The Peace Paradox:

Why Chasing Calm is Making You Miserable
(and What to Do Instead)

With your feet on the ground, your thoughts soar into untold possibilities. Planted firmly in the present moment, you explore the farthest reaches of time, only to return to the breath.
You are a marvel, and a paradox: rooted in presence, you imagine histories and dream of fantastical or frightening tomorrows.
Your breath rises and falls — the rising and the falling as One.
Know how precious you are, feel your tremendous worth, breathe, and take the next step… into the Unknown.
– Jeff Foster

A free supportive LIVE session with Jeff Foster

With Jeff Foster’s gentle and heartfelt guidance, meditation is stripped bare – feral, holy, alive – and healing begins not with stillness, but with radical honesty.

True peace isn’t found by escaping your messiness or forcing yourself to be “calm”, but by fully embracing everything you are.

Jeff invites you to drop the exhausting mask of the “perfect, peaceful one” and meet your broken heart with tenderness – welcoming grief, rage, fear, and wildness as essential parts of your wholeness.

This is true meditation, as Jeff calls it – not about transcending your humanity, but joyfully diving into it.

With his trademark compassion and humour, Jeff dismantles the myths that turn meditation into self-surveillance and spiritual perfectionism, revealing how the relentless chase for calm and stillness can actually deepen our wounds.

You’ll also experience a powerful guided meditation for self-acceptance and deep rest – an experiential journey to soften, open, and remember you were never broken.

In this raw, real, and trauma-informed session, you’ll explore:

Our dangerous addiction to the “positive”: What if “inner peace” is actually keeping you stuck?
How the desperate search for “calm” can actually retraumatize you – and the radical way to break free.
How to stay raw, grounded, and fiercely honest in the fire of your own experience, even when it’s uncomfortable
Can you really heal by “doing nothing”?: The shocking truth about meditation as a revolutionary act of protest against forces of distraction.

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.
