MAY NEWSLETTER

Dear ,

Welcome to the first edition of the Eckhart Tolle Foundation newsletter.

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 by 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, students, incarcerated people, hospice patients, the elderly, and animals.

In this newsletter, we invite you to watch our latest short video illustrating our vision and how Eckhart's teachings have touched people’s lives. Additionally, we introduce our new grant program, book and online course donation program, and feature messages from community members impacted by Eckhart's teachings and the work of our foundation.

I am thrilled to introduce our new Executive Director, Aly Waibel. Aly brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to our vision, and we are fortunate to have her leadership as we continue to grow and expand our reach.

We would love to hear from you if you have ideas or connections that align with our mission and can further support our communities. Thank you for joining us on our journey to awaken human consciousness.

With gratitude for your Presence,

Erin Jacobson
Board Chair and President, The Eckhart Tolle Foundation

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Since 2017, thanks to the generous support we’ve received, we have been able to partner with Echoes of Hope to distribute nearly 3,000 books to children and young adults. Nicole Knosp-Guiral, CEO of Echoes of Hope, shared these words about the program:

“The Eckhart Tolle Foundation has consistently provided scholarships, books, and resources to students from underserved and under-resourced backgrounds that help them work through trauma and re-center. Milton’s Secret especially has been a crowd pleaser for the younger population of students we are working with. The easy-to-understand material really connects with students in a way other children’s books cannot. We truly appreciate all the amazing work the ETF does.”

And one book recipient, Demontea in Los Angeles, had this to say about the impact of Eckhart’s teaching:

“I was glad to have been introduced to Eckhart Tolle and his team. Not only was I able to acquire new techniques to be present and more engaged in my being, but I was encouraged to place my 'egoic self' aside to really invest and love others. This has helped me forgive and strengthen my relationships with my family. Thank you for enlightening our generation.”

THANK YOU!

Thank you for your support and for staying in touch. We’re incredibly grateful to our donors for the generosity that nurtures our initiatives and inspires our vision. Every donation helps us improve people’s access to Eckhart’s and Kim’s teachings.

We are committed to extending access to the teachings to ensure that the awakening of consciousness is within reach, regardless of life circumstances. We hope you will continue to support us in this critically important work.
