What's On

Contemplative Book Club

Retreat centre

Tuesdays 5th Nov  – 10th Dec 2024.

6:15 – 7:15pm. 

Join us for a reflective reading of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment’ by Eckhart Tolle.
 
No prior reading is necessary, as each week we’ll take turns reading from the book and pause to reflect on what’s speaking to us in in that moment.
 
 
 
‘The Power of Now’ has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages.
 
Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
 
In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.”
 
Books can be ordered from Red Kangaroo Books in Todd Mall, Alice Springs.
 
*** Feel free to come early and join in our daily meditation at 5:30pm ***
