Jeff Foster’s
THE DEEP REST
SELF-STUDY COURSE
Making Peace with the Unruly Mind &
Softening Into the Vulnerable Heart
Join author, poet and spiritual teacher Jeff Foster
for his supportive, heartfelt Online Retreat on
Living in Profound Acceptance of the Present Moment
“Meditation – in the deepest sense – means awakening to the heart-breaking preciousness of every moment of this exquisitely fragile life. It means 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 us, exactly as we are right now. This is the meditation that saved my life and brought me from depression to Deep Rest…”
Jeff Foster
A Personal Invitation to my Online Home Retreat…
Dear Friend,
I am sending you a big hug.
In these times of anxiety, groundlessness and uncertainty, I feel it’s more important than ever for us to learn to slow down, take life one moment at a time, and unravel ourselves from the fear-based conditioning of the mind. It’s crucial that we turn towards our bodies – our breath, our bellies, our authentic sensations and feelings – and remember who we truly are, underneath the stories we tell ourselves.
This is not your usual “self-help” course. (I don’t actually believe in a self that needs help). This is more like a sweet journey of unlearning, unfolding and unravelling together, where we untangle ourselves from fear, shame, and self-aggression, and we rest deeply from the exhausting project called “Me”, in the arms of the present moment. I will explore with you:
Deep Rest… for the overactive, anxious mind and the tired, tense body
Deep Rest… for the sensitive, vulnerable nervous system
Deep Rest... for the restless seeker in us, always trying to get “somewhere else”
Deep Rest… from our endless attempts to run away from ourselves
Deep Rest... which is truly known and felt and discovered in our own sweet Being.
Over 6 compassion- and humour-filled sessions together, I want to share with you distilled insights from my working with thousands of people in retreats and private sessions for nearly 15 years, helping them discover deeper levels of trust, healing and self-acceptance, and awakening to their true nature.
Through simple guided meditations that cut to the root of suffering, honest talks, personal stories of my own struggle and journey of healing from chronic shame and depression, original heartfelt prose and poetry, and answering your deepest questions, I want to guide you into a place of deep inner rest, silence and peace … and bust some outdated myths about healing and spiritual awakening along the way. 😉
Join me online, from the comfort of your own home, and let’s rest together, and breathe together, and return home to our place of true sanctuary – the present moment.
You can start today.
With love and deep appreciation,
Jeff Foster
Author of The Way of Rest and The Deepest Acceptance
P.S. When you join you’ll receive instant access to a sweet 50-page book of my original writing called Contemplations for Deep Rest: Soothing Words for Difficult Times, plus a copy of my Deep Rest guided meditation CD, and a bonus 80 minute video on Deep Rest, in which I share from my heart the ups and downs of the awakening journey. These are all yours to keep. From my heart to yours.

“The word “depressed” can be spoken as “deep rest”. We can view our depression not as sickness but as a state of Deep Rest, a sacred exhaustion and surrender that we enter when we are de-pressed, or pressed down, by the weight of the false self…”
“Perhaps your pain is not meant to have “disappeared” yet. Perhaps today’s pain has a sacred job to do. Perhaps your pain is what healing actually feels like…”
Jeff Foster
From De-Pressed to Deep Rest…
“I’ve had a sense over these weeks… of a voice saying “Finally!” deep in my being…”
“This course definitely has changed my life…”
“A 2 hour talk with you was of more benefit to me than 2 years of therapy!”
“It is so rare to create such connection in this cyber-universe…”
“I’ve been practising Presence and listening to Eckhart Tolle for years but your course has given me so much, no words can say. So many life-changing insights!”
After receiving amazing feedback on his first online class Ending The Inner War, Jeff Foster will lead you now through a deep dive into deep rest and the source of true meditation…
Jeff is a survivor of chronic shame and suicidal depression, so he understands what it’s like to suffer. In his mid-twenties, in the midst of his deepest suicidal despair and emotional pain and darkness, an awakening experience changed the course of his life and showed him his true non-dual nature. He discovered that in the midst of our darkness, there is always an inextinguishable Light, an unbreakable Presence that says YES to us, exactly as we are, including all of our imperfections and perceived flaws and doubts.
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 give you a fresh contemporary perspective.
Join Jeff for an honest, grounded and radical deep dive into Presence, the ultimate source of deep rest. He will show you that the One Thing you have been seeking all along… is your very own Being, something that has always been here, the calm in the midst of the storm of life.

Just some of the amazing feedback on Jeff’s previous online course…
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.
“Wise, spacious, and loving. Teachings than can free the heart.“

Jeff Foster
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 “The Joy of True Meditation” is published by New Sarum Press. His first poetry book “You Were Never Broken” will be published in July 2020 by Sounds True.

I'm so glad I did the course, it was REALLY helpful. I love your natural, playful and authentic style. You answered so many questions for me. Thank you so much.
Thank you Jeff, for making it so clear after years of practise and searching …. And for so much openness, kindness, understanding and love so much appreciation for a deeper understanding of being with myself in the now...breathe.
I've been practising presence and listening to Eckhart Tolle for years but your course has given me so much, no words can say. So many life-changing insights! I've learnt how to live with myself and finally relaxed. So I thank you from the bottom of my liberated heart.
Thank you Jeff Foster for being with us so we can hold our forgotten children inside of us. It's a beautiful process of learning how to be with my feelings fully. I didn't know before…
