THE SOUNDS TRUE FOUNDATION
We envision a world where people have the inner wisdom tools and growth opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential. We share teachings and practices to empower people on their life journeys, and provide these wisdom-based tools to those affected by trauma, poverty, and social injustice, to people who support these communities, and to our collective public servants. Our programs are designed to remove barriers to access, promote well-being, and shift the world toward compassion and connection. View the Foundation’s 2021 Annual Report to learn more about our programming and impact.
“This is the time where we can really make some big changes in so many aspects of the world. And when you have an opportunity to start to solve so many of the big problems in the world, I know firsthand that mindfulness is one of the best tools to effect that change.”-DANSO, Scholarship Recipient
OUR THREE AREAS OF FOCUS
1. Providing Access to Transformational Education
We want to make transformational education accessible to those who otherwise wouldn’t have access. This includes removing financial barriers to our books and learning programs.

2. Growing a Community Dedicated to a More Loving World
Community is at the heart of our work. That’s why, once a year, we host a three-day gathering to connect with each other and some of the most beloved spiritual teachers of our time.
3. Sharing Stories of Individual and Social Transformation
We share intimate stories ranging from children using meditation in the classroom, prisoners accessing compassion-based skills, to veterans developing the tools of mindfulness.
