The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now" The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within.

This long-awaited second book by renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle goes deeper into the teachings so eloquently and clearly expressed in his first book, The Power of Now.

Practicing the Power of Now is a carefully arranged series of excerpts from the The Power of Now that directly gives us those exercises and keys. Return to those words, reflect on the words, reflect even on the space between the words and - maybe over time, maybe immediately - you'll discover something of life-changing significance.

Sustaining Presence in the Face of Catastrophe shares Eckhart Tolle's compassionate perspective for anyone dealing with intense suffering or loss. Recorded within a week of 9/11 at Omega Institute in upstate New York, these moving sessions bring listeners Eckhart Tolle's guidance in responding in the face of tragedy, staying rooted in presence when the unexpected happens, and realizing that which is eternal within all of us.

Recorded on retreat in Rishikesh, India, The Deepest Truth of Human Existence invites you to join Eckhart Tolle to realize who you are beyond the thought-based "little me" that too often dominates our lives. Eckhart begins by exploring the way we come to develop a separate sense of self and how, from a very young age, our minds are conditioned to maintain what he calls "the story in the head".

If you really want to know how spiritually awake you are, spend time around other people. For each of our relationships - from the brief interaction with the barista to our bonds with lifelong partners or family members - reflect back to us our predominant state of consciousness. On Enlightened Relationships, Eckhart Tolle offers an insightful two-session program for bringing the transformational power of presence into this often challenging yet deeply rewarding area of our lives.

When we hear the word “purpose,” we tend to think about striving to reach a certain goal in the future. “There is another kind of purpose that has nothing to do with time,” explains Eckhart Tolle. “This is your primary purpose—to be here fully in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment remains paramount.” With Finding Your Life’s Purpose, Eckhart presents a two-session program on making the transition from “thought-based” living to the realization of presence as the foundation for all you do.

The purpose of this Intensive is to help you to be present. It’s only when you are present that you can see the conditioned patterns in your own life. Freeing yourself from these conditioned patterns is the fulfillment of your life’s purpose – living from your authentic self.

The essence of meditation is not something we do; rather, it is simply to be, fully present and aligned with life in the moment. This is the central teaching of Eckhart Tolle’s What Is Meditation? In this audio session, Eckhart helps us transcend our beliefs and ideas about meditation—including the tendency to turn the practice into a means to an end—in order to realize directly our formless nature as being that is primary to any doing.

How can we live mindfully in a culture that constantly demands our energy and attention? According to Eckhart Tolle, this is the task of a lifetime - but it’s also one that you can begin in any moment. Recorded before a live audience in London, The Next Step in Human Evolution presents a warm, funny, and insightful evening with Eckhart and his teaching partner, Kim Eng.

Peace is possible. Eckhart Tolle discovered this firsthand during a transformational experience at the age of 29 - when the "continuous mental noise" that made his life "an unhappy story" spontaneously ceased. The Simple Truth is an illuminating audio session with the author of The Power of Now that traces the growth of Eckhart's teaching work - and offers the possibility for each of us to participate in the evolution of human consciousness.

It’s easy to let anxious thoughts of scarcity and judgment rule the day. Eckhart Tolle brings us liberating news: our greatest relief can be found in the present moment. On Awakening in the Now, Eckhart offers teachings to help you transcend the compulsive thinking that keeps us from creating a better world. This illuminating audio session will deepen your experience of what Eckhart calls “space consciousness."

What is the most essential trait for an effective healer or teacher? Intelligence, skill, and compassion are important, explains Eckhart Tolle—but without presence, our work in service of others falls short of its potential. Practicing Presence is a retreat for health practitioners, educators, spiritual teachers—or anyone who shares wisdom—offering more than seven hours of Eckhart’s practical advice for those fostering transformation in others. Covering a wide range of challenges and concerns specific to the helping professions.

When you discover that who you really are has nothing to do with what your thoughts tell you, something incredible happens: a vast space opens up. From that spaciousness comes a deeper intelligence that Eckhart Tolle calls “alert stillness”—or our essential nature beyond form. From Stillness to Presence explores our role in the evolution of human consciousness and how we can each begin to invite the arising of awareness in our lives.

What is your relationship to time? For most us, the ticking of the clock propels our attention away from the here and now—and toward an imaginary future that our thoughts tell us is far more important. This leads to frustration and suffering and robs us of the richness of life available only in the timeless present.

The Doorway into Now challenges the thought-based concept of time, inviting us to “step out of the stream of mental activity” and discover the formless, eternal essence of who we are beyond the mind—what Eckhart often describes as “stillness.”
