Eckhart Tolle Foundation

We're deeply grateful for community members like Edith Alig Gagné, who has helped distribute A New Earth to her community in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In Edith’s own words: “Thank you so much for all you do. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share Eckhart’s teachings.”

“The greatest difficulty is the mental resistance to things that arise and the underlying assumption that they should not.” —Eckhart Tolle

We’re always grateful to hear from people impacted by incarceration about how Eckhart’s teachings have brought a deeper sense of inner peace during some of the most difficult chapters of their lives.

When young people learn to bring awareness to their inner world, something profound begins to shift. Instead of being overwhelmed by thought and emotion, they discover Presence. We're honored to bring Eckhart’s teachings to young adults who would otherwise not have access.

"The key to transformation is to make friends with this moment. What form it takes doesn't matter. Say yes to it. Allow it. Be with it." —Eckhart Tolle
