My intention when I present "Living with Tolle" is to provide each individual with an experience of their own state of presence that is so palpable, so rich and alive, that they leave with a deep knowing of presence – a knowing that is beyond the mind's ability to understand. Being fully present in the moment is the secret to living in the flow of life and effectively putting into practice the three modalities of Tolle's awakened doing - acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm.

Here is what Eckhart Tolle has to teach about presence… “It’s not what you think it is! You can’t think about presence, and the mind can’t understand it. Understanding presence is being present."

"I attended one of Greg's talks and feel it was an important and transformative event. I have been a student of all things "spiritual" my entire adult life and especially loved Eckhart Tolle's books "The Power of Now" and the recent "A New Earth". So when I was notified of Greg's talk I instinctively had a good feeling about the event and decided to attend.

When I first walked into the room I was immediately struck with Greg's upbeat, positive and vibrant energy. During the talk Greg dispensed practical and poignant suggestions to keep ourselves anchored in the NOW. At the same time there was a very palpable underlying current of Presence. I definitely felt like I had been swept up in a stream of energy and that feeling lasted well into the next day. I will certainly look forward, while practicing being present, to the next time Greg comes to NYC.

I would highly recommend that if he comes to your area that you take advantage of being in the presence of someone who is practicing being in the Present in a very big way."

Groups and Community

The best way I've discovered to connect with groups on a local level is though Eckhart Tolle's official website and the online gathering place to meet person to person, Meetup. Visit the community area of Eckhart's site and enter your local details to find a group nearest you. With Meetup, no matter where you are on the site just enter Eckhart Tolle and your local details in the search tool, and the nearest groups that offer Eckhart related events will be highlighted.

I have been listed as a local group organizer on Eckhart's site since 2003. This is how I started as a teacher and from there I just kept listening to how Life was calling me to serve. Five years later, I've facilitated hundreds of group meetings and talks and now make my living as a spiritual teacher and coach! How is Life calling you to serve?

I also meet once a month with The Santa Monica Eckhart Tolle Meetup. This is a really fun group and it has turned into a date night for me and my wife.
