“Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.” —Eckhart Tolle

“The secret to finding the deeper level in the other is finding the deeper level in yourself. Without finding it in yourself, you cannot see it in the other.” —Eckhart Tolle

Luis shared these words after receiving a scholarship to attend Eckhart’s virtual retreat in June, joining us from Colombia. Through our scholarship program, we work to ensure that where someone lives or what they can afford, is never a barrier to accessing Eckhart’s teachings.

“When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.” —Eckhart Tolle

In this clip from a live session for our New Earth Youth Initiative, Eckhart reflects on the importance of Presence and awakening for young people. In a world of constant noise and distraction, inner stillness is always there, waiting to be discovered.

We donated copies of Eckhart's books to the Correctional Service staff in Canada. These staff work alongside some of the most vulnerable people in our society. To hear that Eckhart's teachings have been meaningful and directly applicable to their work is why we do what we do.

“Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.” —Eckhart Tolle

As we celebrate the Foundation’s 10th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the momentum we’ve built. Young adults are finding stillness, hospice patients and families are meeting life’s final chapter with peace, and thousands of incarcerated learners are discovering inner freedom.

When an incarcerated individual at the Lewis County Sheriff's Department in Tennessee shared Eckhart's teachings, word reached Programs Coordinator Erica Herrell, who requested books for inmates. Today, those books line the shelves where learners gather to read together.

"If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn't even know you are thinking. You would be like a dreamer who doesn't know he is dreaming. When you know you are dreaming, you are awake within the dream." —Eckhart Tolle

We’re grateful to share this update from Stephanie Romero, Executive Director of @awakenpgh, one of our grantees who fosters well-being through their programs. They have been sharing Eckhart’s books with community groups across the region. Thank you for all the work you do.
