm the nervous system and regulate emotions.
  • Boosts mood and motivation – The right song can lift your spirits and energize your day.
  • Strengthens social connection – Sharing music brings people together and builds community.
  • Supports sleep and relaxation – Soothing sounds can improve sleep quality and help you wind down.
  • Enhances physical movement – Music encourages mindful movement, from gentle stretching to dancing.
  • Fosters self-expression – Playing or creating music offers a healthy outlet for emotions.

Whether you're tuning into the station or joining us at in-person event, we’re glad you’re here. Let’s explore how music can help us all feel a little "better'er!"
