Eckhart Tolle is a German-born spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author whose work has profoundly influenced the contemporary spiritual landscape. Born Ulrich Leonard Tölle in 1948 in Lünen, Germany, he experienced a transformative spiritual awakening at the age of 29 after years of depression and anxiety. This profound shift in consciousness marked the beginning of his journey as a spiritual guide and thinker. Tolle abandoned his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge to explore and embody the stillness and presence he had discovered, eventually becoming a spiritual teacher based in London and later in Vancouver, Canada. Tolle rose to prominence with the publication of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment in 1997. The book, which emphasizes mindfulness and present-moment awareness, resonated with a global audience and was later championed by Oprah Winfrey, catapulting it to international bestseller status. In 2005, Tolle released A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, which expanded on his earlier teachings and explored the role of ego in personal and societal dysfunction. The book also achieved massive commercial success, further solidifying Tolle’s reputation as one of the most influential spiritual authors of his time. His teachings draw from a variety of traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Sufism, and Hindu philosophy, though he remains unaffiliated with any formal religion. Tolle emphasizes a non-dualistic approach to spirituality, focusing on the importance of presence, inner stillness, and the disidentification from ego-based thinking. His accessible language and calm demeanor have helped millions integrate spiritual practice into daily life. In addition to writing, Tolle has delivered talks, retreats, and webinars to audiences around the world. In 2008, he partnered with Oprah Winfrey to produce a groundbreaking webinar series based on A New Earth, attracting millions of viewers. He also co-authored the illustrated book Guardians of Being in 2009, further exploring his core themes through the lens of animals and nature. Tolle currently lives in Vancouver with his partner, spiritual teacher Kim Eng. Together, they continue to teach and support global audiences through online content, publications, and events. Widely regarded as one of the most spiritually influential figures of the 21st century, Tolle’s message of inner peace and awakening remains as timely as ever.

Yes, you have a name, a personal history, and important goals and aspirations. But there is so much more to you than that. 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.

Offering practical pointers for freeing ourselves from "the primacy of the ego," Eckhart guides us into the direct experience of our essential nature beyond the level of thinking as he discusses: • Honoring our psychological identities and the important roles they serve • The mind’s need for opposition—and the choice to surrender to the totality of the cosmos • The unconditioned consciousness from which all phenomena arise "The truth of who we are is never found in the past or future," explains Eckhart. "It is here, now, immediate." The Deepest Truth of Human Existence gives you the opportunity to make this great discovery yourself.
Through the Veil of Thoughts and Beliefs and into Spacious PresenceImagine carrying around a radio that constantly complains, criticizes, brings up past regrets, and frets about the future.

And beneath them lies our true self: a vast consciousness reachable through simple awareness.With Breaking the Habit of Negative Thinking and Self-Talk, this renowned teacher and author helps guide us out of this illusory landscape. In four immersive audio sessions, he shares insights, stories, illustrations, and practices to gently navigate us to our natural state of Presence, free of the mental labels and judgments that create suffering.Join Eckhart Tolle to explore: why the ego craves unhappy states, how to free ourselves from its endless chatter, ways to bring ourselves to the liberated spaciousness of unveiled Presence, and more."There is only one universal consciousness that emanates from the source of all life," Eckhart Tolle reflects, "and our true state of being arises out of it." Here, he points us, moment-by-moment, back to our deeper, limitless self.

Teachings on Bridging the Dimensions of Form and FormlessnessOnce there was a student who asked the master, "How can I become free of the world?" The reply: "Love the world and everything in it." How do we handle this paradox? By allowing and accepting what is. This is the simple yet life-changing teaching Eckhart Tolle shares on Freedom from the World, a retreat with the bestselling author of The Power of Now.Deepening Our Perception of Who We Really Are Many people with worldly success report they’re actually miserable, begins Eckhart. This is because worldly possessions and accomplishments will only bring short-term fulfillment when our lives are not rooted in the unified, unmanifested source of life itself—or what Eckhart often calls "the formless dimension." By discovering who we are in our most essential nature, he explains, we naturally begin to transform the world even as we transcend it. Freedom from the World brings you nine sessions with Eckhart, exploring how to be and act simultaneously in the material realm and in the formless dimension."You are a blessing on the planet when you are in touch with the spacious, formless dimension within yourself," teaches Eckhart. Freedom from the World brings you empowering teachings for bridging the dimensions of form and formlessness and living with renewed joy, peace, and a sense of a meaningful purpose.Highlights• Breaking the cycle of reincarnating thoughts • Sense perceptions, the inner body, and on-the-spot inquiries that serve as "portals to presence" • Simple practices to deepen daily interactions with others • Embracing the inherent goodness of life • Knowing the deeper truth that pervades the ever-changing content of your life • More than twelve hours of teachings on living in the world while rooted in Being
Discover a New Kind of Purpose—Living in Alignment with the Timeless PresentWhen 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, How to overcome the dissatisfaction and conflict produced by dysfunctional states of consciousness Dissolving the veil of mind for the direct realization that everything is sacred and alive Honoring the world of form without identifying with it Love as the recognition of the true Self that underlies everyone"You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that—that’s what life wants with you," teaches Eckhart. Finding Your Life’s Purpose is an invitation to a new way of being, free from conditioned patterns of reactivity and unhappiness, and aligned with the greater intelligence of the universe itself.

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. With "Enlightened Relationships, "Eckhart Tolle offers a two-session program on bringing the transformational power of presence into this often challenging yet deeply rewarding area of our lives. Session one explores the arising of a new consciousness on the planet, and how more and more of us are beginning to experience a shift from an egoic, thought-based identity to the realization of what Eckhart calls our essential Being nature. Session two offers a practical look at how this emerging awareness impacts our relationships, as well as the steps we can take to welcome the vertical dimension of space and stillness as the source of true connection and harmonious relationships. It s easy to fool yourself as to your state of consciousness if you avoid other people, remarks Eckhart Tolle. For presence to become deeply rooted, it must be tested in the fire of relationships. "Enlightened Relationships" brings you Eckhart s practical guidance in opening to the full potential of our interpersonal engagements."
Fulfillment and Joy through the Realization of Our Essential Identity When challenges arise in your life, what happens inside of you? For many of us, the larger the "problem," the more we resist, contract, and react unconsciously. On the other hand, explains Eckhart Tolle, in any given moment we have the chance to remain open to life, align with what is, and experience the natural sense of peace and aliveness that he calls "the joy of being." What It Really Means to "Be Yourself" The Joy of Being is a nine-session program that explores the process of awakening to our identity beyond the limits of thought, and the impact this transformation can have in the world. Speaking after a three-year teaching hiatus, Eckhart helps us release past conditioning to experience ourselves, our life circumstances, and each other with a renewed perspective and sense of delight. Here, Eckhart discusses how, through the recognition of our unconscious assumptions and the discovery of the limitless depths of the present moment, we can ultimately find in ourselves what we have been seeking from the external world. We naturally become vessels for the emergence of a deep, "spacious" consciousness that realizes itself through ourselves and those around us. "The joy of being is derived not from something that happens, or from some object, but from the essence of who you are," teaches Eckhart. "To know yourself as that is joy." The Joy of Being points to a revolutionary phase in human development―where thinking is no longer the dominant aspect of our lives, and unconditioned awareness expresses itself through and as each one of us. Highlights • Working with whatever arises as your guide for the continuing practice of presence• Using the inner body and sense perception to enter the Now• Freedom from suffering―the spiritual seeker’s best motive• Redefining "self-realization" as not knowing yourself• Awakening your deepest capacities for love• The practice of "being the space" for situations and circumstances you find difficult
