“Sophy Burnham teaches with a rare combination of sweetness and impassioned fire that make her one of my favorite speakers of all time. Her lectures are nothing less than life-changing.”

—Tami Simon, founder and president, Sounds True

“What she has to give people comes not just from her luminous words — though her language is wonderful — but even more through the holiness of her presence, because she takes people into an experience that cannot be expressed in words but is carried somehow in her radiance.”

—John Sack, author and lecturer (now deceased)
