Eckhart Tolle often points out that "the universe loves to create," as evidenced by "the multiplicity of life forms" both seen and unseen. On the other hand, he explains, there is at the same time an inward movement toward stillness and spaciousness—the primordial source of all life. At The Light Within retreat, you'll bear witness to these two profound impulses through four days in the most biologically diverse desert in the US, the spectacular Sonoran Desert.

As he often does on retreat, Eckhart will point to the remarkable setting for this event as our constant reminder of the two dimensions of life—the forms we can perceive with our senses, and the formless realm that makes it all possible. We'll explore how to embody "the dance of doing and Being" demonstrated by nature everywhere we look. We'll learn practices to deepen our felt sense of "the horizontal and the vertical"—or how we are at once an individual on a journey through time and space… and a timeless, indestructible being with the power of the universe in our hands.

As Eckhart shares in one of his favorite analogies, "The light of the sun is not the sun. Yet on the other hand, the light of the sun is one with the sun. In the same way, consciousness—the essence of who you are—is an emanation from the source of all life." Register today to join us for this inspirational encounter with Eckhart Tolle, Kim Eng, a compassionate community of "Presence practitioners," held within the vast stillness of the Sonoran Desert.
