Resilience
in Challenging Times

A care package for the Sounds True community

In early 2020, we created this page to support you during the emerging pandemic. Today, the challenges keep coming, so we’ve been adding to this collection of free tools and teachings.

We hope these streams of wisdom help you to water your roots, build inner strength, find clarity of purpose, and nurture loving connection in your life.

“Times are difficult globally … We don’t need to add more depression, discouragement, or anger to what’s already here. It’s becoming essential that we learn how to relate sanely with difficult times.”
