Your invitation to deep rest, creativity, and courage…
Dear Friend,
Many people know me as a teacher of deep rest and Presence – helping others slow down, soften, breathe, and return home to the stillness of Now.
But more and more, I feel called to the leading edge of my own life and teaching – exploring how Presence moves in the world. Not just how we sit in silence, but how we speak, create, love, and act in a world that often feels noisy, tense, and full of suffering.
Over the years I’ve published multiple books, translated into many languages, and my words have reached readers and listeners across the world. Many of you have read those books, watched my YouTube videos, or come across my posts on social media. Without much effort, I’ve somehow gathered nearly half a million followers. And yet, every single time I share – a post, a video, a book – I still feel the same vulnerability. That trembling exposure of putting my heart into the world. It’s scary, alive… and deeply healing.
For years, I didn’t share at all. I carried a whole inner world that never found its way out – unspoken words, locked-away creativity, poetry and truths I swallowed for fear they’d be “too much.” I know the suffocating silence of self-protection. I know how trauma can suffocate the authentic self.
But here is the paradox that changed everything for me:
Courage is revealed not as the absence of fear and doubt,
but as the willingness to take the step anyway –
trembling, yet rooted in Presence.
Through deep nervous system rest, the channel opens.
This realisation has saved me again and again. It is the beating heart of this course. And I believe it can change your life too.
This is why I created Opening the Channel. It is different from my previous courses. It’s not only about resting in stillness – it’s about what happens after the stillness. How rest gives birth to creativity. How Presence becomes expression. How meditation comes alive in your everyday life.
Because meditation and spirituality, beautiful as they are, can sometimes become a hiding place. We end up bypassing our pain, numbing our voice, silencing our truth. This journey is about the opposite – waking up, breaking the freeze, and discovering that your sensitivity is not a weakness but a doorway to courage.
Over six powerful LIVE sessions together, we’ll explore:
- Rest that opens – How deep rest melts defenses and makes space for truth and creativity.
- Why you don’t feel “ready” – And how to take courageous steps anyway, even with fear and trembling.
- Turning dragons into allies – Meeting shame, doubt, and fear as protectors of your deepest treasures.
- Breaking free from bypassing and perfectionism – Using Presence not to escape, but to express.
- Creativity as your birthright – Expression is not about being an “artist” — it’s about being alive.
- Living as a channel – Bringing this freedom into your relationships, your work, your family, and your daily life.
- PLUS Insights from my own path – I will share openly about my journey of thawing, expressing, and daring to bring my authentic voice into the world.
This course is my own leading edge. It isn’t just theory – it’s the living practice that allows me to keep showing up, raw and imperfect, and share my heart with the world.
I hope you’ll join me. We begin soon, LIVE.
Jeff Foster
Author of The Way of Rest

OFF THE MEDITATION CUSHION…
AND INTO THE WORLD
HAVE YOU HIT A WALL IN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE?
Too often, meditation can feel stagnant, boring, or lifeless – like a trap where energy gets stuck and life feels far away. Jeff’s approach is the opposite. Rooted in non-dual understanding, it builds a foundation of presence and safety in the nervous system, so you can meet fear, doubt, and discomfort with curiosity – and then take brave, authentic steps into the world.
Using meditation as a vehicle of presence, you’ll discover how to:
- See inner “blocks” as guides, not obstacles – “Blocks” are your nervous system simply protecting you from change, from the Unknown. Deep rest and a felt sense of safety can soften these old survival patterns, letting creativity flow through.
- Meditate even with a busy, restless or bored mind – Neuroscience shows your mind is wired to think constantly. Meditation is NOT about stopping thoughts… it’s about remembering the steady awareness that holds them.
- Meet fear, grief, and old silencing with deep kindness – Scary feelings rise when we slow down, but in bite-sized steps, your nervous system can release years of held tension. Safety and compassion unlock authentic expression.
- Build a sustainable and forgiving meditation practice – No discipline or perfection required. Curiosity and intention create a rhythm you can return to again and again. True meditation can be joyful!

Now, he invites you to join him in a space where meditation becomes more than a practice – it becomes a way of living, creating, and expressing with courage.
This is not a “how-to” course. It’s about opening the channel to your true creativity, reclaiming your presence, and stepping bravely into the world – fully alive, fully you.
Creativity is not something you do – it’s something you allow. Presence is the doorway. Courage is simply the choice to stay open when everything in you wants to close.”

ENJOY SIX WEEKS OF INSPIRATION…
LIVE ON OCTOBER 10
SESSION ONE
THE SHOCKING PARADOX OF PEACE
Discovering the Vast Presence That Can Hold All Parts of You
During this session, we’ll explore:
- The relief of dropping the endless pursuit of “inner peace”
- True meditation and the strange power of DOING NOTHING
- The body and breath as the core teachers of trust and presence
- Thoughts as weather, sensations as waves – and you as the ever-present sky
- Why every “sit” is your first ever meditation – really!
- Turning “I’m doing it wrong” into “Even this belongs”
Our journey of creation begins not with effort… but with the mystery of surrender. This week we stop chasing peace or happiness and start resting in the vastness that’s already here. You’ll learn to begin to trust your body, soften your breath, and let your nervous system deeply exhale, no matter what you’re feeling. Even numbness and distraction are welcome here. This is “true meditation” – meditation stripped back to its bare essence. It is wonderful permission to just be.
LIVE ON OCTOBER 17
SESSION TWO
STOP RESISTING YOUR RESISTANCE!
Why Fear, Shame and Doubt Are Not Mistakes, but Invitations
During this session, we’ll explore:
- Welcoming “resistance” as a doorway, not a block
- The inner critic as a scared child needing love and care
- Unlearning the exhausting myth of the “perfect meditation”
- How shame and fear lose their grip when met with gentleness
- Building an “inner sanctuary” where every part of you has a seat at the table.
This week, we invite the “inner war” to soften. Resistance, shame, and the inner critic are all met with radical compassion. These “parts” aren’t obstacles to healing or creativity – they’re sacred protectors, guardians of presence, longing to be seen. When you stop trying to fix or silence them, they soften, open, reveal their intelligence. Healing begins here.
LIVE ON OCTOBER 24
SESSION THREE
CELEBRATE THE “MONSTERS” INSIDE
How your Pain can Lead You Home
During this session, we’ll cover:
- Moving Past “Spiritual Stuckness” and bypassing
- Emotions as intelligent protectors, not enemies or signs that we are broken
- Nervous system regulation through slow, small doses of presence
- Finding the courage to meet discomfort safely, one moment at a time
- The intelligent tenderness and vulnerability beneath the urge to fix and escape
- Reclaiming our raw aliveness from the shadows of avoidance and distraction
When we slow down, we meet what we’ve been running from – grief silenced, fear dismissed, shame buried deep. These “monsters” are just parts that were exiled early, when being small and quiet felt safer than being fully alive. This week is about transforming those “monsters” into messengers, through love. The alchemy happens when we slow down and meet them with kindness.
LIVE ON OCTOBER 31
SESSION FOUR
DISMANTLING THE LIE OF PERFECTION
Rewiring Yourself to Love the Mess
During this session, we’ll cover:
- How shame transforms into something sacred when met with love
- The hidden costs of hiding, and the freedom in authenticity
- Creating from sensation, uncertainty, and raw presence — not intellect
- Sharing our truth in grounded, safe, and embodied ways
- Trembling, stumbling, and imperfection as marks of liberation, not failure
Perfection is a terrible illusion — and trying to live up to it keeps us small, silent, and blocked. This week, we turn toward our messy, imperfect selves as a radical act of courage. Trembling, stuttering, fumbling – all of it is welcome. It means you’re alive. True creativity can flourish in this vulnerable place.
LIVE ON NOVEMBER 7
SESSION FIVE
THE HEALING POWER OF A SINGLE STEP
The Courage to Create Without Apology
During this session, we’ll cover:
- The extraordinary healing power of taking just a “single step”
- Why “good art” kills honest art – and how to reclaim your true voice
- The healing power of play and experimentation
- Creating in spontaneous bursts that bypass the inner critic
- Expression as celebration, not performance
Creativity is not a skill—it’s your birthright. Life itself is wildly creative, and you are part of that unstoppable current. This week, we explore unsilencing your voice and inviting expression without apology… not to impress, but to reconnect with joy, truth, and aliveness.
LIVE ON NOVEMBER 14
SESSION SIX
THE GREATEST WORK OF ART
Living Presence and Creativity in Every Breath
During this session, we’ll cover:
- Living as meditation itself
- Your ordinary life as a sacred “studio” for creativity
- Finding your “starfish”: simple, joyful acts of love in action
- Activism from presence: changing the world without burning out
- Carrying this rhythm of safety and aliveness into everything you do
Presence and creativity ultimately aren’t things you do – they’re how you live. This final week weaves everything together into a rhythm of rest, expression, and aliveness. You’ll find your “starfish” – a simple act of love that ripples outward – and begin to see that your ordinary life is already sacred.

THE FORGOTTEN CORNERS
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
