Deepening the Dimension of Stillness
A weekend retreat with Eckhart Tolle’s recent teachings.
Date: June 27-29, 2014 (Fri. evening to Sun. afternoon)
Discover Your Identity Beyond the Personal
With "the Power of Now" and "A New Earth", two bestselling works now considered spiritual classics, Eckhart Tolle has helped millions worldwide to break free from identification with thoughts—and enter into the freedom and joy of what he calls stillness, our essential nature. Deepening the Dimension of Stillness invites us to take the next step from 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. Join Eckhart for a transformational retreat, dedicated to fulfilling what he considers our ultimate purpose in life, as we explore together:
Form identity and essence identity-how to appreciate the continuous unfolding of life through direct realization of our oneness with its timeless source Becoming a hybrid human—how to transcend the mind-made sense of self and the suffering it creates and imbue all of our actions and interactions with the deeper truth of who we really are Simple yet direct practices—Eckhart's signature portals for maintaining presence amidst life's challenges A complete guided meditation into the depths of the moment
Paradoxically, explains Eckhart, as we grow comfortable living in spacious awareness, the so-called problems and insecurities of our lives give way to spontaneous joy, authentic freedom, and creative intelligence. Discover this great awakening, with Deepening the Dimension of Stillness.
Eckhart Tolle has acknowledged the influence on his teachingof Krishnamurti and has recently discussed at lengthpassages from Krishnamurti's 'Notebook', one of his favorite books.
