An amazing event happened this week. Oprah joined with Eckhart Tolle to present the first of 10 workshops on A New Earth via the internet. As far as I am aware the concept is the first of its type and about 500,000 people from 139 countries joined Oprah and Eckhart. What a consciousness shifting moment!!
There was no charge to join in, aside from access to the internet and a broadband connection. Many, due to the sheer volume, experienced difficulties watching live, so a podcast of the show is available for viewing or downloading.
When I watched it, I felt a deep gratitude towards both Eckhart and Oprah for opening this life changing material to everyone across the globe. The format was a little stilted to start. I put this down to the newness and from time to time Oprah would exclaim with joy about the experience. Eckhart went many times into the deep presence he holds well and shared many of the teachings from chapter one of A New Earth.
During the session they were able to take questions from the audience via Skype and that added another dimension.
I will certainly be ‘in the classroom’ for the next session – Tuesday 1pm Australian Eastern Summer Time. Why don’t you join me? Here is the link to Oprah’s site for all the sign in information.

I am so greatful to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah for turning me onto Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and her beautiful book ""My Stroke of Insight"". Her story is amazing and her gift to all of us is a book purchase away I'm happy to say.
Dr Taylor was a Harvard brain scientist when she had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.
What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can! Thank you Dr. Taylor, and thank you Eckhart and Oprah.
