The Light Within

Welcome to Accelerating Our Awakening: A Four-Day Online Retreat with Eckhart Tolle & Kim Eng! In this online retreat you’ll join a global community of Presence practitioners to energize and sustain the shift in consciousness that will radically reorient your personal life and sense of purpose to align with the evolutionary impulse of collective awakening. 

Starting on Sunday, September 14 you’ll enjoy four days of talks and Q&A with Eckhart and Kim to immerse yourself in a living field of alert Stillness—the source of true creativity and effective solutions to the challenges we face on both the personal and societal levels.

These tips should help you have the most transformative retreat experience possible.

• Set up your space — Choose a quiet location where your Internet connection will not be a problem. Furnish your space with your most comfortable chair or meditation cushion. Create an altar with whatever inspires you: flowers, candles, incense, a meditation bell, photographs, or a statue, for example. Keep some water nearby, a yoga mat, blanket—whatever you need to be as relaxed and ready for each session as possible.
• Know the schedule — Consider printing out the agenda for our four days with Eckhart and Kim, so you won’t have to guess when you can take breaks or need to be logged on. Do what you can to ensure you’re fully available for the duration of each day’s presentations and activities.
• Inform your cohabitants — Let family members and the people you live with know about the retreat and when you would not like to be disturbed. This could include posting a sign outside your retreat space when we are in session.
• Practice good retreat etiquette — Bring your full Presence to the talks and avoid the urge to multitask.

We encourage you to watch the retreat live when it is possible and we will post replays of each session within two business days. Additionally, you will have access to the replays for 60 days, so you can continue to immerse yourself in these teachings.

By the conclusion of the retreat, you’ll have a wealth of insight and inspiring approaches to let go of inner resistance, access “nonconceptual” intelligence, and transcend the noisy, ego-driven thinking mind. These are the hallmarks of genuine “Presence Power,” as Eckhart often describes it—a power that you’ll bring into your daily life in ways that we often cannot even imagine. 

Wishing you an illuminating retreat!
