Description
Programs promoting mindfulness and wisdom for those in frontline roles, educational institutions, care facilities, and correctional centers.
The Sounds True Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating equitable access to wisdom-based tools and practices. They aim to extend the teachings of mindfulness, self-compassion, and other wisdom-based principles to those in need. Through their innovative programs, they invest their financial and creative resources to dismantle barriers to transformational learning, promoting well-being, building resilience, and encouraging a shift towards compassion and connection in the world. The foundation's initiatives are diverse and inclusive. They offer need-based scholarships for a two-year comprehensive training program to become mindfulness meditation educators. They also provide complimentary access to an eight-week stress-reduction program for first responders and civil servants to manage stress and trauma effectively. There is a free conversation series between eco-spiritual teacher Joanna Macy and climate activist Jess Serrante, focusing on the beauty, pain and challenges of the world, and the commitment towards creating a positive change. In addition to these offerings, the Sounds True Foundation conducts seminars and guided practices for BIPOC audiences and supports Justin Michael Williams's national tour, sharing essential lessons from his book, Stay Woke. They also offer scholarships to a two-year comprehensive training program to become mindfulness meditation teachers, aiming to enhance resilience and performance within high-stress environments. The Sounds True Foundation works closely with Sounds True Inc., a for-profit company, although they are separate entities. Both organizations align in their mission to make transformational education widely accessible. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donations can be made online, by check, or internationally, with all transactions converted to USD.
