“If you have not yet gone completely mad in this mad world, you still have some access to the stillness inside you.”
— Eckhart Tolle, from Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat

Eckhart Tolle, renowned for the simple and powerful truths in his bestselling books The Power of Now and Stillness Speaks, recently led an extraordinary two-day retreat at Findhorn, the famous spiritual community in Scotland. The entire event was filmed and edited into the enclosed four-hour video and book package entitled Eckhart Tolle’s Findhorn Retreat: Stillness Amidst the World (New World Library, October 2006).

The book that accompanies the DVD presents elegant nature photographs and captions by Eckhart. The images are interspersed with quotes from some of the peak moments from the DVD, so the book itself becomes a powerful transmission of his teachings.

In his Findhorn presentation, Eckhart gives us a profound message of hope and simple tools for transformation — the clear guidance we need to realize the magic of every moment and deepen our awareness of the sacredness of being. His words have the power to deeply affect our lives and reveal something new each time we listen.

The main theme of Eckhart’s talk at Findhorn 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 the natural world around us. Our experience of life becomes nothing but a never-ending reel of thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints.

In his lighthearted but penetrating style, Eckhart explains how we can free ourselves from our mind-created sense of self by offering an in-depth explanation of stillness and how we can achieve it. His Findhorn Retreat offers a portal to serene sanity in a world that desperately needs it.
