A New Consciousness for a New Earth
A weekend retreat with Eckhart Tolle's recent teachings, on DVD.
Date: February 27 – March 1, 2015 (Friday 7 pm – Sunday 4:30 pm)
Eckhart Tolle (see www.eckharttolle.com) has emerged as one of the best-known spiritual teachers of our time. His books: “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” are internationally acclaimed.
Immerse yourself in Eckhart Tolle’s profound, yet practical spiritual teaching of the power of stillness during a weekend residential retreat at Swanwick Centre, surrounded by ocean, wildlife, and a serene landscape.
With two bestselling works that are now considered spiritual classics, Eckhart Tolle has helped millions worldwide to break free from our identification with thoughts and enter into the freedom and joy of what he calls stillness, our essential nature.
In this retreat he invites us to take the next step from the occasional glimpses of spiritual awakening that more and more of us have experienced into a new, empowered, and lasting way of being in the world. Immersing ourselves in his most recent three-day retreat, we join Eckhart in exploring what he considers our ultimate purpose in life.
You will learn fresh, new pointers that will help you to enter the power of presence more deeply; to know yourself as consciousness (rather than “this” or “that”); and to manifest this realization in your daily life. You will return home with a stronger sense of who you are in the depth of your Being, having embarked on your spiritual journey to presence – not as a concept – but as a living reality.
Activities
Activities include the talks from Eckhart's most recent retreat on DVD, guided meditations, opportunities for dialogue and movement sessions.
