Sunreed™ has been serving the global sound healing community since the 1970s.
From our home in the Green Mountains of Vermont, we share sound healing instruments, teachings, and guidance with practitioners, seekers, therapists, musicians, and curious beginners exploring the power of sound.
Some people come to Sunreed™ looking for their first singing bowl.
Others come seeking deeper study in sound, consciousness, and earth wisdom traditions.
Wherever someone begins, our intention is the same: to support the unfolding relationship between sound, awareness, and authentic being.
Our Work
At Sunreed™, instruments and teachings have always lived side by side.
Our store provides carefully selected sound healing instruments from makers around the world, while our programs explore the deeper practices and traditions that help people work with sound in meaningful ways.
Together they form a living body of work that supports both practice and understanding.
Our Mission
Sunreed™ exists to support the global community through the transformative power of sound.
We offer high-quality instruments, time-honored teachings, and authentic guidance rooted in traditions of sound healing, consciousness development, and earth wisdom.
Our intention is dedicated to authentic healing and the process of worldwide self-realization.
Our Values
The work of Sunreed™ is guided by a few simple principles that shape how we teach, how we serve, and how we move through the world. These principles are not just ideas for us — they guide how we live, teach, and serve the community each day.
Stewardship
We see ourselves as caretakers of a living tradition.
Sound healing has roots in cultures and wisdom traditions around the world. We strive to protect the integrity of this work by offering instruments, education, and guidance with care, respect, and humility.
Tradition
We honor the ancestors and cultures who carried these practices forward long before our time.
Their wisdom continues to guide the way sound is used for healing, ceremony, meditation, and transformation.
Wholeness
We seek to live and work in right relationship — with each other, with the Earth, and with the community we serve.
This includes the way we run our business, the instruments we share, and the relationships we cultivate.
Awareness
Sound invites us to listen.
We believe that awareness — the ability to listen deeply to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us — is at the heart of healing and transformation.
Our Founders
Zacciah Blackburn
Founder of Sunreed™ | Emissary of Sound™
Zacciah Blackburn began Sunreed™ in the early 1970s following a series of life-changing experiences that opened him to the deeper nature of sound, spirit, and consciousness.
What began simply — crafting bamboo flutes and sharing them with friends — gradually expanded into a lifelong exploration of world music traditions, sacred sound practices, and the subtle relationship between vibration and awareness.
Over the decades Zacciah studied with master teachers from many cultures while also receiving direct guidance through profound inner experiences that shaped his understanding of sound as a vehicle for healing and awakening.
These experiences eventually grew into what he now calls The Way of Sound™, a body of work exploring the relationship between resonance, consciousness, and the living intelligence of the Earth.
Through Sunreed™, Zacciah has spent more than forty years sharing instruments, teachings, and practices with a worldwide community of practitioners and seekers.
Today he continues to teach internationally while guiding the evolving work of Sunreed™ from Vermont.
Dorothy Stone
Co-Director | Emissary of Sound™
Dorothy Stone brings over three decades of experience in holistic healing, sound work, and consciousness studies.
Originally trained as an oncology nurse, Dorothy followed a deep calling toward integrative healing practices and eventually devoted herself to the study of sound healing and consciousness work.
An artist as well as a practitioner, Dorothy creates many of the sacred instruments and ceremonial tools offered through Sunreed™, including spirit drums, sacred feminine instruments, and painted ceremonial pieces.
Her work arises through careful listening and an intuitive relationship with the natural world.
Born and raised in Vermont, Dorothy embodies the grounded presence of the land itself — offering kindness, compassion, and clarity to everyone who enters the Sunreed™ community.
Together, Zacciah and Dorothy guide the teachings of Sunreed™ as Emissaries of Sound™, sharing practices that invite people to rediscover their original resonance and purpose.
The Sunreed Team
Sunreed™ is supported by a small group of people who care deeply about the work and the community it serves.
Everyone here wears many hats, and each person brings their own talents, humor, and personality to the rhythm of daily life.
Our Home in Vermont
Sunreed™ is located in the Green Mountains of Vermont near Mt. Ascutney and many other landscapes long considered sacred by those who live close to the land.
Our facility operates with solar power, and we strive to use nearly 100% biodegradable or recyclable packing materials whenever possible.
This place — its forests, mountains, and rivers — continues to shape the spirit of our work.
The Heart of Sunreed™
Sunreed™ is more than a company. It is a community — a gathering place for those who feel called to sound, healing, and conscious living.
Whether you are discovering sound healing for the first time or continuing a path you have walked for years, we are honored to share this journey with you.
Welcome to Sunreed™.
