“Whatever it is , stop trying to figure it out now. Let it remain unresolved a little while. Stop trying to fast-‐forward to the “answer” scene in the movie of your life; trust the present scene of of “no answer yet”. Allow the question itself space to breathe and be fertilized. Relax into the mysterious ground of the Now”
-‐ Jeff Foster
How can we find the calm in the midst of the storm of life? How can we find an effortless “yes” to the present moment ? How can we rest deeply , even as our hearts break open and our dreams turn to dust? How can we stay present and truthful even in the midst of the mess of intimate human relationships? How can we stop running away from our pain , our grief, our exhaustion , our failure, even our longing for awakening and enlightment, and start embracing ourselves exactly as we are? How can we find the wanted in the unwanted , and light in the darkest places ?

Dialogue with Jeff Foster ( Berriz 24-‐25-‐26 October 2014)
“ Falling in Love with Where You Are “ Letting Go of the Dream of Perfection and Resting in Presence
Dialogue with Jeff Foster ( Berriz 24-‐25-‐26 October 2014)
This retreat with UK author/teacher Jeff Foster is an invitation to rest from the exhaustion of daily life, to slow down, reconnect with your body, and experience what is truly present. It’s a chance to dive deeply into Jeff’s healing message of deep acceptance and fearless living, supported by peaceful natural surroundings, in a safe and nurturing environment with like-‐minded friends. Through talks, guided meditations, intimate dialogues, laughter, tears, and silence, Jeff will invite us in his own unique way to take a fresh look at our present experience and discover the ocean of who we really are: an open and loving awareness that has already allowed every wave of thought and emotion to arrive. We try so hard to control and understand life, to fit in, to succeed, to be good, to be ‘spiritual’, to reach our goals. We try so hard to be perfect, to be happy, even to be enlightened or awakened, and often we can feel so far away from where we think we ‘should’ be, so far from Home. We may end up exhausted, fed up, disillusioned or depressed. We may feel like a failed ‘self’, so far from home, sick of life and even sick of spirituality. We may long to rest deeply, but not know how… Candid, thoughtful, humorous -‐ and deeply compassionate toward those searching for a way out of suffering -‐ Jeff inspires us to stop trying to 'do' acceptance and start falling in love with 'what has already been allowed, falling into the mystery and the sacredness of the present moment. His simple, accessible and direct teachings point us back to who we really are in this moment -‐ already perfect, whole and free, and worthy of great love. Silence, laughter, lightness and a sense of real intimacy, honesty and friendship are the hallmarks of encounters with Jeff. His meetings are very spontaneous and informal, and there are plenty of opportunities to share and ask questions, if you are so moved. We look forward to seeing you there!
Dialogue with Jeff Foster ( Berriz 24-‐25-‐26 October 2014)
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 2014 list of the world's 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. Jeff has published five books in over six languages. His latest book Falling in Love With Where You Are is now available from Non-‐Duality Press. FRIDAY 24 18.00 h – 18.45 h Reception SUNDAY 26 17.15 h. Last Dialogue
