Product Description

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.

TOLLE IS A TALISMAN4
AMAZING TO DISCOVER--AS HE WAS LECTURING IN HIS SENTIENT-BEING STYLE, "JETS" WERE FLYING OVER HEAD. NO O N E SEEMED TO NOTICE. HE IS PEACE PERSONIFIED.

Enjoyed it5
I bought this DVD as I started the online Oprah class. Each (this DVD and online webinar) has its place - Tolle is a little more accessible on the Oprah webinar, but I will be using this DVD as a "refresher" instead of slogging through all the Oprah classes again. The overall message and many of the examples, etc. are the same for both, but I found different points hit me in each, which has been a good thing. This DVD is definitely a more quiet and contemplative exposure to Tolle's teachings. As an aside, as a person who tries to live a Christian life and who reads the Bible regularly, I've found Tolle's teachings to be very helpful in building my spiritual practice.

Tolle's Retreat like a vacation for the soul4
For those of you who met Eckhart Tolle through Oprah's webcast series, and thought that 18 hours wasn't quite enough, (and sometimes it isn't) here's four more. Tolle speaks with a simplicity that is both enlightening and empowering, and still makes you feel like kind of an idiot that you didn't think of this stuff yourself.

I think that I would have preferred this as an audio rather than a DVD; not too many people have four hours to sit and watch a guy in a chair talk, and I understand an audio version is available. I have to say I don't think too much of the accompanying book. It doesn't add much to the package. But I recommend the DVD for its content, which takes you beyond even what he managed to cover on the Oprah webcast. You come away after even an hour refreshed, invigorated, and feeling great about life. It's like a weekend mini-break for the soul, and it is much appreciated.
