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 (New World Library, October 2005). 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. Our experience of life becomes nothing but a never-ending reel of thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints.

Tolle’s light-hearted delivery provides sparkling highlights to the jewels of wisdom that he shares with us. When we enter the deeper dimension of stillness that lies dormant in each one of us, we find peace. Stillness reconnects us to the sacredness of life. Tolle says “ This is why we’re here — to deepen our awareness of that dimension. If you become truly present, you find the sacred is everywhere.”
His words are words to be listened to deeply and repeatedly. Eckhart Tolle is truly one of the world’s greatest guiding lights, offering us serene sanity in a mad world.

Eckhart Tolle has emerged as one of the finest spiritual teachers of our time. His two books, The Power of Now and Stillness Speaks, have both been national bestsellers, and he draws large crowds all around the world. His teachings are not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, and he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. Eckhart Tolle lives in Vancouver, B.C. in Canada.
