"With the recent devastation in Los Angeles, local volunteers were moved to share Eckhart’s books at the Santa Anita Race Track Donation Center in Arcadia, where the surrounding communities had been impacted by recent windstorms, fires, and loss.
Cyndee Bessant, Chief Wellbeing Officer of World Wisdom Well, and her team, alongside the Red Cross, met Jimmy—a local hotdog vendor who started this vital relief effort for wildfire victims—and his mom. They were among those who were happy to receive copies of Stillness Speaks and The Power of Now from The Eckhart Tolle Foundation at this difficult time.
We’re grateful to share hope and healing through Eckhart’s teachings, alongside organizations like these providing supportive vital aid in LA."

"Few people integrate wisdom across disciplines as seamlessly as Cyndee. She moves between neuroscience, quantum physics, and contemplative sciences, not as separate fields, but as a unified language of human potential.
From a Zen perspective, she expresses and embodies presence. Her work isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about awareness; guiding individuals and organizations toward a deeper, more compassionate existence.
From a quantum perspective, she operates at the intersection of possibility and transformation. Just as quantum mechanics reveals that observation shapes reality, Cyndee’s insights help shape a world where well-being, wisdom, and connection are central forces.
If you’re looking for someone who can bridge ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, and translate both into real impact, Cyndee is that unique and rare find."

"Cyndee has been like the big sister I never had—wise, nurturing, and always present whenever I need support the most. During some of the hardest times in my life, she showed up with calm, compassion, and the kind of emotional insight that made me feel seen and safe. Her guidance helped me understand my own well-being in deeper ways—mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. She not only offers guidance; she listens without judgment and helps me uncover my own strengths. I’m so grateful for the way she holds space, reminds me of my worth, and walks alongside me like family."

"Losing our home in the Mount Baldy fire was something I never saw coming. I thought I’d seen a lot in life, but nothing quite prepares you for watching everything you’ve built go up in smoke. It was just me and my dogs, trying to make sense of it all.
Then came Cyndee.
Her support has been a steady hand in the storm. She didn’t just offer help, she offered heart. Checking in, bringing supplies, or just sitting with us when words fell short, her kindness has been heartfelt. My dogs, who’ve been shaken by it all, seem to know they’re safe when she’s around. That says a lot.
In a time when everything felt lost, she reminded us that there’s still so much good in the world. I’ll never forget that."
