✨Looking for Jeff’s instant-access courses? Creating from Inner Stillness / The Gift of Disappointment / The Alchemy of Surrender
Join Jeff Foster for regular supportive meditations & dialogues on finding Peace and Simplicity amidst the storm of life.
Join three LIVE soul-enriching sessions with Jeff every month
exploring the ups and downs of spiritual awakening and healing.
Explore living in deep surrender to the present moment, with fellow travellers from all over the world – through guided meditations, poetry, dialogues and Q&A.
“True meditation is about being tender yet brave. It’s about slowing down. It’s about saying YES to our gorgeous, broken, tender human hearts, YES to our imperfections and doubts, YES to our pain and sorrow and joy, YES to our imperfect bodies, YES to ourselves, exactly as we are right now.
Authentic spirituality is not about escaping to some higher or superhuman dimension, but being more present, awake and alive to the pain and joy, the ache and the glory, the tragedy and the comedy of this One precious human life…”
Jeff Foster
An invitation to regular, supportive live sessions…
Dear Friend,
“Jeff Foster Live: A Healing Journey of Presence” is an online sanctuary … where you can meet yourself deeply, drop into the loving and supportive presence of fellow travelers from all over the world, explore your deepest feelings, laugh and cry, rest, meditate, feel deeply and heal with me and the community. It’s a safe and loving space where we can all meet life, moment by moment, with tenderness and bravery.
It is a sanctuary for the weary seeker in you, for the exhausted part, the sad part, the frightened part, the part that sometimes feels far away from the abundance of life.
It is a place where you are invited to discover stillness and peace underneath all the noise of the world. Where your anxiety, shame, imperfections and failures are not seen as blocks or faults of yours, but beautiful parts of you longing for acceptance and rest.
Week by week, month by month, you will hear of not only my own personal journey, but distilled insights from my working with thousands of people in retreats and private sessions for 15 years, helping them discover deeper levels of trust, healing and self-acceptance.
Through simple, friendly, restful, guided live meditations that cut to the root of suffering, honest talks, personal stories of my own struggle and journey of healing from chronic shame, suicidal depression and illness, original heartfelt prose and poetry, and through exploring your deepest questions, you’ll be guided into a place of deep inner rest, silence and peace … and we’ll bust some outdated myths about healing and spiritual awakening along the way!
Join me LIVE, from the comfort of your own home, and let’s rest together, and breathe together, and meditate together, and grieve together, and rejoice together, and return home to our place of true safety and sanctuary – the present moment.
I look forward to connecting with you, wherever you are.
With love and deep appreciation,
Jeff Foster

Your Online Place and Community for Rest, Recovery, and Renewal
After receiving amazing feedback for his online courses Ending The Inner War and The Deep Rest Course, Jeff Foster wants to lead you now through an ongoing journey of deep reflection, meditation, revelation… and a good handful of British humour!
Jeff is a survivor of chronic shame, physical illness and suicidal depression, so he understands what it’s like to suffer.
He discovered that in the midst of darkness, there is always an inextinguishable Light, an unbreakable Presence that loves us and says YES to us, exactly as we are, including all of our imperfections, flaws, doubts and perceived “failures”.
Jeff makes meditation, and spirituality itself, simple, joyful, human – and humorous! – again.
His meditations and teachings are suitable for beginners, and for every age and ability and background.
Whether you are new to meditation, or you’ve been meditating for decades and feel stuck – or even bored – in your practice, Jeff will offers a fresh, authentic, contemporary perspective.
This is Jeff’s first solo membership site, and we hope you can join him and many other people from around the world in a loving and nourishing online community.

OUR THEMES FOR THE COMING MONTHS
AUGUST
BEFRIENDING LOSS, DEATH AND IMPERMANENCE: EMBRACING THE HEARTBREAKING BEAUTY OF EXISTENCE
This month Jeff discusses impermanence. None of us are immune from it. But in our pursuit of the “positive”, we can push death — and its relatives, loss and grief — away into the shadows of the psyche. Facing death and loss can remind us of the sheer miracle it is to even exist. Facing the impermanence of all form can remind us of Formlessness itself, and make life precious. Every moment, painful or pleasurable, boring or exciting, is a call to Presence….
- What it really means to “make friends” with death and loss
- How meditation can help us stay present and not get overwhelmed in the midst of life’s big and abrupt changes
- How loss and impermanence are not mistakes but contained in every moment of our lives
- Dealing with anxiety and stress around loss and letting ourselves grieve freely
- How fear of death can transform into gratitude and a deep appreciation for life
THE HEART OF ALL ADDICTION: FINDING THE COURAGE TO BE STILL
This month Jeff talks about how at the heart of every addiction is the attempt to run away from ourselves, to flee our pain, to get “out of the Now”. Meditation slowly dismantles this core addiction, when we ‘bless the mess’ of our imperfect humanity. Even if it hurts, we stay. And we bless the part of us that doesn’t want to stay! Even the most ‘violent’ thunderstorms are welcome in the vastness of the Sky, and you are the Sky…
- How to break the cycle of running from ourselves: the core of all addiction
- How meditation can help us face and tolerate cravings and urges one moment at a time
- Becoming kinder to ourselves when we are hurting and struggling
- Why our “fix” is not what we really long for: Finding what we truly seek, on the deepest level
- Why Presence is the one ultimate “addiction” – with no side effects!
This month, Jeff talks about disappointment as sacred, as part of the path. Sometimes we just have to grieve out the past, the things we lost, the life we thought we were meant to live. Jeff relates disappointment to the death of the ego, and how it hurts like hell sometimes! But grief can also return us to the ground, if we can soften into it, let go of the image, and touch into the living truth.
- Why disappointment is not a mistake, but sacred and part of the path
- How to stay present rather than dwell on “what could have been”
- How embracing disappointment can bring us humility, gratitude and trust
- Why our ego tries to control everything, and how to “let go”
- Finding the calm in the storm: Softening into the way the moment actually is.
“Wise, spacious, and loving. Teachings that can free the heart.”

What others are saying about
Jeff’s online courses…
“This is trauma-informed 'spiritual enlightenment' for a new generation, without dogma, without jargon, deeply relatable, and with a giant dose of humor and humanity. Jeff's simple philosophy of self-acceptance is a welcome balm for our aching hearts…”
Dearest Jeff, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having offered this online course, for guiding us, in so many ways, through your loving patience, openness, hearings, sharings, meditations, into our own built in ability to stay with our most uncomfortable emotional and physical pain…
The live calls felt so personal and authentic, you sharing your journey on this path-less path resonated with me deeply as I recognised myself throughout.
Being able to do it in the comfort of my home was a huge gift. A 2 hour talk with you was of more benefit to me than 2 years of therapy!
I've had a sense over these weeks listening to Jeff and settling into the deep acceptance of vulnerability in this group of a voice saying "finally" deep in my being. Finally I get to allow, embrace and validate this resting yes (that holds and includes "no") - to simply be with what's here...
I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your absolutely amazing (and accessible, affordable) online class. This course definitely has changed my life, and hopefully so many others as well…
Thank you so much Jeff, for your guidance and your heart. I have been so moved throughout this course and gained so much awareness, impacting me every day. It is so rare to create such connection in this cyber-universe, but I am grateful to have participated.
This course has opened the door for me to learn how to embody unconditional love of myself, right here, right now, just as I am. Oh, and also the deep connection to the fact that I am never alone and the release I felt from truly allowing myself to be seen and held for the first time in my life.
You just have to face life a moment at a time. That's it. It was a huge relief to me. It shifted my way of thinking about my invasive suicidal thoughts... Being with our emotions instead of running from them...
The pivotal point inside for me was when you said that deep rest is not a goal, it’s who we are by nature, in our essence. I’ve been driven to productivity all my life and have focused on the forward momentum I’ve kept feeling in my body in the four years since retiring from the workplace. I knew that I was living “a short distance from my body,” (from a James Joyce character), and hearing you say what you did helped the final piece land for me. That, along with the idea of meditation as being present with whatever our life experience is in the moment, have me now, finally living in my body. I’m in such a better place to be present. Thank you from the fullness of my heart.
Not long into this course I sat in meditation when I realised I have been "in process" for more than a year at that point. I've struggled through this sticky, hot mess of emotions. Forcing myself to “feel better already”. I decided to be "in life" instead. It is after all what this human form calls for. That day I had such bad anxiety I thought I was going to faint, but I tapped into “the trauma” and touched something beautiful and sacred. Thank you for sharing this wisdom! Forever grateful.
Out of all the teachers I had, all those highly regarded masters... you were the one who were able to put an end to that whole separation, and without making yourself sound like some special spiritually realized being... Jeff, thanks. My God, thanks. I can finally rest in everything I meet.
Listening to you talk lets me sigh with relief; nothing wrong with whatever is and THIS is already – no matter which stories mind produces. Thank you very much, Jeff.

About Jeff Foster
Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence. The spiritual search came crashing down with the clear recognition of the non-dual nature of everything, and the discovery of the extraordinary in the ordinary. In the clarity of this seeing, life became what it always was: intimate, open, loving and spontaneous, and Jeff was left with a deep understanding of the root illusion behind all human suffering, and a love of the present moment.
Jeff was voted #59 on Watkins Review’s list of the world’s 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. Jeff has published several books in over a dozen languages. His latest book “You Were Never Broken” was published in July 2020 by Sounds True.
Jeff’s simple, compassionate teachings on self-acceptance
have touched thousands all over the world…
“Jeff’s words melt my heart and create an Oasis where I can rest and be myself.” – SY
“Jeff’s expression in this world gives me the permission to be wonderfully messily and chaotically human. Something I never gave myself. His expression literally saved me at some point.” – RC
“I’ve ‘known’ all this stuff for years but you moved it all from my head to my heart….The nuts and bolts of being here now….Falling into the arms of life. In the last call, during the opening meditation, I felt the universe inside me and was beautifully lost in it. Truly life changing, Jeff, and I thank you. 70 years of wandering in the desert and you have guided me home.” – JS
“His words are filled with beautiful inspiration and understanding, and so many times have just touched my soul when I have most needed it.” – JB
“For me Jeff is the voice of the wild soul that truly enters all essence of being and embraces every aspect of it.” – IV
“His words help me to not spiritually bypass my humanity. Put me right there in the middle of everything that Life is.” – VH
“His words, his meditations help me to find rest in me as I am right now, to find peace on my way, to see my fear as a little child looking for my attention and my Love.” – ME
“His words stabilize, normalize, embrace and pacify those of us who feel emotion deeply and haven’t been able to understand that we are beautiful because of them.” – LS
“A conscious voice able to illuminate not only the underlying mystery of it all, but also the deep seated traumas in the human psyche. A rare light that penetrates to the darkest forgotten places at the roots of violence.”– JS
“He helps me to step out of the stories of my mind. He shows me the joy of the open heart.” – JM
“His teachings have touched the deepest place inside and the felt resonance is just so reaffirming that it is all just passing in front of a never changing presence.” – TA
“I thought I was the one that had to carry life! I didn’t trust life at all, not for one minute. I felt like it was trying to take everything from me, even to kill me. I thought I had to learn more, work harder, try harder, work faster, work longer, do more, stay one step ahead … well, you get the idea. Until I couldn’t take it anymore. Then, during meditation, you suggested the unthinkable. To just fall into the arms of life. Life, that dangerous thing I’ve been protecting myself from for decades!! Prepared to die in an instant, I just made that swan dive into the dark abyss with nothing more than the wings of a prayer, and lo and behold I was held! I am held still!” – LH
“Jeff’s teaching gave me courage to face and meet that what seems unbearable. A doorway that was forgotten, overlooked, fled from.” – DW
“Jeff puts into words what I couldn’t express and it moved me to tears. He taught me that it’s ok to be a divine mess, awkward and scared, completely vulnerable and authentic. Learning to leave the mask off and embracing beautiful, f****d-up me.” – AS
“His teachings diminish my fear and allow my own wisdom to flourish.”– MH
“Jeff was the first person to allow me accept what I couldn’t accept – that began my healing process and I will be forever grateful.” – EH
“Jeff’s words have changed my life in that I have come to understand that all of me is worthy of love” – SP
“Jeff has taught me to accept my unlovable parts and start loving the whole of me” – TN
“His teachings have helped me to become best friends with myself resulting in trust, compassion, and grace.” – DC
