Changing the World from Within

The Eckhart Tolle Foundation is dedicated to accelerating the awakening of human consciousness to create a more peaceful and harmonious world.

“The awakening of human consciousness is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity for the survival of our species. It is up to each of us as individuals to embody the state of aware presence and thus rise above the egoic mind and its dysfunction.

When a sufficient number of humans undergo this transformation, this will bring healing and sanity to our planet.”

—Eckhart Tolle

Our Vision

The Eckhart Tolle Foundation is dedicated to accelerating the awakening of human consciousness to create a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Our Mission

The foundation focuses primarily on awakening human consciousness, as well as alleviating – and ultimately ending – the suffering created by the dysfunction of the egoic human mind. We accomplish this through making Eckhart Tolle’s teachings available to communities in need, and by funding and collaborating with like-minded organizations, especially those who work with youth and students, incarcerated people, hospice patients and the elderly, animals, and other vulnerable beings.

ECHOSE OF HOPE FOUNDATION

“I would like to thank you and the Eckhart Tolle Foundation again for giving me the opportunity to finally be able to see Eckhart in person!

I’m now in the bus on my way home so the experience of witnessing Eckhart, his wisdom and humor, together with the many other like-minded be-ings attending, is still very much alive within me. Every word Eckhart spoke resonated with me. I’m so grateful and humbled for your loving full and generous gift!

Thank you!”

“A cascade of benefits have been enjoyed through the generous donation of the Eckhart Tolle foundation. 
The materials have provided
a way for me to connect with the students and provide a platform for learning that decreases stress and increases a sense of safety and belonging in the learning environment.  It has also helped to boost my evaluation scores. It’s truly been a blessing for all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

About Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visonary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth—translated into 52 languages—he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakening state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.”
