Synopsis

A two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland famous as a spiritual center on the leading edge of personal and global transformation offered an ideal showcase for Eckhart Tolle's transformative concepts, documented in this exciting package containing a book and two DVDs that capture the author at his best. Using his trademark lighthearted but penetrating style, Tolle explores in depth the concept of stillness and how to achieve it. Only by doing so, says the author, can transformation occur. Stillness offers a doorway into the Now and to true personal enlightenment, according to Tolle. Too often, people become trapped in their mind-created sense of self. He explains the compulsions that drive people’s thoughts as they analyze, interpret, and label every conscious experience they have. The result? An inability to perceive the sacredness in oneself and the natural world. Eckhart Tolle's Findhorn Retreat offers serene sanity in a world in desperate need of it.

About this title

From AudioFile:

In previous audios, the author's serious and slow-moving lessons showed how being in the moment allows a connection with reality that is free from intellectual conventions, judgments, and restrictive characterizations. In this audio, Tolle says that conventional thoughts and worldly activities are "forms" that are useful in dealing with various elements of the real world but misleading when used to define ourselves. The highest value and most free expression of our unique selves can be found when we reject these forms as definitions of who we are. The author's profound spiritual wisdom and, in this recording, his endearing charm make his simple message arresting, enlightening, and potentially life-changing.

From Publishers Weekly:

Tolle is well known for his teachings on stillness and inner peace, including his bestseller The Power of Now; he's also known for Findhorn, a spiritual community and retreat center in Scotland. Listeners can experience Tolle and Findhorn themselves in this audio production, which includes four talks he gave during a two-day retreat. Each CD contains one hour-long talk and focuses on a different aspect of stillness and learning how to live in the moment. Tolle's charming delivery is gently humorous but also pointed in his instruction. It's a delight to hear the audience laughing in the background as he softly encourages attendees to grab hold of the magic of the moment. No table of contents is provided with the set, and while the packaging is compact and lovely, the CDs tend to fall out easily. But for Tolle's followers who can't make it to Findhorn, this is the next best thing. Listeners eager to learn more about Tolle's teaching will glean much. Simultaneous release with the New World Library hardcover and DVD set. (Jan.)
