GROUP DESCRIPTION

[scroll down to see schedule of upcoming meetings]

Present moment awareness is a powerful way to find inner peace, cultivate self-knowledge, practice acceptance, and have more FUN ... even through the challenges of everyday life.

At the Living With Tolle, Powerful Presence Now Meetup, we cultivate a healthy and stress-free way of life by helping people experience and celebrate the power of now.

Our guide in this journey is ECKHART TOLLE (known for his inspiring best sellers "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth.") At our gatherings, we don't "teach" or "interpret" Eckhart's teachings. Instead, we use them as a starting point for a journey of self discovery.

Each meeting begins with time to MEET & GREET. We continue by sharing a relaxing guided MEDITATION. We then listen to selections from Eckhart's CDs. We end our meetings with a casual conversation about the teachings and our they relate to our own life transformations.

Our Meetup members are a fantastic group of kind, friendly, and generous people from all backgrounds and life situations who come together to share their common interest in developing a more joyful life for themselves and for the world.

Join us if you'd like to meditate, experience the power of now, learn about Eckhart Tolle's teachings, and make new friends!

About LEO, the Group Organizer

Eckhart's teachings have transformed the way I experience life in the world. I created this group to bring together a community of people who are also seeking self-awareness, greater presence, and inner peace in their daily lives.

Since 2008, I have been producing a podcast called "Living With Tolle" with co-host Greg Larsen. In our conversations, we explore how to apply Eckhart's teachings to everyday life.

Our web site and our recordings have reached hundreds of thousands of listeners world-wide and have been at the top of iTunes' "Self-Help" and "Spirituality" categories. We regularly explore topics like the pain body, anxiety, addiction, acceptance, meditation, awareness, the inner body, inner peace, enthusiasm, and the power of presence.

In 2011, I created the Living With Tolle Montclair Meetup Group as a way to continue these conversations and to cultivate greater awareness, joy, and peace in Northern New Jersey.

I am also a certified meditation teacher offering a variety of meditation classes and one-on-one meditation coaching.  I have studied Vipassana meditation in the tradition of S.N. Goenka and I am a dedicated student of Zen Buddhism.

In my meditation classes, I infuse mindfulness meditation techniques from modern and ancient traditions with a sense of practical purpose, joyful playfulness, and deep loving kindness.My classes help students reduce their stress, improve their sleep, control their emotions, nurture better relationships, and bring more joy into their everyday lives.

Peace, Love, and Gratitude
