Sounds True

Sounds True is a Boulder, Colorado-based publisher of wisdom traditions, founded in 1985 by Tami Simon. The company began with a tape recorder and a mission to disseminate spiritual wisdom, and has grown into a multi-format publisher of audio programs, online courses, books, music, videos, and podcasts featuring respected teachers in meditation, mindfulness, and personal transformation.

What distinguishes Sounds True is its approach to recording: rather than scripted lectures, the company captures what it calls unscripted recordings — intimate studio conversations designed to convey the energetic transmission and living wisdom of each teacher. Its catalog spans short courses, In-Depth Programs, and full teacher certifications, often co-presented with academic and clinical partners such as the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Beyond publishing, Sounds True runs charitable programs including the Prison Library Project and the Sounds True Foundation, extending its core mission of making contemplative teachings accessible.

  • Susan E.

    Thank you for bringing Richard Schwartz HIMSELF to speak about IFS. Having read all his books, it makes sense to me that understanding of Self in spiritual terms is a breakthrough lens for everyone. To witness him, a scientist, courageously bring his hopeful understanding to a public forum is inspirational. look forward to each upcoming segment, and his ideas are a topic of discussion with others involved and not involved in the course.

    This [The Way of Guardians and Grace] was a life-changing course. Caroline Myss's stories helped with understanding what she was trying to convey. If you're trying to better understand the importance of intuition, following light over dark, how to tell the difference between the two, and how it comes into play with your soul's journey, this is the course for you!

  • Shoshanna S.

    I've never been so impacted by a book or teacher. I have spent the last fifty years as a spiritual seeker, having read many helpful and inspiring books and attended numerous retreats and workshops. This course [Living from a Place of Surrender] has helped bring me closer to my destination. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Michael Singer’s wisdom and skill as a teacher, offering a mind-blowing yet understandable presentation of the Truth and how to live it.

  • Donna F.

    I have been following the teachings of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield for several years. I hold a great amount of respect for their wisdom and skillful teaching. This course is the next step for my personal development as a facilitator and teacher. The course [Power of Awareness] is easy to follow and interactive, making it possible for much self-reflection and meditation practice. This course is a skillfully crafted course for anyone interested in meditation.

    Rich meditation lessons for a busy life. I practice meditation almost every day, and I’ve found the Mindfulness Daily to be an enriching and rewarding experience. I’ve completed the 40 lessons many times, yet I continue to return to this practice from time to time.
