At the Eckhart Tolle Foundation, we are moved by the challenges faced by many young people today. We see a generation grappling with depression, anxiety, a sense of disconnection, and a yearning for purpose. Eckhart Tolle’s teachings offer a beacon of hope in this storm.
Empowering Young Minds: Free Programs for Presence, Growth, and Connection
The New Earth Youth Initiative brings Eckhart’s teachings to young people aged 18-30 through free access to specially designed online learning programs along with scholarships to Eckhart Tolle in-person events and retreats.
In these learning environments, Eckhart addresses the concerns of youth about how to skillfully interact with technology and social media, how to cope with anxiety and uncertainty, and how to navigate challenges in relationships with friends and family, and more.
Young people are our future. By nurturing their capacities for living with Presence and inner strength, we contribute to building a more compassionate and conscious world; we help build “a new earth.”
Are you a young person seeking a path to inner peace and purpose? We invite you to explore
the New Earth Youth Initiative and our online, self-paced course Embodied Presence: A Journey for the Next Generation.
Are you an educator supporting young students? Learn how our programs can benefit your
community.
“One of my insights was that Eckhart said a lot of suffering is caused by unconsciousness.”
-Jacoby Bryant
“It was a great reminder of how much our mind causes our suffering.”
-Sophie Novak (Alumni)
“Not having self-awareness means you think the root of the problem is others.”

The U.S. incarceration system often lacks adequate rehabilitation and support programs, leading to recidivism rates exceeding 50%. Overcrowding, mental health challenges, limited educational opportunities, economic barriers, and racial discrimination further complicate this landscape. Supporting both incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals is essential for true rehabilitation.
The Prison Outreach Initiative provides books and digital content and facilitates in-person visits with Eckhart. This promotes a culture of presence and transformational learning within correctional facilities and beyond. Additionally, we support organizations dedicated to prison reform and rehabilitation, collaborating to enhance the impact of our efforts and broaden the support network for those in need.
In partnership with Edovo, we deliver Eckhart’s audio and video teachings to incarcerated individuals in institutions nationwide. Inspired by thank-you letters Eckhart has received from people in prison, our commitment is to offer tools and teachings that help these individuals break free from internal suffering and find purpose and presence.
Are you formerly incarcerated, or do you love someone who is inside? We invite you to explore the Prison Outreach Initiative and our online, self-paced course Embodied Presence: A Journey for Inner Freedom.

“I read both The Power Of Now and A New Earth and I began to share it with other people that were on the prison yard.”
-Dominique Tanks

Each fall, the Eckhart Tolle Foundation hosts Presence Day, a free global gathering devoted to stillness, awareness, and the simple experience of being fully here. First launched in 2026 in honor of the Foundation’s 10th anniversary, Presence Day invites individuals, schools, wellness communities, and organizations around the world to step out of the usual momentum of life and share in a collective pause.
Participants receive a special teaching from Eckhart Tolle, along with guided Presence practices, meditation and reflection resources, and tools to create their own Presence Day experience. Whether through time in nature, quiet reflection, meditation, or rest from digital distractions, each person is invited to reconnect with the aliveness of the present moment, wherever they are in the world.
While Presence is always discovered within, there is something powerful about knowing we don’t have to practice it alone. By coming together for one shared day, we contribute to a shift in consciousness and help build “a new earth.”
