Eckhart Tolle, renowned for the simple and powerful truths in his bestselling books, The Power of Now and Stillness Speaks, led an extraordinary two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland, famous as a magical community on the leading edge of personal and global transformation.
When Tolle came to Findhorn, true magic happened, and the whole weekend is captured on audio CD in Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat. The CD is carefully edited down to create a deeply moving experience for listeners. Tolle provides simple tools for transformation — the clear guidance needed to deeply realize the magic of every moment. The main topic of Tolle’s talk at the retreat is stillness. He explains how compulsive thoughts become as we analyze, interpret, and label every conscious experience we have. In such a state we can no longer perceive the sacredness in ourselves and in that of the natural world around us.
New World Library is the authorized publisher of Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat
Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada. Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.
